| 1 | After these things was a festival day of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. |
| 2 | Now there is at Jerusalem a pond, called Probatica, which in Hebrew is named Bethsaida, having five porches. |
| 3 | In these lay a great multitude of sick, of blind, of lame, of withered; waiting for the moving of the water. |
| 4 | And an angel of the Lord descended at certain times into the pond; and the water was moved. And he that went down first into the pond after the motion of the water, was made whole, of whatsoever infirmity he lay under. |
| 5 | And there was a certain man there, that had been eight and thirty years under his infirmity. |
| 6 | Him when Jesus had seen lying, and knew that he had been now a long time, he saith to him: Wilt thou be made whole? |
| 7 | The infirm man answered him: Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pond. For whilst I am coming, another goeth down before me. |
| 8 | Jesus saith to him: Arise, take up thy bed, and walk. |
| 9 | And immediately the man was made whole: and he took up his bed, and walked. And it was the sabbath that day. |
| 10 | The Jews therefore said to him that was healed: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed. |
| 11 | He answered them: He that made me whole, he said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk. |
| 12 | They asked him therefore: Who is that man who said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? |
| 13 | But he who was healed, knew not who it was; for Jesus went aside from the multitude standing in the place. |
| 14 | Afterwards, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and saith to him: Behold thou art made whole: sin no more, lest some worse thing happen to thee. |
| 15 | The man went his way, and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole. |
| 16 | Therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath. |
| 17 | But Jesus answered them: My Father worketh until now; and I work. |
| 18 | Hereupon therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he did not only break the sabbath, but also said God was his Father, making himself equal to God. |
| 19 | Then Jesus answered, and said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you, the Son cannot do any thing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doth, these the Son also doth in like manner. |
| 20 | For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which himself doth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that you may wonder. |
| 21 | For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth life: so the Son also giveth life to whom he will. |
| 22 | For neither doth the Father judge any man, but hath given all judgment to the Son. |
| 23 | That all men may honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father, who hath sent him. |
| 24 | Amen, amen I say unto you, that he who heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath life everlasting; and cometh not into judgment, but is passed from death to life. |
| 25 | Amen, amen I say unto you, that the hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live. |
| 26 | For as the Father hath life in himself, so he hath given the Son also to have life in himself: |
| 27 | And he hath given him power to do judgment, because he is the Son of man. |
| 28 | Wonder not at this; for the hour cometh, wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God. |
| 29 | And they that have done good things, shall come forth unto the resurrection of life; but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment. |
| 30 | I cannot of myself do any thing. As I hear, so I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me. |
| 31 | If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. |
| 32 | There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. |
| 33 | You sent to John, and he gave testimony to the truth. |
| 34 | But I receive not testimony from man: but I say these things, that you may be saved. |
| 35 | He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. |
| 36 | But I have a greater testimony than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to perfect; the works themselves, which I do, give testimony of me, that the Father hath sent me. |
| 37 | And the Father himself who hath sent me, hath given testimony of me: neither have you heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. |
| 38 | And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him you believe not. |
| 39 | Search the scriptures, for you think in them to have life everlasting; and the same are they that give testimony of me. |
| 40 | And you will not come to me that you may have life. |
| 41 | I receive glory not from men. |
| 42 | But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you. |
| 43 | I am come in the name of my Father, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive. |
| 44 | How can you believe, who receive glory one from another: and the glory which is from God alone, you do not seek? |
| 45 | Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one that accuseth you, Moses, in whom you trust. |
| 46 | For if you did believe Moses, you would perhaps believe me also; for he wrote of me. |
| 47 | But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words? |
