John 5:5-35

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

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

⁷The 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁴Afterward 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.

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

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

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

¹⁸Therefore 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.

¹⁹Therefore 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.

²⁰For 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.

²¹For as the Father raiseth dead men, and quickeneth, so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

²²For neither the Father judgeth any man, but hath given every doom to the Son,

²³that all men honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father that sent him.

²⁴Truly, truly, I say to you, that he that heareth my word, and believeth in him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and he cometh not into doom, but passeth from death into life.

²⁵Truly, truly, I say to you, for the hour cometh, and now it is, when dead men shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear, shall live.

²⁶For as the Father hath life in him-self, so he gave to the Son, to have life in himself;

²⁷and he gave to him power to make doom, for he is man’s Son.

²⁸Do not ye wonder in this, for the hour cometh, in which all men that be in burials, shall hear the voice of God’s Son.

²⁹And they that have done good things, shall go into again-rising of life; but they that have done evil things, into again-rising of doom.

³⁰I may nothing do of myself, but as I hear, I deem, or I may not of myself do anything, but as I hear, I judge, and my doom is just, for I seek not my will, but the will of the Father that sent me.

³¹If I bear witnessing of myself, my witnessing is not true;

³²another is that beareth witnessing of me, and I know that his witnessing is true, that he beareth of me.

³³Ye sent to John, and he bare witnessing to the truth.

³⁴But I take not witnessing of man; but I say these things, that ye be safe.

³⁵He was a lantern burning and shining, or giving light; but ye would glad, or joy, at an hour in his light.
