5:1  After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
5:2  Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Hebrew called Beth-za′tha, which has five porticoes.
5:3  In these lay a multitude of invalids, blind, lame, paralyzed.
5:5  One man was there, who had been ill for thirty-eight years.
5:6  When Jesus saw him and knew that he had been lying there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?”
5:7  The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled, and while I am going another steps down before me.”
5:8  Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your pallet, and walk.”
5:9  And at once the man was healed, and he took up his pallet and walked. Now that day was the sabbath.
5:10  So the Jews said to the man who was cured, “It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for you to carry your pallet.”
5:11  But he answered them, “The man who healed me said to me, ‘Take up your pallet, and walk.’”
5:12  They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your pallet, and walk’?”
5:13  Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place.
5:14  Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse befall you.”
5:15  The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.
5:16  And this was why the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did this on the sabbath.
5:17  But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working still, and I am working.”
5:18  This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God.
5:19  Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, that the Son does likewise.
5:20  For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all that he himself is doing; and greater works than these will he show him, that you may marvel.
5:21  For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.
5:22  The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,
5:23  that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
5:24  Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
5:25  “Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
5:26  For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself,
5:27  and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.
5:28  Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
5:29  and come forth, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
5:30  “I can do nothing on my own authority; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
5:31  If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true;
5:32  there is another who bears witness to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is true.
5:33  You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
5:34  Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved.
5:35  He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
5:36  But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has granted me to accomplish, these very works which I am doing, bear me witness that the Father has sent me.
5:37  And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness to me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen;
5:38  and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent.
5:39  You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me;
5:40  yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.
5:41  I do not receive glory from men.
5:42  But I know that you have not the love of God within you.
5:43  I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.
5:44  How can you believe, who receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
5:45  Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; it is Moses who accuses you, on whom you set your hope.
5:46  If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me.
5:47  But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
