5Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals.G3326G5023G2258G1859G2453G2532G2424G305G1519G2414

2Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades.G1161G2076G1722G2414G1909G4262G2861G3588G1951G1447G964G2192G4002G4745

3Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed.G1722G5025G2621G4183G4128G770G5185G5560G3584G1551G2796G5204

5One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.G1161G5100G444G2258G1563G2192G1722G769G5144G3638G2094

6When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to get well?"G2424G1492G5126G2621G2532G1097G3754G2192G2235G4183G5550G3004G846G2309G1096G5199

7"Sir," the invalid replied, "I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me."G770G611G846G2962G2192G3756G444G3752G5204G5015G2443G906G3165G1519G2861G1161G1722G3739G1473G2064G243G2597G4253G1700

8Then Jesus said to him, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk."G2424G3004G846G1453G142G4675G2895G2532G4043

9At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath,G2532G2112G444G1096G5199G2532G142G846G2895G2532G4043G1161G1722G1565G2250G2258G4521

10and so the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat."G2453G3767G3004G2323G2076G4521G1832G3756G1832G4671G142G2895

11But he replied, "The man who made me well said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.' "G611G846G4160G3165G5199G1565G2036G3427G142G4675G2895G2532G4043

12So they asked him, "Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?"G3767G2065G846G5101G444G2076G3588G2036G4671G142G4675G2895G2532G4043

13The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.G1161G2390G1492G3756G5101G2076G1063G2424G1593G3793G5607G1722G5117

14Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, "See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you."G3326G5023G2424G2147G846G1722G2411G2532G2036G846G2396G1096G5199G264G3371G3363G5501G5100G1096G4671

15The man went away and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.G444G565G2532G312G2453G3754G2076G2424G3588G4160G846G5199

16So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him.G2532G1223G5124G1377G2453G1377G2424G2532G2212G615G846G3754G4160G5023G1722G4521

17In his defense Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working."G1161G2424G611G846G3450G3962G2038G2193G737G2504G2038

18For this reason they tried 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.G1223G5124G3767G2453G2212G3123G615G846G3754G3089G3756G3440G3089G4521G235G3004G2532G2316G2398G3962G4160G1438G2470G2316

19Jesus gave them this answer: "Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.G3767G611G2424G2532G2036G846G281G281G3004G5213G5207G1410G3756G4160G3762G575G1438G3362G5100G991G3962G4160G1063G3739G302G1565G4160G5023G2532G4160G5207G3668

20For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed.G1063G3962G5368G5207G2532G1166G846G3956G3739G846G4160G2532G1166G846G3187G2041G3187G5130G2443G5210G2296

21For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it.G1063G5618G3962G1453G3498G2532G2227G2532G3779G5207G2227G3739G2309

22Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,G1063G3761G3962G2919G3762G235G1325G3956G2920G5207

23that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.G2443G3956G5091G5207G2531G5091G3962G5091G3361G5207G5091G3756G3962G3588G3992G846

24"Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.G281G281G3004G5213G3754G191G3450G3056G2532G4100G3992G3165G2192G166G2222G2532G2064G3756G2064G1519G2920G235G3327G1537G2288G1519G2222

25Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.G281G281G3004G5213G3754G5610G2064G2532G3568G2076G3753G3498G191G5456G5207G2316G2532G191G2198

26For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.G1063G5618G3962G2192G2222G1722G1438G2532G3779G1325G5207G2192G2222G1722G1438

27And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.G2532G1325G846G1849G4160G2920G2532G3754G2076G5207G444

28"Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voiceG2296G3361G5124G3754G5610G2064G1722G3739G3956G1722G3419G191G846G5456

29and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.G2532G1607G4160G18G1519G386G2222G1161G4238G5337G1519G386G2920

30By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.G1473G1410G575G1683G4160G3756G3762G2531G191G2919G2532G1699G2920G2076G1342G3754G2212G3756G1699G2307G235G2307G3962G3992G3165

31"If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.G1437G1473G3140G4012G1683G3450G3141G2076G3756G227

32There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is true.G2076G243G3140G4012G1700G2532G1492G3754G3141G3739G3140G4012G1700G2076G227

33"You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth.G5210G649G4314G2491G2532G3140G225

34Not that I accept human testimony; but I mention it that you may be saved.G1161G1473G2983G3756G3141G3844G444G235G5023G3004G2443G5210G4982

35John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.G1565G2258G2545G2532G5316G3088G1161G5210G2309G4314G5610G21G1722G846G5457

36"I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing—testify that the Father has sent me.G1161G1473G2192G3187G3141G2491G1063G2041G3739G3962G1325G3427G2443G5048G846G846G2041G3739G1473G4160G3140G4012G1700G3754G3962G649G3165

37And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,G2532G3962G846G3992G3165G3140G4012G1700G191G3777G191G846G5456G4455G3777G3708G846G1491

38nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent.G2532G2192G3756G846G3056G3306G1722G5213G3754G3739G1565G649G5129G5210G4100G3756

39You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you possess eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,G2045G1124G3754G1722G846G5210G1380G2192G166G2222G2532G1565G1526G3140G4012G1700

40yet you refuse to come to me to have life.G2532G2309G3756G2064G4314G3165G2443G2192G2222

41"I do not accept glory from human beings,G2983G3756G1391G3844G444

42but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts.G235G1097G5209G3754G2192G3756G26G2316G1722G1438

43I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.G1473G2064G1722G3450G3962G3686G2532G2983G3165G3756G1437G243G2064G1722G2398G3686G1565G2983

44How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God ?G4459G1410G5210G4100G2983G1391G3844G240G2532G2212G3756G1391G3844G2316G3441

45"But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set.G1380G3361G1380G3754G1473G2723G5216G4314G3962G2076G2723G5216G3475G1519G3739G5210G1679

46If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.G1063G1487G4100G3475G4100G302G1698G1063G1565G1125G4012G1700

47But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?"G1161G1487G4100G3756G1565G1121G4459G4100G1699G4487
