John 5 — WBMS
5Verse 1After these things there was a feast day of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.Verse 2And in Jerusalem is a washing place, that in Hebrew is called Bethesda, and hath five porches. [Forsooth at Jerusalem is a standing water of beasts, that in Hebrew is called Bethesda, having five little gates, or entries.]Verse 3In these lay a great multitude of sick men, blind, crooked, and dry, abiding the moving [or the stirring] of the water.Verse 4For the angel of the Lord came down certain times into the [standing] water, and the water was moved; and he that first came down into the cistern, after the moving of the water, was made whole of whatever sickness he was held.Verse 5And a man was there, having eight and thirty years in his sickness.Verse 6And when Jesus had seen him lying, and had known, that he had much time, he saith to him, Wilt thou be made whole?Verse 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.Verse 8Jesus saith to him, Rise up, take thy bed, and go.Verse 9And anon the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and went forth. And it was sabbath in that day.Verse 10Therefore the Jews said to him that was made whole, It is sabbath, it is not leaveful to thee, to take away thy bed.Verse 11He answered to them, He that made me whole, said to me, Take thy bed, and go.Verse 12Therefore they asked him, What man is that [or Who is that man], that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and go?Verse 13But he that was made whole, wist not who it was. And Jesus bowed away from the people, that was set in the place.Verse 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.Verse 15That man went, and told to the Jews, that it was Jesus that made him whole.Verse 16Therefore the Jews pursued Jesus, for he did this thing in the sabbath.Verse 17And Jesus answered to them, My Father worketh till now, and I work.Verse 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.Verse 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.Verse 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.Verse 21For as the Father raiseth dead men, and quickeneth, so the Son quickeneth whom he will.Verse 22For neither the Father judgeth any man, but hath given every doom to the Son,Verse 23that all men honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father that sent him.Verse 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.Verse 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.Verse 26For as the Father hath life in him-self, so he gave to the Son, to have life in himself;Verse 27and he gave to him power to make doom, for he is man’s Son.Verse 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.Verse 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.Verse 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.Verse 31If I bear witnessing of myself, my witnessing is not true;Verse 32another is that beareth witnessing of me, and I know that his witnessing is true, that he beareth of me.Verse 33Ye sent to John, and he bare witnessing to [the] truth.Verse 34But I take not witnessing of man; but I say these things, that ye be safe.Verse 35He was a lantern burning and shining, [or giving light]; but ye would glad, or joy, at an hour in his light.Verse 36But I have more witnessing than John, for the works that my Father gave to me to perform them [or the works that my Father gave me that I perform them], those works that I do bear wit-nessing of me, that the Father sent me.Verse 37And the Father that sent me, he bare witnessing of me. Neither ye heard ever his voice, neither ye saw his likeness, [or form].Verse 38And ye have not his word dwelling in you; for ye believe not to him, whom he sent.Verse 39Seek ye the scriptures, in which ye guess to have everlasting life; and those it be, that bear witnessing of me.Verse 40And ye will not come to me, that ye have life.Verse 41I take not clearness of men;Verse 42but I have known you, that ye have not the love of God in you.Verse 43I came in the name of my Father, and ye took not me. If another come in his own name, ye shall receive him.Verse 44How may ye believe, that receive glory each of other, and ye seek not the glory that is of God alone?Verse 45Do not ye guess, that I am to accuse you with the Father; it is Moses that accuseth you, in whom ye hope.Verse 46For if ye believed to Moses, peradventure ye should believe also to me; for he wrote of me.Verse 47But if ye believe not to his letters, how shall ye believe to my words?
