* After these things was a festival day of the Jews , and Jesus went up to Jerusalem . * Now there is at Jerusalem a pond , called Probatica , which in Hebrew is named Bethsaida , having five porches . * In these lay a great multitude of sick , of blind , of lame , of withered ; waiting for the moving of the water . * 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 . * And there was a certain man there , that had been eight and thirty years under his infirmity . * 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 ? * 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 . * Jesus saith to him : Arise , take up thy bed , and walk . * And immediately the man was made whole : and he took up his bed , and walked . And it was the sabbath that day . * The Jews therefore said to him that was healed : It is the sabbath ; it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed . * He answered them : He that made me whole , he said to me , Take up thy bed , and walk . * They asked him therefore : Who is that man who said to thee , Take up thy bed , and walk ? * But he who was healed , knew not who it was ; for Jesus went aside from the multitude standing in the place . * 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 . * The man went his way , and told the Jews , that it was Jesus who had made him whole . * Therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus , because he did these things on the sabbath . * But Jesus answered them : My Father worketh until now ; and I work . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 . * For as the Father raiseth up the dead , and giveth life : so the Son also giveth life to whom he will . * For neither doth the Father judge any man , but hath given all judgment to the Son . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 . * For as the Father hath life in himself , so he hath given the Son also to have life in himself : * And he hath given him power to do judgment , because he is the Son of man . * Wonder not at this ; for the hour cometh , wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God . * 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 . * 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 . * If I bear witness of myself , my witness is not true . * There is another that beareth witness of me ; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true . * You sent to John , and he gave testimony to the truth . * But I receive not testimony from man : but I say these things , that you may be saved . * He was a burning and a shining light : and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light . * 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 . * 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 . * And you have not his word abiding in you : for whom he hath sent , him you believe not . * Search the scriptures , for you think in them to have life everlasting ; and the same are they that give testimony of me . * And you will not come to me that you may have life . * I receive glory not from men . * But I know you , that you have not the love of God in you . * 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 . * How can you believe , who receive glory one from another : and the glory which is from God alone , you do not seek ? * Think not that I will accuse you to the Father . There is one that accuseth you , Moses , in whom you trust . * For if you did believe Moses , you would perhaps believe me also ; for he wrote of me . * But if you do not believe his writings , how will you believe my words ?
