John 5
Book: John
A PARALYTIC IS HEALED
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, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the waters stepped in was made whole, with whatsoever disease he was holden.
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.
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.
13 But he that was healed knew not who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place.
EQUAL WITH GOD
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.”
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.
THE AUTHORITY OF THE SON
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.”
23 “that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father that sent him.”
24 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment, but hath passed out of death into life.”
25 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live.”
26 “For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself:”
28 “Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,”
29 “and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.”
30 “I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.”
FURTHER TESTIMONY ABOUT THE SON
32 “It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.”
34 “But the witness which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved.”
35 “He was the lamp that burneth and shineth; and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.”
36 “But the witness which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.”
37 “And the Father that sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.”
39 “Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me;”
43 “I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.”
44 “How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and the glory that cometh from the only God ye seek not?”
