John 5:10-36

¹⁰The Iewes therefore said to him that was made whole, It is the Sabbath day: it is not lawfull for thee to cary thy bed.

¹¹He answered them, He that made me whole, he said vnto me, Take vp thy bed, and walke.

¹²Then asked they him, What man is that which said vnto thee, Take vp thy bed and walke?

¹³And he that was healed, knewe not who it was: for Iesus had conueied himselfe away from the multitude that was in that place.

¹⁴And after that, Iesus founde him in the Temple, and said vnto him, Beholde, thou art made whole: sinne no more, lest a worse thing come vnto thee.

¹⁵The man departed and tolde the Iewes that it was Iesus, which had made him whole.

¹⁶And therefore the Iewes did persecute Iesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day.

¹⁷But Iesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I worke.

¹⁸Therefore the Iewes sought the more to kill him: not onely because he had broken the Sabbath: but said also that God was his Father, and made himselfe equall with God.

¹⁹Then answered Iesus, and said vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, The Sonne can doe nothing of himselfe, saue that he seeth the Father doe: for whatsoeuer things he doth, the same things doeth the Sonne in like maner.

²⁰For the Father loueth the Sonne, and sheweth him all things, whatsoeuer he himselfe doeth, and he will shewe him greater workes then these, that ye should marueile.

²¹For likewise as the Father rayseth vp the dead, and quickeneth them, so the Sonne quickeneth whom he will.

²²For the Father iudgeth no man, but hath committed all iudgement vnto the Sonne,

²³Because that all men shoulde honour the Sonne, as they honour the Father: he that honoureth not the Sonne, the same honoureth not the Father, which hath sent him.

²⁴Verely, verely I say vnto you, he that heareth my worde, and beleeueth him that sent me, hath euerlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but hath passed from death vnto life.

²⁵Verely, verely I say vnto you, the houre shall come, and now is, when the dead shall heare the voyce of the Sonne of God: and they that heare it, shall liue.

²⁶For as the Father hath life in himselfe, so likewise hath he giuen to the Sonne to haue life in himselfe,

²⁷And hath giuen him power also to execute iudgement, in that he is the Sonne of man.

²⁸Marueile not at this: for the houre shall come, in the which all that are in the graues, shall heare his voyce.

²⁹And they shall come foorth, that haue done good, vnto ye resurrection of life: but they that haue done euil, vnto the resurrection of condemnation.

³⁰I can doe nothing of mine owne selfe: as I heare, I iudge: and my iudgement is iust, because I seeke not mine owne will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me.

³¹If I should beare witnesse of my selfe, my witnesse were not true.

³²There is another that beareth witnesse of me, and I know that the witnesse, which he beareth of me, is true.

³³Ye sent vnto Iohn, and he bare witnesse vnto the trueth.

³⁴But I receiue not the record of man: neuerthelesse these things I say, that ye might be saued.

³⁵He was a burning, and a shining candle: and ye would for a season haue reioyced in his light.

³⁶But I haue greater witnesse then the witnesse of Iohn: for the workes which the Father hath giuen me to finish, the same workes that I doe, beare witnesse of me, that the Father sent me.
