Jubilee2000 - John - 5

5:1  After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

5:2  Now in Jerusalem there is a pool by the sheep [gate], which in Hebrew is called, Bethesda, having five porches.

5:3  In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

5:4  For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and troubled the water; whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatever disease he had.

5:5  And a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.

5:6  When Jesus saw him lying [there] and knew that he had been now a long time [in that case], he said unto him, Dost thou desire to be made whole?

5:7  The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man when the water is troubled to put me into the pool, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.

5:8  Jesus said unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

5:9  And immediately the man was made whole and took up his bed and walked, and on that day was the sabbath.

5:10  The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day; it is not lawful for thee to carry [thy] bed.

5:11  He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed and walk.

5:12  Then they asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up thy bed and walk?

5:13  And he that was healed did not know who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in [that] place.

5:14  Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole; sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

5:15  The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole.

5:16  And for this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him: because he had done these things on a sabbath.

5:17  But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now, and I work.

5:18  Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

5:19  Then Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself but what he sees the Father do; for all that he does, this also the Son does together with [him].

5:20  For the Father loves the Son and shows him all the things that he does, and he will show him greater works than these that ye may marvel.

5:21  For as the Father raises up the dead and gives [them] life; even so the Son gives life unto whom he will.

5:22  For the Father judges no man but has committed all judgment unto the Son

5:23  that everyone should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who has sent him.

5:24  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word and believes him that sent me has eternal life and shall not come into judgment but has passed from death unto life.

5:25  Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour shall come, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live.

5:26  For as the Father has life in himself, so has he given to the Son to have life in himself

5:27  and has also given him power [and authority] to execute judgment because he is Son of man.

5:28  Marvel not at this, for an hour shall come when all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

5:29  and those that have done good shall come forth unto the resurrection of life; but those that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.

5:30  I can of my own self do nothing; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who has sent me.

5:31  If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

5:32  There is another that bears witness of me, and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true.

5:33  Ye sent unto John, and he bore witness unto the truth.

5:34  But I receive not testimony from man, but I say these things that ye might be saved.

5:35  He was a burning and a shining light, and ye were willing to rejoice for one hour in his light.

5:36  But I have greater testimony than [that] of John; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me that the Father has sent me.

5:37  And the Father himself, who has sent me, has borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his appearance.

5:38  And ye do not have his word abiding in you; for whom he has sent, him ye do not believe.

5:39  Search the scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life; and they are those who testify of me.

5:40  And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

5:41  I [do] not receive glory from men.

5:42  But I know you that ye have not the love of God in you.

5:43  I have come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

5:44  How can ye believe, who take glory one from another, and seek not the glory that [comes] only from God?

5:45  Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is [one] that accuses you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust.

5:46  For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for he wrote of me.

5:47  But if ye do not believe his writings, how shall ye believe my words?:
