John 5:13-24

¹³But the diseased man knew not who it was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being a crowd in the place.

¹⁴Afterwards Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art made well; sin no more, lest something worse befall thee.

¹⁵The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

¹⁶And on this account the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.

¹⁷But he answered them, My Father is working up to this time, and I work.

¹⁸On this account the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.

¹⁹Then answered Jesus and said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing; for whatever He doeth, these things the Son also doeth in like manner;

²⁰for the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things which he himself doeth; and greater works than these will he show him, so that ye will wonder.

²¹For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth them life, so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.

²²For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath committed all judgment to the Son;

²³that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father, who sent him.

²⁴Truly, truly do I say to you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and cometh not into condemnation, but hath passed out of death into life.
