John 5:2-22 in English

² Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches.

³ In these lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, withered.

⁵ And a certain man was there, who had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity.

⁶ When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wouldest thou be made whole?

⁷ The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

⁸ Jesus saith unto him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.

⁹ And straightway the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the sabbath on that day.

¹⁰ So the Jews said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.

¹¹ But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

¹² They asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

¹³ But he that was healed knew not who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place.

¹⁴ Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee.

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

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

¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh even until now, and I work.

¹⁸ For this cause therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only brake the sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

¹⁹ Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner.

²⁰ For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and greater works than these will he show him, that ye may marvel.

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

²² For neither doth the Father judge any man, but he hath given all judgment unto the Son;

² Near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem, there is a pool, which is called Bethesda in Hebrew. It’s surrounded by five covered colonnades.

³ In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water,

⁴ for an angel went down from time to time into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease that person had.

⁵ A certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.

⁶ When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been sick for a long time, He asked him, “Do you want to be made well?”

⁷ The sick man answered, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.”

⁸ Jesus told him, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk.”

⁹ Immediately, the man was made well, took up his mat, and walked. That was on the Sabbath day.

¹⁰ Therefore the Jews were telling him who was cured, “It’s the Sabbath, and it isn’t legal for you to carry your mat.”

¹¹ He answered them, “He who made me well told me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”

¹² Then they asked him, “Who told you to ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”

¹³ The man who had been healed didn’t know who it was, because Jesus had disappeared into the crowd.

¹⁴ Later, Jesus found him in the temple and told him, “See, you have been made well! Don’t sin any more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”

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

¹⁶ For this reason, the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.

¹⁷ Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”

¹⁸ Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

¹⁹ Then Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless He sees the Father do it, for whatever He does, the Son does likewise.

²⁰ The Father loves the Son, and shows Him everything that He Himself does. He will show Him even greater works than these, that you may marvel.

²¹ As the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whoever He wishes.

²² The Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,

² Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

³ In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

⁴ For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

⁵ And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

⁶ When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

⁷ The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

⁸ Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

⁹ And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

¹⁰ The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

¹¹ He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

¹² Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

¹³ And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

¹⁴ Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

¹⁵ The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

¹⁶ And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

¹⁸ Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

¹⁹ Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

²⁰ For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

²¹ For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

²² For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

²² For neither doth the Father judge any man, but he hath given all judgment unto the Son;

² At one of the gates into the city called the Sheep Gate, there is a pool. In our language we call it Bethzatha. Around the pool were five open areas with roofs over them.

³ Many people were lying there. They were people who were blind, lame, or paralyzed.

⁵ One of those who was there had been paralyzed for thirty-eight years.

⁶ Jesus saw him lying there and found out that the man had been like that for a long time. He said to the man, “Do you want to become well?”

⁷ The paralyzed man replied to him, “ Yes, sir, I want to get well, but there is no one to help me get down into the pool when the water is stirred {stirs}. While I am trying to get to the pool, someone else always gets there before me.”

⁸ Jesus said to him, “Get up! Then pick up your mat and walk!”

⁹ The man immediately was healed. He picked up his mat and started walking! The day on which this happened was a Jewish day of rest.

¹⁰ So the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, “Today is ◄the Sabbath/our rest day►, and in our Jewish laws it is written that people should not work on our ◄ Sabbath/rest day►, so you should not be carrying your mat!”

¹¹ The man replied to them, “The man who healed me, he himself said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk!’”

¹² They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick it up and walk!’?”

¹³ But since Jesus had disappeared in the crowd without telling the man his name, the man did not know who it was who had healed him.

¹⁴ Later, Jesus found the man in the Temple courtyard. He told the man his name, and said to him, “Listen! You are healed! So stop sinning! If you do not stop sinning, something will happen to you that will be worse than the illness you had before!”

¹⁵ The man went away and told the Jewish leaders SYN that it was Jesus who had healed him.

¹⁶ So the Jewish leaders SYN started to harass Jesus, because Jesus was doing these things ◄on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day►.

¹⁷ Then Jesus replied to them, “My Father has always been working every day, including ◄ the Sabbath/the day of rest►, up until now. I am doing the same thing!”

¹⁸ The Jewish leaders SYN considered that he was disobeying their rules about ◄the Sabbath/the day of rest►, and that by saying that God was his Father, he was making himself equal with God. And they considered that both these things were grounds for killing him. So they tried even harder to find a way to kill him.

¹⁹ Jesus replied to them by saying, “You need to know this: I can do nothing by my own authority. I do only the kind of things that I see my Father doing. Whatever kinds of things my Father is doing, those are the things I am doing.

²⁰ My Father loves me, and he shows me everything that he is doing. He will show me the miracles that he wants me to do that will be greater than the ones that you have already seen me do, so that you may be amazed.

²¹ For example, just like my Father causes people who have died to become alive again, I will give eternal life to everyone that I want to.

²² Furthermore, my Father is not the one who judges people concerning their sins. Instead, he has given to me the work of judging people,

² Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches.

³ In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;

⁴ for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.

⁵ A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

⁶ When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to be made well?”

⁷ The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.”

⁸ Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”

⁹ Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.

¹⁰ So the Jews said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”

¹¹ He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”

¹² Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”

¹³ But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.

¹⁴ Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”

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

¹⁶ For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.

² Now in Jerusalem near the sheep-market there is a public bath which in Hebrew is named Beth-zatha. It has five doorways.

³ In these doorways there were a great number of people with different diseases: some unable to see, some without the power of walking, some with wasted bodies.

⁵ One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.

⁶ When Jesus saw him there on the floor it was clear to him that he had been now a long time in that condition, and so he said to the man, Is it your desire to get well?

⁷ The ill man said in answer, Sir, I have nobody to put me into the bath when the water is moving; and while I am on the way down some other person gets in before me.

⁸ Jesus said to him, Get up, take your bed and go.

⁹ And the man became well straight away, and took up his bed and went. Now that day was the Sabbath.

¹⁰ So the Jews said to the man who had been made well, It is the Sabbath; and it is against the law for you to take up your bed.

¹¹ He said to them, But he who made me well, said to me, Take up your bed and go.

¹² Then they put to him the question: Who is the man who said to you, Take it up and go?

¹³ Now he who had been made well had no knowledge who it was, Jesus having gone away because of the number of people who were in that place.

¹⁴ After a time Jesus came across him in the Temple and said to him, See, you are well and strong; do no more sin for fear a worse thing comes to you.

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

¹⁶ And for this reason the Jews were turned against Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.

¹⁷ But his answer was: My Father is still working even now, and so I am working.

¹⁸ For this cause the Jews had an even greater desire to put Jesus to death, because not only did he not keep the Sabbath but he said God was his Father, so making himself equal with God.

¹⁹ So Jesus made answer and said, Truly I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything himself; he is able to do only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does the Son does it in the same way.

²⁰ For the Father has love for the Son and lets him see everything which he does: and he will let him see greater works than these so that you may be full of wonder.

²¹ In the same way, as the Father gives life to the dead, even so the Son gives life to those to whom he is pleased to give it.

²² The Father is not the judge of men, but he has given all decisions into the hands of the Son;

² Now there is in Jerusalem, at the sheepgate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.

³ In these lay a multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, awaiting the moving of the water.

⁴ For an angel descended at a certain season in the pool and troubled the water. Whoever therefore first went in after the troubling of the water became well, whatever disease he laboured under.

⁵ But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years.

⁶ Jesus seeing this man lying there, and knowing that he was in that state now a great length of time, says to him, Wouldest thou become well?

⁷ The infirm man answered him, Sir, I have not a man, in order, when the water has been troubled, to cast me into the pool; but while I am coming another descends before me.

⁸ Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy couch and walk.

⁹ And immediately the man became well, and took up his couch and walked: and on that day was sabbath.

¹⁰ The Jews therefore said to the healed man, It is sabbath, it is not permitted thee to take up thy couch.

¹¹ He answered them, He that made me well, he said to me, Take up thy couch and walk.

¹² They asked him therefore, Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy couch and walk?

¹³ But he that had been healed knew not who it was, for Jesus had slidden away, there being a crowd in the place.

¹⁴ After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art become well: sin no more, that something worse do not happen to thee.

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

¹⁶ And for this the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on sabbath.

¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto and I work.

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

¹⁹ Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself save whatever he sees the Father doing: for whatever things he does, these things also the Son does in like manner.

²⁰ For the Father loves the Son and shews him all things which he himself does; and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may wonder.

²¹ For even as the Father raises the dead and quickens them, thus the Son also quickens whom he will:

²² for neither does the Father judge any one, but has given all judgment to the Son;

² Now there is at Jerusalem a pond, called Probatica, which in Hebrew is named Bethsaida, having five porches.

³ In these lay a great multitude of sick, of blind, of lame, of withered; waiting for the moving of the water.

⁴ And an angel of the Lord descended at certain times into the pond; and the water was moved. And he that went down first into the pond after the motion of the water, was made whole, of whatsoever infirmity he lay under.

⁵ And there was a certain man there, that had been eight and thirty years under his infirmity.

⁶ Him when Jesus had seen lying, and knew that he had been now a long time, he saith to him: Wilt thou be made whole?

⁷ The infirm man answered him: Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pond. For whilst I am coming, another goeth down before me.

⁸ Jesus saith to him: Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.

⁹ And immediately the man was made whole: and he took up his bed, and walked. And it was the sabbath that day.

¹⁰ The Jews therefore said to him that was healed: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.

¹¹ He answered them: He that made me whole, he said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

¹² They asked him therefore: Who is that man who said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

¹³ But he who was healed, knew not who it was; for Jesus went aside from the multitude standing in the place.

¹⁴ Afterwards, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and saith to him: Behold thou art made whole: sin no more, lest some worse thing happen to thee.

¹⁵ The man went his way, and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole.

¹⁶ Therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.

¹⁷ But Jesus answered them: My Father worketh until now; and I work.

¹⁸ Hereupon therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he did not only break the sabbath, but also said God was his Father, making himself equal to God.

¹⁹ Then Jesus answered, and said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you, the Son cannot do any thing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doth, these the Son also doth in like manner.

²⁰ For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which himself doth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that you may wonder.

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

²² For neither doth the Father judge any man, but hath given all judgment to the Son.

² Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.

³ In these porches were lying a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water.

⁴ For an angel from time to time descended into the pool and stirred up the water; therefore the first one having gone in after the stirring up of the water, became well of whatever disease he was suffering from.

⁵ Now there was a certain man there who had an ailment for thirty-eight years.

⁶ When Jesus saw this man lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you wish to become well?”

⁷ The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I do not have a man, so that whenever the water is stirred up, he may put me into the pool; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”

⁸ Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your bed and walk.”

⁹ And immediately the man became well, and took up his bed, and began to walk. And that day was the Sabbath.

¹⁰ Therefore the Jews said to the man who was healed, “It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.”

¹¹ He answered them, “He that made me whole, He said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.’ ”

¹² Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?”

¹³ But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had turned aside, while a crowd was in that place.

¹⁴ After these things Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “Behold, you have become well. Sin no more, lest something worse happens to you.”

¹⁵ The man went away and reported to the Jews that Jesus was the One who had made him well.

¹⁶ And on account of this the Jews began to persecute Jesus, and were seeking to kill Him, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.

¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I am working.”

¹⁸ Because of this the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but also He called God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

¹⁹ Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father doing; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

²⁰ For the Father loves the Son, and shows to Him all things which He Himself does; and greater works than these He will show Him, so that you may marvel.

²¹ For as the Father raises up the dead and gives life, thus also the Son gives life to whom He wills.

²² For the Father judges no one, but He has committed all judgment to the Son,

² Now in Jerusalem, by the Sheep Gate, there is a pool called Bethesda, in Hebrew, which has five porches.

³ In them a large number of sick people were lying—blind, lame, paralyzed—waiting for the moving of the water;

⁴ because an angel would go down from time to time into the pool and stir up the water—then the first one to get in after the stirring of the water became well of whatever disease that was holding him.

⁵ Now there was a certain man there who had been sick for 38 years.

⁶ Seeing this man lying there and knowing that he had already been sick a long time, Jesus says to him, “Do you want to get well?”

⁷ The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to throw me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming another gets in before me.”

⁸ Jesus says to him, “Get up, pick up your pallet and walk!”

⁹ Immediately the man became well and picked up his pallet and started to walk!

¹⁰ But that day was a Sabbath, so the Jews said to the one who had been healed: “It's the Sabbath! You aren't allowed to carry the pallet.”

¹¹ He answered them: “The one who made me well—He said to me, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk.’ ”

¹² So they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk’?”

¹³ But the man who was cured did not know who it was, because Jesus had disappeared, there being a crowd in the place.

¹⁴ After these things Jesus found him in the temple and said to him: “See, you are well. Don't sin any more, so that something worse doesn't happen to you.”

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

¹⁶ So because of this the Jews began persecuting Jesus and trying to kill Him, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.

¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, “Until now, my Father works, I also work.”

¹⁸ So because of this they wanted to kill Him all the more, because He was not only breaking the Sabbath but was even saying that God was His own Father, making Himself equal with God!

¹⁹ Then Jesus answered and said to them: “Most assuredly I say to you, the Son is not able to do anything from Himself, except something He sees the Father doing; because whatever things He does, precisely these the Son also does.

²⁰ For the Father loves the Son and shows Him everything that He Himself is doing; and He will show Him greater works than these, so that you may marvel.

²¹ Now just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, just so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes.

²² In fact the Father does not judge anyone but has committed all the judging to the Son,

² Now near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem is a pool called Bethzatha in Hebrew, with five porches beside it.

³ Crowds of sick people were lying in these porches—those who were blind, lame, or paralyzed.

⁵ One man who was there had been sick for thirty-eight years. Jesus looked at him, knowing he had been lying there for long time, and asked him,

⁶ “Do you want to be healed?”

⁷ “Sir,” the sick man answered, “I don't have anyone to help me get into the pool when the water is stirred. While I'm trying to get there, someone always gets in before me.”

⁸ “Stand up, pick up your mat, and start walking!” Jesus told him.

⁹ Immediately the man was healed. He picked up his mat and started walking. Now the day that this happened was the Sabbath.

¹⁰ So the Jews said to the man who'd been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It's against the law to carry a mat!”

¹¹ “The man who healed me told me to pick up my mat and start walking,” he replied.

¹² “Who's this person who told you to carry your mat and walk?” they asked.

¹³ However, the man who'd been healed didn't know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the surrounding crowd.

¹⁴ Later on Jesus found the man in the Temple, and told him, “Look, now you've been healed. So stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.”

¹⁵ The man went and told the Jews it was Jesus who had healed him.

¹⁶ So the Jews started to harass Jesus because he was doing things on the Sabbath.

¹⁷ But Jesus told them, “My Father is still working, and so am I.”

¹⁸ This was why the Jews tried even harder to kill him, for not only did he break the Sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God.

¹⁹ Jesus explained to them, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can only do what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does the Son does as well.

²⁰ For the Father loves the Son, and reveals to him everything he does; and the Father will show to him even more incredible things that will completely amaze you.

²¹ For just as the Father gives life to those he resurrects from the dead, in the same way the Son also gives life to those that he wants.

²² The Father judges no one. He has given to the Son all the authority to judge,

² And there is at Hierusalem by the place of the sheepe, a poole called in Ebrew Bethesda, hauing fiue porches:

³ In the which lay a great multitude of sicke folke, of blinde, halte, and withered, wayting for the mouing of the water.

⁴ For an Angel went downe at a certaine season into the poole, and troubled the water: whosoeuer then first, after the stirring of the water, stepped in, was made whole of whatsoeuer disease he had.

⁵ And a certaine man was there, which had bene diseased eight and thirtie yeeres.

⁶ When Iesus sawe him lie, and knew that he nowe long time had bene diseased, he saide vnto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

⁷ The sicke man answered him, Sir, I haue no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the poole: but while I am comming, another steppeth downe before me.

⁸ Iesus said vnto him, Rise: take vp thy bed, and walke.

⁹ And immediatly the man was made whole, and tooke vp his bed, and walked: and the same day was the Sabbath.

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

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

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

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

¹⁴ And 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.

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

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

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

¹⁸ Therefore 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.

¹⁹ Then 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.

²⁰ For 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.

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

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

² Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

³ In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

⁴ For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in, was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

⁵ And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

⁶ When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

⁷ The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

⁸ Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

⁹ And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

¹⁰ The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

¹¹ He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

¹² Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

¹³ And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

¹⁴ Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

¹⁵ The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

¹⁶ And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

¹⁸ Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

¹⁹ Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

²⁰ For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

²¹ For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

²² For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

² Now there is at Jerusalem, by the sheep-gate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethzatha, having five porches.

³ In these were lying a multitude of diseased persons, blind, lame, withered.

⁵ And a certain man was there, who had had his infirmity thirty-eight years.

⁶ Jesus saw this man lying there, and knowing that he had been for a long time diseased, saith to him, Dost thou wish to be made well?

⁷ The diseased man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool; but while I am coming, another goeth down before me.

⁸ Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

⁹ And immediately the man was made well, and took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the sabbath.

¹⁰ The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath; and it is not lawful for thee to take up the bed.

¹¹ He answered them, He that made me well, the same said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk. T

¹² hey asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up, and walk?

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁸ On 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.

¹⁹ Then 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;

²⁰ for 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.

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

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

² There is in Jerusalem, near the sheep-gate, a bath with five colonnades around it. It is called in Hebrew ‘Bethesda.’

³ In these colonnades a large number of sick people were lying — blind, lame, and crippled.

⁵ One man who was there had been crippled for thirty-eight years.

⁶ Jesus saw the man lying there, and, finding that he had been in this state a long time, said to him, “Do you wish to be cured?”

⁷ “I have no one, Sir,” the sick man answered, “to put me into the bath when there is a troubling of the water, and, while I am getting to it, someone else steps down before me.”

⁸ “Stand up,” said Jesus, “take up your mat, and walk.”

⁹ The man was cured immediately, and took up his mat and began walking.

¹⁰ Now it was the Sabbath. So the religious authorities said to the man who had been cured, “This is the Sabbath; you must not carry your mat.”

¹¹ “The man who cured me,” he answered, “said to me ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”

¹² “Who was it,” they asked, “that said to you ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”

¹³ But the man who had been restored did not know who it was; for Jesus had moved away, because there was a crowd there.

¹⁴ Afterward Jesus found the man in the Temple Courts, and said to him, “You are cured now; do not sin again, or something worse may happen to you.”

¹⁵ The man went away, and told the authorities that it was Jesus who had cured him.

¹⁶ And that was why they began to persecute Jesus — because he did things of this kind on the Sabbath.

¹⁷ But Jesus replied, “My Father works to this very hour, and I work also.”

¹⁸ This made the authorities all the more eager to kill him, because not only was he doing away with the Sabbath, but he actually called God his own Father — putting himself on an equality with God.

¹⁹ So Jesus made this further reply, “In truth I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself; he does only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does, the Son does also.

²⁰ For the Father loves his Son, and shows him everything that he is doing; and he will show him still greater things — so that you will be filled with wonder.

² Now in Jerusalem City of peace by the sheep gate, there is a pool with five pourches, which is called in Hebrew Immigrant, “Bethesda House of mercy”.

³ In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;

⁴ for an angel went down at certain times into the pool, and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.

⁵ A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

⁶ When Yeshua Salvation saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to be made well?”

⁷ The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.”

⁸ Yeshua Salvation said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”

⁹ Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath ·To cease· on that day.

¹⁰ So the Jews Praisers said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath ·To cease·! It is against Torah ·Teaching· for you to carry your mat!”

¹¹ He answered them, “He who made me well, the same said to me, ‘Take up your mat, and walk.’”

¹² Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat, and walk’?”

¹³ But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Yeshua Salvation had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.

¹⁴ Afterward Yeshua Salvation found him in the temple, and said to him, “Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”

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

¹⁶ For this cause the Jews Praisers persecuted Yeshua Salvation, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath ·To cease·.

¹⁷ But Yeshua Salvation answered them, “ 'Avi My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”

¹⁸ For this cause therefore the Jews Praisers sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath ·To cease·, but also called God 'Aviv ·his Father·, making himself equal with God.

¹⁹ Yeshua Salvation therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees Abba ·Father· doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.

²⁰ For Abba ·Father· has phileo ·affectionate love, high regard· for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

⁷ The sicke answered him: Syr I have no man when the water is troubled to put me into the pole. But in the meane tyme whill I am about to come another steppeth doune before me.

⁸ And Iesus sayde vnto him: ryse take vp thy beed and walke.

⁹ And immediatly the man was made whole and toke vp his beed and went. And the same daye was the Saboth daye.

¹⁰ The Iewes therfore sayde vnto him that was made whole. It is the Saboth daye it is not laufull for the to cary thy beed.

¹⁶ And therfore the Iewes dyd persecute Iesus and sought the meanes to slee him because he had done these thinges on the Saboth daye.

² Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda, and it has five roofed porches.

³ A large number of people who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed were lying there.

⁵ A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

⁶ When Jesus saw him lying there, and after he realized that he had been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healthy?”

⁷ The sick man replied, “Sir, I do not have anyone to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. When I come, another steps down before me.”

⁸ Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.”

⁹ Immediately the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.

¹⁰ So the Jews said to him who was healed, “It is the Sabbath and you are not permitted to carry your mat.”

¹¹ He replied, “He who made me healthy said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.'”

¹² They asked him, “Who is the man that said to you, 'Pick it up and walk'?”

¹³ However, the one who was healed did not know who it was because Jesus had gone away secretly, for there was a crowd in the place.

¹⁴ Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you have become healthy! Do not sin anymore, so that something worse will not happen to you.”

¹⁵ The man went away and reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him healthy.

¹⁶ Now because of these things the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath.

¹⁷ Jesus replied to them, “My Father is working even now, and I, too, am working.”

¹⁸ Because of this, the Jews sought even 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 answered them, “Truly, truly, the Son can do nothing of himself, except only what he sees the Father doing, for whatever the Father is doing, the Son does these things also.

²² For the Father judgeth no man; but hath committed all judgment to the Son:

² Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches.

³ In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;

⁴ for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.

⁵ A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

⁶ When Yeshua saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to be made well?”

⁷ The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.”

⁸ Yeshua said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”

⁹ Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.

¹⁰ So the Judeans said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”

¹¹ He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”

¹² Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”

¹³ But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Yeshua had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.

¹⁴ Afterward Yeshua found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”

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

¹⁶ For this cause the Judeans persecuted Yeshua and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.

¹⁷ But Yeshua answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”

¹⁸ For this cause therefore the Judeans sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

¹⁹ Yeshua therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.

²⁰ For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

² And in Jerusalem is a washing place, that in Hebrew is called Bethesda, and hath five porches. Forsooth at Jerusalem is a standing water of beasts, that in Hebrew is called Bethesda, having five little gates, or entries.

³ In these lay a great multitude of sick men, blind, crooked, and dry, abiding the moving or the stirring of the water.

⁴ For the angel of the Lord came down certain times into the standing water, and the water was moved; and he that first came down into the cistern, after the moving of the water, was made whole of whatever sickness he was held.

⁵ And a man was there, having eight and thirty years in his sickness.

⁶ And when Jesus had seen him lying, and had known, that he had much time, he saith to him, Wilt thou be made whole?

⁷ The sick man answered to him, Lord, I have no man, that when the water is moved or troubled, to put me into the cistern; for while I come, another goeth down before me.

⁸ Jesus saith to him, Rise up, take thy bed, and go.

⁹ And anon the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and went forth. And it was sabbath in that day.

¹⁰ Therefore the Jews said to him that was made whole, It is sabbath, it is not leaveful to thee, to take away thy bed.

¹¹ He answered to them, He that made me whole, said to me, Take thy bed, and go.

¹² Therefore they asked him, What man is that or Who is that man, that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and go?

¹³ But he that was made whole, wist not who it was. And Jesus bowed away from the people, that was set in the place.

¹⁴ Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Lo! thou art made whole; now do not thou do sin or now do not thou sin, lest any worse thing befall to thee.

¹⁵ That man went, and told to the Jews, that it was Jesus that made him whole.

¹⁶ Therefore the Jews pursued Jesus, for he did this thing in the sabbath.

¹⁷ And Jesus answered to them, My Father worketh till now, and I work.

¹⁸ Therefore the Jews sought more to slay him, for not only he brake the sabbath, but he said that God was his Father, and made him even to God.

¹⁹ Therefore Jesus answered, and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son may not of himself do anything, but that thing that he seeth the Father doing; for whatever things he doeth, the Son doeth in like manner those things.

²⁰ For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth to him all things that he doeth; and he shall show to him greater works than these, that ye wonder.

² And in Jerusalem is a washing place (or a pool), that in Hebrew is called Bethesda, and (it) hath five porches. Forsooth at Jerusalem is a standing water of beasts (or a watering pool for beasts), that in Hebrew is called Bethesda, having five little gates, or entries.

³ In these lay a great multitude of sick men, blind, crooked (or lame), and dry (or withered), abiding (or waiting for) the moving or the stirring of the water.

⁴ For the angel of the Lord came down (at) certain times into the standing water (or into the pool), and the water was moved; and he that first came down into the cistern, after the moving of the water, was made whole (or was healed) of whatever sickness he was held (by).

⁵ And a man was there, having eight and thirty years in his sickness.

⁶ And when Jesus had seen him lying (there), and had known, that he had much time (there), he saith to him, Wilt thou be made whole?

⁷ The sick man answered to him, Lord, I have no man, (so) that when the water is moved or (it) is troubled, to put me into the cistern (or into the pool); for while I come, another goeth down before me.

⁸ Jesus saith to him, Rise up, take thy bed, and go. (Jesus said to him, Get up, pick up thy bed, and go.)

⁹ And anon the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and went forth. And it was sabbath in that day. (And at once the man was healed, and picked up his bed, and went forth. And that day was the Sabbath.)

¹⁰ Therefore the Jews said to him that was made whole, It is (the) sabbath, it is not leaveful to thee, to take away thy bed. (And so the Jews said to him who was healed, It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.)

¹¹ He answered to them, He that made me whole, said to me, Take (up) thy bed, and go. (He answered to them, He who healed me, said to me, Pick up thy bed, and go.)

¹² Therefore they asked him, What man is that or Who is that man, that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and go? (or Who said to thee, Pick up thy bed, and go?)

¹³ But he that was made whole, wist not who it was, (or But he who was healed, did not know who it was). And Jesus (had) bowed away from the people, that was set in the place.

¹⁴ Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Lo! thou art made whole, (or Behold! thou art healed); now do not thou do sin or now do not thou sin, lest any worse thing befall to thee.

¹⁵ (Then) That man went, and told to the Jews, that it was Jesus that made him whole.

¹⁶ Therefore the Jews pursued Jesus, for he did this thing in the sabbath. (And so the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did this miracle on the Sabbath.)

¹⁷ And Jesus answered to them, My Father worketh till now, and I work.

¹⁸ Therefore the Jews sought more to slay him, for not only he brake the sabbath, but he said that God was his Father, and made him(self) even (or equal) to God.

¹⁹ Therefore Jesus answered, and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, (or Truly, I tell you the truth), the Son may not of himself do anything, no but that thing that he seeth the Father doing; for whatever things he doeth, the Son doeth in like manner those things.

²⁰ For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth to him all (the) things that he doeth; and he shall show to him greater works than these, (so) that ye wonder.

²¹ For as the Father raiseth dead men, and quickeneth (them), so the Son quickeneth whom he will. (For as the Father raiseth the dead, and giveth them life, so the Son giveth life to whomever he desireth.)

² And in Jerusalem is a waissynge place, that in Ebrew is named Bethsaida, and hath fyue porchis.

³ In these lay a greet multitude of sike men, blynde, crokid, and drie, abidynge the mouyng of the watir.

⁴ For the aungel `of the Lord cam doun certeyne tymes in to the watir, and the watir was moued; and he that first cam doun in to the sisterne, aftir the mouynge of the watir, was maad hool of what euer sijknesse he was holdun.

⁵ And a man was there, hauynge eiyte and thritti yeer in his sikenesse.

⁶ And whanne Jhesus hadde seyn hym liggynge, and hadde knowun, that he hadde myche tyme, he seith to hym, Wolt thou be maad hool?

⁷ The sijk man answerde to hym, Lord, Y haue no man, that whanne the watir is moued, to putte me `in to the cisterne; for the while Y come, anothir goith doun bifor me.

⁸ Jhesus seith to hym, Rise vp, take thi bed, and go.

⁹ And anoon the man was maad hool, and took vp his bed, and wente forth. And it was sabat in that dai.

¹⁰ Therfor the Jewis seiden to him that was maad hool, It is sabat, it is not leueful to thee, to take awei thi bed.

¹¹ He answeride to hem, He that made me hool, seide to me, Take thi bed, and go.

¹² Therfor thei axiden him, What man `is that, that seide to thee, Take vp thi bed, and go?

¹³ But he that was maad hool, wiste not who it was. And Jhesus bowide awei fro the puple, that was set in the place.

¹⁴ Aftirward Jhesus foond hym in the temple, and seide to hym, Lo! thou art maad hool; now nyle thou do synne, lest any worse thing bifalle to thee.

¹⁵ Thilke man wente, and telde to the Jewis, that it was Jhesu that made hym hool.

¹⁶ Therfor the Jewis pursueden Jhesu, for he dide this thing in the sabat.

¹⁷ And Jhesus answeride to hem, My fadir worchith til now, and Y worche.

¹⁸ Therfor the Jewis souyten more to sle hym, for not oneli he brak the sabat, but he seide that God was his fadir, and made hym euene to God.

¹⁹ Therfor Jhesus answerde, and seide to hem, Treuli, treuli, Y seye to you, the sone may not of hym silf do ony thing, but that thing that he seeth the fadir doynge; for what euere thingis he doith, the sone doith in lijk maner tho thingis.

²⁰ For the fadir loueth the sone, and schewith to hym alle thingis that he doith; and he schal schewe to hym grettere werkis than these, that ye wondren.

²¹ For as the fadir reisith deed men, and quykeneth, so the sone quykeneth whom he wole.

²² For nethir the fadir iugith ony man, but hath youun ech doom to the sone,

² and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep -gate a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches,

³ in these were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water,

⁴ for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.

⁵ and there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty and eight years,

⁶ him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, he saith to him, 'Dost thou wish to become whole?'

⁷ The ailing man answered him, 'Sir, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another doth go down before me.'

⁸ Jesus saith to him, 'Rise, take up thy couch, and be walking;'

⁹ and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day,

¹⁰ the Jews then said to him that hath been healed, 'It is a sabbath; it is not lawful to thee to take up the couch.'

¹¹ He answered them, 'He who made me whole — that one said to me, Take up thy couch, and be walking;'

¹² they questioned him, then, 'Who is the man who is saying to thee, Take up thy couch and be walking?'

¹³ But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place.

¹⁴ After these things, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, 'Lo, thou hast become whole; sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.'

¹⁵ The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole,

¹⁶ and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath.

¹⁷ And Jesus answered them, 'My Father till now doth work, and I work;'

¹⁸ because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

¹⁹ Jesus therefore responded and said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth;

²⁰ for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder.

²¹ 'For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth;

²² for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son,
