ULT YHN chapter 5

5 After these things, there was a festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate there is a pool, in Hebrew being called Bethesda, having five roofed porches. 3 In these were lying a crowd of the ones being sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed.[fn] 4 [fn] [For an angel of the Lord went down into the pool and stirred up the water at certain times, and then the one having first stepped in after the stirring of the water was healed from whatever disease he suffered from.] 5 Now a certain man was there, having 38 years in his illness. 6 Jesus, having seen this one lying there and having known that he already is there a long time, says to him, “Do you want to be healthy?” 7 The sick one replied to him, “Sir, I do not have a man so that, when the water is stirred up, he might put me into the pool. But as I am going into it, another goes down before me.” 8 Jesus says to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” 9 And immediately the man became healthy, and he took up his bed and began to walk.

Now that day was a Sabbath. 10 So the Jews said to the one healed, “It is the Sabbath and not permitted for you to carry your bed.” 11 But he replied to them, “The one having made me healthy, that one said to me, ‘Pick up your bed and walk.’ ” 12 They asked him, “Who is the man having said to you, ‘Pick it up and walk’?” 13 But the one having been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had gone away secretly, a crowd being in the place. 14 After these things, Jesus finds him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you have become healthy! No longer sin, so that something worse might not happen to you.” 15 The man went away and announced to the Jews that Jesus is the one having made him healthy. 16 And because of this, the Jews began to persecute Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But he replied to them, “My Father is working even now, and I am working.” 18 Because of this, therefore, the Jews sought even more to kill him, because he not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

19 Therefore, Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son is able to do nothing from himself except only what he would see the Father doing, for whatever that one would do, these things also the Son does in the same way. 20 For the Father loves the Son and he shows him everything that he himself does, and he will show him greater works than these so that you might be amazed. 21 For just as the Father raises the dead and makes them alive, so also the Son makes alive whom he desires. 22 For not even the Father judges anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son 23 so that all will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one not honoring the Son does not honor the Father having sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you that the one hearing my word and believing the one having sent me has eternal life and does not come into judgment, but he has passed from death to life. 25 Truly, truly, I say to you that an hour is coming, and is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and the ones having heard will live. 26 For just as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to the Son to have life in himself, 27 and he gave him authority to do judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Do not be amazed at this, for an hour is coming in which all the ones in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and will come out—the ones having done good, to a resurrection of life, but the ones having practiced evil, to a resurrection of judgment.

30 I am able to do nothing from myself. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous because I do not seek my own will but the will of the one having sent me. 31 If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is another one testifying about me, and I know that the testimony that he testifies about me is true. 33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. 34 But I do not receive the testimony from man, but I say these things so that you might be saved. 35 That one was the lamp that was burning and shining, but you desired to exult in his light for an hour. 36 But I have the testimony that is greater than that of John: for the works that the Father has given me so that I would accomplish them—the very works that I do—testify about me that the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father having sent me has himself testified about me. You have neither heard his voice nor have seen his form at any time. 38 And you do not have his word remaining in you, for the one whom he has sent, this one you do not believe. 39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, and these are the ones testifying about me, 40 and you are not willing to come to me so that you might 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 I have come in the name of my Father, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you receive that one. 44 How are you able to believe, receiving glory from one another, and are not seeking the glory that is from the only God? 45 Do not think that I myself will accuse you before the Father. The one accusing you is Moses, in whom you have hoped. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me, because that one wrote about me. 47 But if you do not believe the writings of that one, how will you believe my words?”

The best ancient copies do not have the phrase waiting for the moving of the water.

Some ancient manuscripts include verse 4.
