5:1  After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went
up to Jerusalem.
 5:2  Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] a pool,
which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five
porches.
 5:3  In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of
blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
 5:4  For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool,
and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the
troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever
disease he had.
 5:5  And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity
thirty and eight years.
 5:6  When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a
long time [in that case], he saith unto him, Wilt thou 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 steppeth down before me.
 5:8  Jesus saith 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 the same 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 asked they him, What man is that which said unto
thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
 5:13  And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus
had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in [that] place.
 5:14  Afterward Jesus findeth 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,
which had made him whole.
 5:16  And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought
to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath
day.
 5:17  But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and
I work.
 5:18  Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because
he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was
his Father, making himself equal with God.
 5:19  Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily,
I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he
seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these
also doeth the Son likewise.
 5:20  For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all
things that himself doeth: and he will show him greater works
than these, that ye may marvel.
 5:21  For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth
[them]; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
 5:22  For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all
judgment unto the Son:
 5:23  That all [men] should honour the Son, even as they
honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not
the Father which hath sent him.
 5:24  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word,
and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and
shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto
life.
 5:25  Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, 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 hath life in himself; so hath he given
to the Son to have life in himself;
 5:27  And hath given him authority to execute judgment also,
because he is the Son of man.
 5:28  Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which
all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
 5:29  And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the
resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the
resurrection of damnation.
 5:30  I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge:
and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but
the will of the Father which hath sent me.
 5:31  If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
 5:32  There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know
that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
 5:33  Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
 5:34  But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I
say, that ye might be saved.
 5:35  He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were
willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
 5:36  But I have greater witness than [that] of John: for the
works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works
that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
 5:37  And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne
witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor
seen his shape.
 5:38  And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he
hath sent, him ye believe not.
 5:39  Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have
eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
 5:40  And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
 5:41  I receive not honour from men.
 5:42  But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
 5:43  I am 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, which receive honour one of another,
and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only?
 5:45  Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there
is [one] that accuseth 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 believe not his writings, how shall ye believe
my words?
