Jesus Heals at the Pool of Bethesda
After these things was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
After these things was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
The Healing at the Pool on the Sabbath
After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Now there is in Jerusalem, at the sheepgate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.
In these lay a multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, [awaiting the moving of the water.
But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years.
One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
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?
When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?”
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.
The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.”
Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy couch and walk.
Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.”
And immediately the man became well, and took up his couch and walked: and on that day was sabbath.
And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked.
Now that day was the Sabbath.
Now that day was the Sabbath.
The Jews therefore said to the healed [man], It is sabbath, it is not permitted thee to take up thy couch.
He answered them, He that made me well, *he* said to me, Take up thy couch and walk.
But he answered them, “The man who healed me, that man said to me, ‘Take up your bed, and walk.’”
They asked him [therefore], Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy couch and walk?
They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?”
But he that had been healed knew not who it was, for Jesus had slidden away, there being a crowd in the place.
Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place.
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.
Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you.”
The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.
The Father and the Son
And for this the Jews persecuted Jesus [and sought to kill him], because he had done these things on sabbath.
And for this the Jews persecuted Jesus [and sought to kill him], because he had done these things on sabbath.
And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto and I work.
But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”
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.
Jesus Is Equal with God
This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
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.
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.
For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel.
For even as the Father raises the dead and quickens [them], thus the Son also quickens whom he will:
For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.
for neither does the Father judge any one, but has given all judgment to the Son;
For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,
that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who honours not the Son, honours not the Father who has sent him.
that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, that he that hears my word, and believes him that has sent me, has life eternal, and does not come into judgment, but is passed out of death into life.
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever 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.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that have heard shall live.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son also to have life in himself,
For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.
and has given him authority to execute judgment [also], because he is Son of man.
And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
Wonder not at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice,
Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
and shall go forth; those that have practised good, to resurrection of life, and those that have done evil, to resurrection of judgment.
and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
I cannot do anything of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek my will, but the will of him that has sent me.
