1. After this, a Jewish festival took place, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
|
1. After G3326 this G5023 there was G2258 a feast G1859 of the G3588 Jews G2453 ; and G2532 Jesus G2424 went up G305 to G1519 Jerusalem G2414 .
|
2. By the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem there is a pool, called Bethesda in Hebrew, which has five colonnades.
|
2. Now G1161 there is G2076 at G1722 Jerusalem G2414 by G1909 the G3588 sheep G4262 market a pool G2861 , which is called G1951 in the Hebrew tongue G1447 Bethesda G964 , having G2192 five G4002 porches G4745 .
|
3. Within these lay a multitude of the sick-- blind, lame, and paralyzed -- waiting for the moving of the water,
|
3. In G1722 these G5025 lay G2621 a great G4183 multitude G4128 of impotent folk G770 , of blind G5185 , halt G5560 , withered G3584 , waiting for G1551 the G3588 moving G2796 of the G3588 water G5204 .
|
4. because an angel would go down into the pool from time to time and stir up the water. Then the first one who got in after the water was stirred up recovered from whatever ailment he had.
|
4. For G1063 an angel G32 went down G2597 at a certain season G2596 G2540 into G1722 the G3588 pool G2861 , and G2532 troubled G5015 the G3588 water G5204 : whosoever then G3767 first G4413 after G3326 the G3588 troubling G5016 of the G3588 water G5204 stepped in G1684 was made G1096 whole G5199 of whatsoever G3739 G1221 disease G3553 he had G2722 .
|
5. One man was there who had been sick for 38 years.
|
5. And G1161 a certain G5100 man G444 was G2258 there G1563 , which had G2192 an G1722 infirmity G769 thirty and eight G5144 G3638 years G2094 .
|
6. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew he had already been there a long time, He said to him, "Do you want to get well?"
|
6. When Jesus G2424 saw G1492 him G5126 lie G2621 , and G2532 knew G1097 that G3754 he had been G2192 now G2235 a long G4183 time G5550 in that case, he saith G3004 unto him G846 , Wilt G2309 thou be made G1096 whole G5199 ?
|
7. "Sir," the sick man answered, "I don't have a man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I'm coming, someone goes down ahead of me."
|
7. The G3588 impotent man G770 answered G611 him G846 , Sir G2962 , I have G2192 no G3756 man G444 G2443 , when G3752 the G3588 water G5204 is troubled G5015 , to put G906 me G3165 into G1519 the G3588 pool G2861 : but G1161 while G1722 G3739 I G1473 am coming G2064 , another G243 steppeth down G2597 before G4253 me G1700 .
|
8. "Get up," Jesus told him, "pick up your bedroll and walk!"
|
8. Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto him G846 , Rise G1453 , take up G142 thy G4675 bed G2895 , and G2532 walk G4043 .
|
9. Instantly the man got well, picked up his bedroll, and started to walk. Now that day was the Sabbath,
|
9. And G2532 immediately G2112 the G3588 man G444 was made G1096 whole G5199 , and G2532 took up G142 his G846 bed G2895 , and G2532 walked G4043 : and G1161 on G1722 the G3588 same G1565 day G2250 was G2258 the sabbath G4521 .
|
10. so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, "This is the Sabbath! It's illegal for you to pick up your bedroll."
|
10. The G3588 Jews G2453 therefore G3767 said G3004 unto him that was cured G2323 , It is G2076 the sabbath day G4521 : it is not lawful G1832 G3756 for thee G4671 to carry G142 thy bed G2895 .
|
11. He replied, "The man who made me well told me, 'Pick up your bedroll and walk.'"
|
11. He answered G611 them G846 , He that made G4160 me G3165 whole G5199 , the same G1565 said G2036 unto me G3427 , Take up G142 thy G4675 bed G2895 , and G2532 walk G4043 .
|
12. "Who is this man who told you, 'Pick up your bedroll and walk?' " they asked.
|
12. Then G3767 asked G2065 they him G846 , What G5101 man G444 is G2076 that which said G2036 unto thee G4671 , Take up G142 thy G4675 bed G2895 , and G2532 walk G4043 ?
|
13. But the man who was cured did not know who it was, because Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.
|
13. And G1161 he that was healed G2390 wist G1492 not G3756 who G5101 it was G2076 : for G1063 Jesus G2424 had conveyed himself away G1593 , a multitude G3793 being G5607 in G1722 that place G5117 .
|
14. After this, Jesus found him in the temple complex and said to him, "See, you are well. Do not sin any more, so that something worse doesn't happen to you."
|
14. Afterward G3326 G5023 Jesus G2424 findeth G2147 him G846 in G1722 the G3588 temple G2411 , and G2532 said G2036 unto him G846 , Behold G2396 , thou art made G1096 whole G5199 : sin G264 no more G3371 , lest G3363 a worse G5501 thing G5100 come G1096 unto thee G4671 .
|
15. The man went and reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
|
15. The G3588 man G444 departed G565 , and G2532 told G312 the G3588 Jews G2453 that G3754 it was G2076 Jesus G2424 , which had made G4100 him G846 whole G5199 .
|
16. Therefore, the Jews began persecuting Jesus because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.
|
16. And G2532 therefore G1223 G5124 did the G3588 Jews G2453 persecute G1377 Jesus G2424 , and G2532 sought G2212 to slay G615 him G846 , because G3754 he had done G4160 these things G5023 on G1722 the sabbath day G4521 .
|
17. But Jesus responded to them, "My Father is still working, and I am working also."
|
17. But G1161 Jesus G2424 answered G611 them G846 , My G3450 Father G3962 worketh G2038 hitherto G2193 G737 , and I G2504 work G2038 .
|
18. This is why the Jews began trying all the more to kill Him: not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
|
18. Therefore G1223 G3767 the G3588 Jews G2453 sought G2212 the more G3123 to kill G615 him G846 , because G3754 he not G3756 only G3440 had broken G3089 the G3588 sabbath G4521 , but G235 said G3004 also G2532 that God G2316 was his G2398 Father G3962 , making G4160 himself G1438 equal G2470 with God G2316 .
|
19. Then Jesus replied, "I assure you: The Son is not able to do anything on His own, but only what He sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does these things in the same way.
|
19. Then G3767 answered G611 Jesus G2424 and G2532 said G2036 unto them G846 , Verily G281 , verily G281 , I say G3004 unto you G5213 , The G3588 Son G5207 can G1410 G3756 do G4160 nothing G3762 of G575 himself G1438 , but G3362 what G5100 he seeth G991 the G3588 Father G3962 do G4160 : for G1063 what things soever G3739 G302 he G1565 doeth G4160 , these G5023 also G2532 doeth G4160 the G3588 Son G5207 likewise G3668 .
|
20. For the Father loves the Son and shows Him everything He is doing, and He will show Him greater works than these so that you will be amazed.
|
20. For G1063 the G3588 Father G3962 loveth G5368 the G3588 Son G5207 , and G2532 showeth G1166 him G846 all things G3956 that G3739 himself G846 doeth G4160 : and G2532 he will show G1166 him G846 greater G3187 works G2041 than these G5130 , that G2443 ye G5210 may marvel G2296 .
|
21. And just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to anyone He wants to.
|
21. For G1063 as G5618 the G3588 Father G3962 raiseth up G1453 the G3588 dead G3498 , and G2532 quickeneth G2227 them ; even so G3779 the G3588 Son G5207 G2532 quickeneth G2227 whom G3739 he will G2309 .
|
22. The Father, in fact, judges no one but has given all judgment to the Son,
|
22. For G1063 G3761 the G3588 Father G3962 judgeth G2919 no man G3762 , but G235 hath committed G1325 all G3956 judgment G2920 unto the G3588 Son G5207 :
|
23. so that all people will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
|
23. That G2443 all G3956 men should honor G5091 the G3588 Son G5207 , even as G2531 they honor G5091 the G3588 Father G3962 . He that honoreth G5091 not G3361 the G3588 Son G5207 honoreth G5091 not G3756 the G3588 Father G3962 which hath sent G3992 him G846 .
|
24. "I assure you: Anyone who hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life.
|
24. Verily G281 , verily G281 , I say G3004 unto you G5213 G3754 , He that heareth G191 my G3450 word G3056 , and G2532 believeth G4100 on him that sent G3992 me G3165 , hath G2192 everlasting G166 life G2222 , and G2532 shall not G3756 come G2064 into G1519 condemnation G2920 ; but G235 is passed G3327 from G1537 death G2288 unto G1519 life G2222 .
|
25. "I assure you: An hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
|
25. Verily G281 , verily G281 , I say G3004 unto you G5213 , The G3754 hour G5610 is coming G2064 , and G2532 now G3568 is G2076 , when G3753 the G3588 dead G3498 shall hear G191 the G3588 voice G5456 of the G3588 Son G5207 of God G2316 : and G2532 they that hear G191 shall live G2198 .
|
26. For just as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted to the Son to have life in Himself.
|
26. For G1063 as G5618 the G3588 Father G3962 hath G2192 life G2222 in G1722 himself G1438 ; so G3779 hath he given G1325 to G2532 the G3588 Son G5207 to have G2192 life G2222 in G1722 himself G1438 ;
|
27. And He has granted Him the right to pass judgment, because He is the Son of Man.
|
27. And G2532 hath given G1325 him G846 authority G1849 to execute G4160 judgment G2920 also G2532 , because G3754 he is G2076 the Son G5207 of man G444 .
|
28. Do not be amazed at this, because a time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear His voice
|
28. Marvel G2296 not G3361 at this G5124 : for G3754 the hour G5610 is coming G2064 , in G1722 the which G3739 all G3956 that G3588 are in G1722 the G3588 graves G3419 shall hear G191 his G846 voice G5456 ,
|
29. and come out-- those who have done good things, to the resurrection of life, but those who have done wicked things, to the resurrection of judgment.
|
29. And G2532 shall come forth G1607 ; they that have done G4160 good G18 , unto G1519 the resurrection G386 of life G2222 ; and G1161 they that have done G4238 evil G5337 , unto G1519 the resurrection G386 of damnation G2920 .
|
30. "I can do nothing on My own. I judge only as I hear, and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
|
30. I G1473 can G1410 G3756 of G575 mine own self G1683 do G4160 nothing G3762 : as G2531 I hear G191 , I judge G2919 : and G2532 my G1699 judgment G2920 is G2076 just G1342 ; because G3754 I seek G2212 not G3756 mine own G1699 will G2307 , but G235 the G3588 will G2307 of the G3588 Father G3962 which hath sent G3992 me G3165 .
|
31. "If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.
|
31. If G1437 I G1473 bear witness G3140 of G4012 myself G1683 , my G3450 witness G3141 is G2076 not G3756 true G227 .
|
32. There is Another who testifies about Me, and I know that the testimony He gives about Me is valid.
|
32. There is G2076 another G243 that beareth witness G3140 of G4012 me G1700 ; and G2532 I know G1492 that G3754 the G3588 witness G3141 which G3739 he witnesseth G3140 of G4012 me G1700 is G2076 true G227 .
|
33. You have sent messengers to John, and he has testified to the truth.
|
33. Ye G5210 sent G649 unto G4314 John G2491 , and G2532 he bare witness G3140 unto the G3588 truth G225 .
|
34. I don't receive man's testimony, but I say these things so that you may be saved.
|
34. But G1161 I G1473 receive G2983 not G3756 testimony G3141 from G3844 man G444 : but G235 these things G5023 I say G3004 , that G2443 ye G5210 might be saved G4982 .
|
35. John was a burning and shining lamp, and for a time you were willing to enjoy his light.
|
35. He G1565 was G2258 a burning G2545 and G2532 a shining G5316 light G3088 : and G1161 ye G5210 were willing G2309 for G4314 a season G5610 to rejoice G21 in G1722 his G846 light G5457 .
|
36. "But I have a greater testimony than John's because of the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish. These very works I am doing testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.
|
36. But G1161 I G1473 have G2192 greater G3187 witness G3141 than that of John G2491 : for G1063 the G3588 works G2041 which G3739 the G3588 Father G3962 hath given G1325 me G3427 to G2443 finish G5048 , the G846 same G846 works G2041 that G3739 I G1473 do G4160 , bear witness G3140 of G4012 me G1700 , that G3754 the G3588 Father G3962 hath sent G649 me G3165 .
|
37. The Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have not heard His voice at any time, and you haven't seen His form.
|
37. And G2532 the G3588 Father G3962 himself G846 , which hath sent G3992 me G3165 , hath borne witness G3140 of G4012 me G1700 . Ye have neither G3777 heard G191 his G846 voice G5456 at any time G4455 , nor G3777 seen G3708 his G846 shape G1491 .
|
38. You don't have His word living in you, because you don't believe the One He sent.
|
38. And G2532 ye have G2192 not G3756 his G846 word G3056 abiding G3306 in G1722 you G5213 : for G3754 whom G3739 he G1565 hath sent G649 , him G5129 ye G5210 believe G4100 not G3756 .
|
39. You pore over the Scriptures because you think you have eternal life in them, yet they testify about Me.
|
39. Search G2045 the G3588 Scriptures G1124 ; for G3754 in G1722 them G846 ye G5210 think G1380 ye have G2192 eternal G166 life G2222 : and G2532 they G1565 are G1526 they which testify G3140 of G4012 me G1700 .
|
40. And you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
|
40. And G2532 ye will G2309 not G3756 come G2064 to G4314 me G3165 , that G2443 ye might have G2192 life G2222 .
|
41. "I do not accept glory from men,
|
41. I receive G2983 not G3756 honor G1391 from G3844 men G444 .
|
42. but I know you-- that you have no love for God within you.
|
42. But G235 I know G1097 you G5209 , that G3754 ye have G2192 not G3756 the G3588 love G26 of God G2316 in G1722 you G1438 .
|
43. I have come in My Father's name, yet you don't accept Me. If someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.
|
43. I G1473 am come G2064 in G1722 my G3450 Father G3962 's name G3686 , and G2532 ye receive G2983 me G3165 not G3756 : if G1437 another G243 shall come G2064 in G1722 his own G2398 name G3686 , him G1565 ye will receive G2983 .
|
44. How can you believe? While accepting glory from one another, you don't seek the glory that comes from the only God.
|
44. How G4459 can G1410 ye G5210 believe G4100 , which receive G2983 honor G1391 one of another G240 G3844 , and G2532 seek G2212 not G3756 the G3588 honor G1391 that G3588 cometh from G3844 God G2316 only G3441 ?
|
45. Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom you have set your hope.
|
45. Do not G3361 think G1380 that G3754 I G1473 will accuse G2723 you G5216 to G4314 the G3588 Father G3962 : there is G2076 one that accuseth G2723 you G5216 , even Moses G3475 , in G1519 whom G3739 ye G5210 trust G1679 .
|
46. For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.
|
46. For G1063 had ye G1487 believed G4100 Moses G3475 , ye would have believed G4100 G302 me G1698 : for G1063 he G1565 wrote G1125 of G4012 me G1700 .
|
47. But if you don't believe his writings, how will you believe My words?"
|
47. But G1161 if G1487 ye believe G4100 not G3756 his G1565 writings G1121 , how G4459 shall ye believe G4100 my G1699 words G4487 ?
