AICNT YHN Chapter 5

◄ YHN 5 ► ║ ═ ©

5 After this there was {a}[fn] feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 {[Now there is in Jerusalem][fn] By the Sheep Gate there is a pool},[fn] which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porticoes. 3 [[Therefore]][fn] In these lay a [[great]][fn] multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, and {withered}[fn] [[waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring up of the water, was made well from whatever disease he had.]][fn]

5 And a certain man was there [who had been][fn] in [his][fn] sickness for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been there a long time [already],[fn] he says to him, “Do you want to be made well?” 7 The sick man {answered}[fn] him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” 8 Jesus says to him, “Rise, [[and]][fn] take up your bed, and walk.”

9 And [immediately][fn] the man was made well, and he [[rose and]][fn] took up his bed and walked.

Now it was the Sabbath [on that day].[fn] 10 So the Jews said to the one who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to carry {the}[fn] bed.”

11 [But he][fn] answered them, “The one who made {me}[fn] well said to me, ‘Take up {your}[fn] bed and walk.’ ” 12 [[Therefore]][fn] [They asked [him],[fn] “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up [[your bed]][fn] and walk’?”][fn] 13 [But][fn] the one who was {healed}[fn] did not know who it was, {for}[fn] Jesus had slipped away, there being a crowd in the place.

14 Afterward Jesus found {him}[fn] in the temple and said to him, “See, you have been made well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you.” 15 [[Therefore]][fn] The man went away and {reported to}[fn] the Jews [[and said to them]][fn] that it was Jesus who had made him well. 16 [And][fn] For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus [[and sought to kill him]],[fn] because he did these things on the Sabbath.

17 But {he}[fn] answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.” 18 [Therefore,][fn] for this reason, the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

19 {Jesus therefore answered and}[fn] said to them, “Truly, [truly,][fn] I say to you, the Son [[of Man]][fn] {can do nothing}[fn] of himself, unless he sees the Father doing [something];[fn] for {whatever}[fn] the Father does, the Son does likewise.

20 “For the Father loves the Son and shows him {all that he himself is doing};[fn] and he will show him greater works than these, so that you may marvel.

21 “Just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, so also the Son gives life to whom he wishes.

22 “For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23 so that all men may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father.

“He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, [that][fn] whoever hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, the {hour}[fn] is coming, [and now is,][fn] when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

26 “For [just][fn] as the Father has life in himself [, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself];[fn] 27 he has given him authority [[also]][fn] to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.

28 “Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

30 “I can do nothing on my own; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the {one}[fn] who sent me.

31 “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true;[fn] 32 there is another who testifies about me [, and I know that {the}[fn] testimony which he {testifies} about me is true].[fn]

33 “You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth; 34 But I do not accept the testimony from men, but I say these things so that you may be saved.

35 “That one was the lamp that was burning and shining, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

36 “But I have testimony greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me to accomplish, {these very}[fn] works [that I do],[fn] testify [about me][fn] that the Father has sent me.

37 “And the Father who sent me, he has [[himself]][fn] testified about me. You have never heard his voice nor seen {his}[fn] form, 38 and you do not have his word abiding in you, because the one whom he sent, you do not believe in him.

39 “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and {these are they}[fn] which testify about me; 40 and you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.

41 “I do not receive glory from men, 42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.

43 “[[But]][fn] I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.

44 “How can you believe, receiving glory from one another, and not seeking the glory that comes from the only [God]?[fn]

45 “Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you [[before the Father]],[fn] Moses, in whom you have put your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
