John 5:5-29

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

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

⁷The 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁴Afterwards, 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.

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

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

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

¹⁸Hereupon 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.

¹⁹Then 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.

²⁰For 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.

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

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

²³That all men may honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father, who hath sent him.

²⁴Amen, amen I say unto you, that he who heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath life everlasting; and cometh not into judgment, but is passed from death to life.

²⁵Amen, amen I say unto you, that the hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live.

²⁶For as the Father hath life in himself, so he hath given the Son also to have life in himself:

²⁷And he hath given him power to do judgment, because he is the Son of man.

²⁸Wonder not at this; for the hour cometh, wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God.

²⁹And they that have done good things, shall come forth unto the resurrection of life; but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.
