Jn Chapter 5 Verses 1-47
5:1
|  | 
After
|  | 
these
|  | 
things
|  | 
there
|  | 
was
|  | 
a
|  | 
feast
|  | 
of
|  | 
the
|  | 
Jews,
|  | 
and
|  | 
Jesus
|  | 
went up
|  | 
to
|  | 
Jerusalem.
5:2
|  | 
Now
|  | 
in
|  | 
Jerusalem
|  | 
near
|  | 
the
|  |  | 
sheep-market
|  | 
there
|  | 
is
|  | 
a
|  | 
public
|  | 
bath
|  | 
which
|  | 
in
|  | 
Hebrew
|  | 
is
|  | 
named
Beth-zatha.
|  | 
It
|  | 
has
|  | 
five
doorways.
5:3
|  | 
In
|  | 
these
doorways
|  | 
there
|  | 
were
|  | 
a
|  | 
great
|  | 
number
|  | 
of
|  | 
people
|  | 
with
|  | 
different
|  | 
diseases:
|  | 
some
|  | 
unable
to
|  | 
see,
|  | 
some
|  | 
without
|  | 
the
|  | 
power
|  | 
of
|  | 
walking,
|  | 
some
|  | 
with
wasted
|  | 
bodies.
5:4
[]
5:5
|  | 
One
|  | 
man
|  | 
was
|  | 
there
|  | 
who
|  | 
had been
|  | 
ill
|  | 
for
|  | 
thirty-eight
|  | 
years.
5:6
|  | 
When
|  | 
Jesus
| 
 | 
saw
|  | 
him
|  | 
there
|  | 
on
|  | 
the
|  | 
floor
|  | 
it
|  | 
was
|  | 
clear
|  | 
to
|  | 
him
|  | 
that
|  | 
he
|  | 
had been
|  | 
now
|  | 
a
|  | 
long time
|  | 
in
|  | 
that
|  | 
condition,
|  | 
and
|  | 
so
|  | 
he
| 
 | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
the
|  | 
man,
|  | 
Is
|  | 
it
|  | 
your
|  | 
desire
to
|  | 
get
|  | 
well?
5:7
|  | 
The
|  | 
ill
|  | 
man
| 
 | 
said
|  | 
in
|  | 
answer,
|  | 
Sir,
|  | 
I
|  | 
have
|  | 
nobody
to
|  | 
put
|  | 
me
|  | 
into
|  | 
the
|  | 
bath
|  | 
when
|  | 
the
|  | 
water
|  | 
is
|  | 
moving;
|  | 
and
|  | 
while
|  | 
I
|  | 
am
|  | 
on
|  | 
the
|  | 
way
|  | 
down
|  | 
some
|  | 
other
|  | 
person
|  | 
gets
|  | 
in
|  | 
before
|  | 
me.
5:8
|  | 
Jesus
| 
 | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
him,
|  | 
Get up,
|  | 
take
|  | 
your
|  | 
bed
|  | 
and
|  | 
go.
5:9
|  | 
And
|  | 
the
|  | 
man
| 
 | 
became
|  | 
well
|  | 
straight away,
|  | 
and
| 
 | 
took
|  | 
up
|  | 
his
|  | 
bed
|  | 
and
| 
 | 
went.
|  | 
Now
|  | 
that
|  | 
day
|  | 
was
|  | 
the
Sabbath.
|  | 
5:10
|  | 
So
|  | 
the
|  | 
Jews
|  | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
the
|  | 
man
|  | 
who
|  | 
had been
|  | 
made
|  | 
well,
|  | 
It
|  | 
is
|  | 
the
Sabbath;
|  | 
and
|  | 
it
|  | 
is
|  | 
against
|  | 
the
|  | 
law
|  | 
for
|  | 
you
to
|  | 
take
|  | 
up
|  | 
your
|  | 
bed.
5:11
|  | 
He
| 
 | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
them,
|  | 
But
|  | 
he
|  | 
who
| 
 | 
made
|  | 
me
|  | 
well,
|  | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
me,
|  | 
Take
|  | 
up
|  | 
your
|  | 
bed
|  | 
and
|  | 
go.
5:12
|  | 
Then
|  | 
they
| 
 | 
put
|  | 
to
|  | 
him
|  | 
the
|  | 
question:
|  | 
Who
|  | 
is
|  | 
the
|  | 
man
|  | 
who
| 
 | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
you,
|  | 
Take
|  | 
it
|  | 
up
|  | 
and
|  | 
go?
5:13
|  | 
Now
|  | 
he
|  | 
who
|  | 
had been
|  | 
made
|  | 
well
| 
 | 
had
|  | 
no
|  | 
knowledge
|  | 
who
|  | 
it
|  | 
was,
|  | 
Jesus
|  | 
having
|  | 
gone away
|  | 
because
|  | 
of
|  | 
the
|  | 
number
|  | 
of
|  | 
people
|  | 
who
|  | 
were
|  | 
in
|  | 
that
|  | 
place.
5:14
|  | 
After
|  | 
a
|  | 
time
|  | 
Jesus
| 
 | 
came
|  | 
across
|  | 
him
|  | 
in
|  | 
the
|  | 
Temple
|  | 
and
|  | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
him,
|  | 
See,
|  | 
you
|  | 
are
|  | 
well
|  | 
and
|  | 
strong;
|  | 
do
|  | 
no more
sin
|  | 
for
|  | 
fear
|  | 
a
|  | 
worse thing
|  | 
comes to
|  | 
you.
|  | 
5:15
|  | 
The
|  | 
man
|  | 
went away
|  | 
and
|  | 
said
|  | 
to
|  | 
the
|  | 
Jews
|  | 
that
|  | 
it
|  | 
was
|  | 
Jesus
|  | 
who
|  | 
had
|  | 
made
|  | 
him
|  | 
well.
5:16
|  | 
And
|  | 
for
|  | 
this
|  | 
reason
|  | 
the
|  | 
Jews
|  | 
were
|  | 
turned
|  | 
against
|  | 
Jesus,
|  | 
because
|  | 
he
|  | 
was
|  | 
doing
|  | 
these
|  | 
things
|  | 
on
|  | 
the
Sabbath.
5:17
|  | 
But
|  | 
his
|  | 
answer
|  | 
was:
|  | 
My
|  | 
Father
|  | 
is
|  | 
still
|  | 
working
even
|  | 
now,
|  | 
and
|  | 
so
|  | 
I
|  | 
am working.
5:18
|  | 
For
|  | 
this
|  | 
cause
|  | 
the
|  | 
Jews
| 
 | 
had
|  | 
an
even
|  | 
greater
|  | 
desire
to
|  | 
put
|  | 
Jesus
|  | 
to
|  | 
death,
|  | 
because
|  | 
not
|  | 
only
| 
 | 
did
|  | 
he
|  | 
not
|  | 
keep
|  | 
the
Sabbath
|  | 
but
|  | 
he
| 
 | 
said
|  | 
God
|  | 
was
|  | 
his
|  | 
Father,
|  | 
so
|  | 
making
|  | 
himself
|  | 
equal
|  | 
with
|  | 
God.
5:19
|  | 
So
|  | 
Jesus
| 
 | 
made
|  | 
answer
|  | 
and
| 
 | 
said,
|  | 
Truly
|  | 
I
|  | 
say
|  | 
to
|  | 
you,
|  | 
The
|  | 
Son
|  | 
is not
|  | 
able
to
|  | 
do
|  | 
anything
|  | 
himself;
|  | 
he
|  | 
is able
to
|  | 
do
|  | 
only
|  | 
what
|  | 
he
|  | 
sees
|  | 
the
|  | 
Father
|  | 
doing;
|  | 
whatever
|  | 
the
|  | 
Father
|  | 
does
|  | 
the
|  | 
Son
|  | 
does
|  | 
it
|  | 
in
|  | 
the
|  | 
same way.
|  | 
5:20
|  | 
For
|  | 
the
|  | 
Father
|  | 
has
|  | 
love
|  | 
for
|  | 
the
|  | 
Son
|  | 
and
|  | 
lets
|  | 
him
|  | 
see
|  | 
everything
|  | 
which
|  | 
he
|  | 
does:
|  | 
and
|  | 
he
|  | 
will
|  | 
let
|  | 
him
|  | 
see
|  | 
greater
|  | 
works
|  | 
than
|  | 
these
|  | 
so
|  | 
that
|  | 
you
|  | 
may
|  | 
be
|  | 
full
|  | 
of
|  | 
wonder.
5:21
|  | 
In
|  | 
the
|  | 
same way,
|  | 
as
|  | 
the
|  | 
Father
|  | 
gives
|  | 
life
|  | 
to
|  | 
the
|  | 
dead,
even
|  | 
so
|  | 
the
|  | 
Son
|  | 
gives
|  | 
life
|  | 
to
|  | 
those
|  | 
to
whom
|  | 
he
|  | 
is
|  | 
pleased
to
|  | 
give
|  | 
it.
5:22
|  | 
The
|  | 
Father
|  | 
is
|  | 
not
|  | 
the
|  | 
judge
|  | 
of
|  | 
men,
|  | 
but
|  | 
he
|  | 
has
|  | 
given
|  | 
all
|  | 
decisions
|  | 
into
|  | 
the
|  | 
hands
|  | 
of
|  | 
the
|  | 
Son;
5:23
|  | 
So
|  | 
that
|  | 
all
|  | 
men
|  | 
may
|  | 
give
|  | 
honour
|  | 
to
|  | 
the
|  | 
Son
even
|  | 
as
|  | 
they
|  | 
give
|  | 
honour
|  | 
to
|  | 
the
|  | 
Father.
|  | 
He
|  | 
who
|  | 
gives
|  | 
no
|  | 
honour
|  | 
to
|  | 
the
|  | 
Son
|  | 
gives
|  | 
no
|  | 
honour
|  | 
to
|  | 
the
|  | 
Father
|  | 
who
| 
 | 
sent
|  | 
him.
5:24
|  | 
Truly
|  | 
I
|  | 
say
|  | 
to
|  | 
you,
|  | 
The
|  | 
man
|  | 
whose
|  | 
ears
|  | 
are
|  | 
open
|  | 
to
|  | 
my
|  | 
word
|  | 
and
|  | 
who
|  | 
has
|  | 
faith
|  | 
in
|  | 
him
|  | 
who
| 
 | 
sent
|  | 
me,
|  | 
has
eternal
|  | 
life;
|  | 
he
|  | 
will not
|  | 
be
|  | 
judged,
|  | 
but
|  | 
has
|  | 
come
|  | 
from
|  | 
death
|  | 
into
|  | 
life.
|  | 
5:25
|  | 
Truly
|  | 
I
|  | 
say
|  | 
to
|  | 
you,
|  | 
The
|  | 
time
|  | 
is
|  | 
coming,
|  | 
it
|  | 
has
even
|  | 
now
|  | 
come,
|  | 
when
|  | 
the
|  | 
voice
|  | 
of
|  | 
the
|  | 
Son
|  | 
of
|  | 
God
|  | 
will
|  | 
come to
|  | 
the
|  | 
ears
|  | 
of
|  | 
the
|  | 
dead,
|  | 
and
|  | 
those
|  | 
hearing
|  | 
it
|  | 
will
|  | 
have
|  | 
life.
5:26
|  | 
For
even
|  | 
as
|  | 
the
|  | 
Father
|  | 
has
|  | 
life
|  | 
in
|  | 
himself,
|  | 
so
|  | 
he
|  | 
has
|  | 
given
|  | 
to
|  | 
the
|  | 
Son
|  | 
to
|  | 
have
|  | 
life
|  | 
in
|  | 
himself.
5:27
|  | 
And
|  | 
he
|  | 
has
|  | 
given
|  | 
him
|  | 
authority
to
|  | 
be
|  | 
judge
|  | 
because
|  | 
he
|  | 
is
|  | 
the
|  | 
Son
|  | 
of
|  | 
man.
5:28
|  | 
Do not
|  | 
be
|  | 
surprised
|  | 
at
|  | 
this:
|  | 
for
|  | 
the
|  | 
time
|  | 
is
|  | 
coming
|  | 
when
|  | 
his
|  | 
voice
|  | 
will
|  | 
come to
|  | 
all
|  | 
who
|  | 
are
|  | 
in
|  | 
the
|  | 
place
|  | 
of
|  | 
the
|  | 
dead,
5:29
|  | 
And
|  | 
they
|  | 
will
|  | 
come out;
|  | 
those
|  | 
who
|  | 
have
|  | 
done
|  | 
good,
|  | 
into
|  | 
the
|  | 
new life;
|  | 
and
|  | 
those
|  | 
who
|  | 
have
|  | 
done
|  | 
evil,
to
|  | 
be
|  | 
judged.
|  | 
5:30
|  | 
Of
|  | 
myself
|  | 
I
|  | 
am
|  | 
unable
to
|  | 
do
|  | 
anything:
|  | 
as
|  | 
the
|  | 
voice
|  | 
comes to
|  | 
me
|  | 
so
|  | 
I
|  | 
give
|  | 
a
|  | 
decision:
|  | 
and
|  | 
my
|  | 
decision
|  | 
is
|  | 
right
|  | 
because
|  | 
I
|  | 
have
|  | 
no
|  | 
desire
to
|  | 
do
|  | 
what
|  | 
is
|  | 
pleasing
|  | 
to
|  | 
myself,
|  | 
but
|  | 
only
|  | 
what
|  | 
is
|  | 
pleasing
|  | 
to
|  | 
him
|  | 
who
| 
 | 
sent
|  | 
me.
5:31
|  | 
If
|  | 
I
| 
 | 
gave
|  | 
witness
|  | 
about
|  | 
myself,
|  | 
my
|  | 
witness
|  | 
would not
|  | 
be
|  | 
true.
5:32
|  | 
There
|  | 
is
|  | 
another
|  | 
who
|  | 
gives
|  | 
witness
|  | 
about
|  | 
me
|  | 
and
|  | 
I
|  | 
am
|  | 
certain
|  | 
that
|  | 
the
|  | 
witness
|  | 
he
|  | 
gives
|  | 
about
|  | 
me
|  | 
is
|  | 
true.
5:33
|  | 
You
| 
 | 
sent
|  | 
to
|  | 
John
|  | 
and
|  | 
he
| 
 | 
gave
|  | 
true
|  | 
witness.
5:34
|  | 
But
|  | 
I
|  | 
have
|  | 
no
|  | 
need
|  | 
of
|  | 
a
|  | 
man’s
|  | 
witness:
|  | 
I
|  | 
only
|  | 
say
|  | 
these
|  | 
things
|  | 
so
|  | 
that
|  | 
you
|  | 
may
|  | 
have
salvation.
|  | 
5:35
|  | 
He
|  | 
was
|  | 
a
|  | 
burning
|  | 
and
|  | 
shining
|  | 
light,
|  | 
and
|  | 
for
|  | 
a
|  | 
time
|  | 
you
|  | 
were
|  | 
ready
to
|  | 
be
|  | 
happy
|  | 
in
|  | 
his light.
5:36
|  | 
But
|  | 
the
|  | 
witness
|  | 
which
|  | 
I
|  | 
have
|  | 
is
|  | 
greater than
|  | 
that
|  | 
of
|  | 
John:
|  | 
the
|  | 
work
|  | 
which
|  | 
the
|  | 
Father
|  | 
has
|  | 
given
|  | 
me
to
|  | 
do,
|  | 
the
|  | 
very
|  | 
work
|  | 
which
|  | 
I
|  | 
am
|  | 
now
|  | 
doing,
|  | 
is
|  | 
a
|  | 
witness
|  | 
that
|  | 
the
|  | 
Father
|  | 
has
|  | 
sent
|  | 
me.
5:37
|  | 
And
|  | 
the
|  | 
Father
|  | 
himself
|  | 
who
| 
 | 
sent
|  | 
me
|  | 
has
|  | 
given
|  | 
witness
|  | 
about
|  | 
me.
|  | 
Not
|  | 
one
|  | 
of
|  | 
you
|  | 
has
|  | 
ever
|  | 
given
|  | 
ear
|  | 
to
|  | 
his
|  | 
voice;
|  | 
his
|  | 
form
|  | 
you
|  | 
have not
|  | 
seen.
5:38
|  | 
And
|  | 
you
|  | 
have not
|  | 
kept
|  | 
his
|  | 
word
|  | 
in
|  | 
your
|  | 
hearts,
|  | 
because
|  | 
you
|  | 
have not
|  | 
faith
|  | 
in
|  | 
him
whom
|  | 
he
|  | 
has
|  | 
sent.
5:39
|  | 
You
|  | 
make
|  | 
search
|  | 
in
|  | 
the
|  | 
holy
|  | 
Writings,
|  | 
in
|  | 
the
|  | 
belief
|  | 
that
|  | 
through
|  | 
them
|  | 
you
|  | 
get
eternal
|  | 
life;
|  | 
and
|  | 
it
|  | 
is
|  | 
those
|  | 
Writings
|  | 
which
|  | 
give
|  | 
witness
|  | 
about
|  | 
me.
|  | 
5:40
|  | 
And
|  | 
still
|  | 
you
|  | 
have
|  | 
no
|  | 
desire
to
|  | 
come to
|  | 
me
|  | 
so
|  | 
that
|  | 
you
|  | 
may
|  | 
have
|  | 
life.
5:41
|  | 
I
|  | 
do not
|  | 
take
|  | 
honour
|  | 
from
|  | 
men;
5:42
|  | 
But
|  | 
I
|  | 
have
|  | 
knowledge
|  | 
of
|  | 
you
|  | 
that
|  | 
you
|  | 
have
|  | 
no
|  | 
love
|  | 
for
|  | 
God
|  | 
in
|  | 
your
|  | 
hearts.
5:43
|  | 
I
|  | 
have
|  | 
come in
|  | 
my
|  | 
Father’s
|  | 
name,
|  | 
and
|  | 
your
|  | 
hearts
|  | 
are not
|  | 
open
|  | 
to
|  | 
me.
|  | 
If
|  | 
another
|  | 
comes
|  | 
with
|  | 
no
|  | 
other
|  | 
authority
|  | 
but
|  | 
himself,
|  | 
you
|  | 
will
|  | 
give
|  | 
him
|  | 
your
|  | 
approval.
5:44
|  | 
How
|  | 
is
|  | 
it
|  | 
possible
|  | 
for
|  | 
you
|  | 
to
|  | 
have
|  | 
faith
|  | 
while
|  | 
you
|  | 
take
|  | 
honour
|  | 
one
|  | 
from
|  | 
another
|  | 
and
|  | 
have
|  | 
no
|  | 
desire
|  | 
for
|  | 
the
|  | 
honour
|  | 
which
|  | 
comes
|  | 
from
|  | 
the
|  | 
only
|  | 
God?
|  | 
5:45
|  | 
Put
|  | 
out of
|  | 
your
|  | 
minds
|  | 
the
|  | 
thought
|  | 
that
|  | 
I
|  | 
will
|  | 
say
|  | 
things
|  | 
against
|  | 
you
|  | 
to
|  | 
the
|  | 
Father:
|  | 
the one
|  | 
who
|  | 
says
|  | 
things
|  | 
against
|  | 
you
|  | 
is
|  | 
Moses,
|  | 
on
whom
|  | 
you
| 
 | 
put
|  | 
your
|  | 
hopes.
5:46
|  | 
If
|  | 
you
| 
 | 
had
|  | 
belief
|  | 
in
|  | 
Moses
|  | 
you
|  | 
would
|  | 
have
|  | 
belief
|  | 
in
|  | 
me;
|  | 
for
|  | 
his
|  | 
writings
|  | 
are
|  | 
about
|  | 
me.
5:47
|  | 
If
|  | 
you
|  | 
have
|  | 
no
|  | 
belief
|  | 
in
|  | 
his
|  | 
writings,
|  | 
how
|  | 
will you
|  | 
have
|  | 
belief
|  | 
in
|  | 
my
|  | 
words?
