KJ3 Literal Translation
John 5
1 Jesus cures a man diseased thirty eight years on the sabbath. 10 The Jews persecute Him for it. 17 He answers for Himself by the testimony of His Father, 32 of John, 36 of His works, 39 of the scriptures, who He is.
1After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2And in Jerusalem is a pool at the Sheep Gate, the one called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.
3In these was a great multitude of the ones being infirm lying, blind ones, lame ones, withered ones, awaiting the stirring of the water.
4For an angel at a certain time descended in the pool and agitated the water. Therefore the one first entering after the agitation of the water became well, whatever disease he was held by.
5But a certain man was there, having been in infirmity thirty-eight years.
6Jesus, seeing this one lying, and knowing that he had already spent much time, He said to him, Do you desire to become well?
7The one being infirm answered Him, Lord, I do not have a man, that when the water is agitated he may throw me into the pool; but while I am coming, another goes down before me.
8Jesus said to him, Rise up, Take up your pallet and walk!
9And instantly the man became well, and took up his pallet and walked. And it was a sabbath that day.
10Therefore the Jews said to the one having been healed, It is sabbath. It is not lawful for you to lift up the pallet.
11He answered them, The One making me well, that One said to me, Lift up your pallet and walk.
12Then they asked him, Who is the man who told you, Lift up your pallet and walk?
13But the one having been healed did not know who it is, for a crowd being in that place, Jesus had withdrawn.
14After these things, Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, Behold, you have become well, sin no more that a worse thing not happen to you.
15The man went away and told the Jews that Jesus is the One making him well.
16And because of this the Jews were persecuting Jesus and were seeking to kill Him, because He did these things on a sabbath.
17But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now, and I work.
18Because of this, therefore, the Jews were seeking the more to kill Him, for not only did He break the sabbath, but also called God His own Father, making Himself equal to God.
19Then Jesus answered and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything from Himself, except what He may see the Father doing; for whatever that One does, these things also the Son does likewise.
20For the Father loves the Son and shows to Him all things which He does. And He will show Him greater works than these in order that you may wonder.
21For even as the Father raises the dead, and makes alive, so also the Son makes alive whom He wills.
22For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,
23so that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. The one not honoring the Son does not honor the Father who has sent Him.
24Truly, truly, I say to you, The one who hears My Word, and believing the One having sent Me, has everlasting life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
25Truly, truly, I say to you that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead ones will hear the voice of the Son of God, and the ones hearing will live.
26For even as the Father has life in Himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in Himself.
27And He also gave authority to Him to execute judgment, for He is the Son of Man.
28Marvel not at this, for an hour is coming in which all those in the tombs will hear His voice.
29And will come out, the ones having done good things, into a resurrection of life; and the ones having practiced evil things into a resurrection of judgment.
30I am not able to do anything of Myself, nothing! Just as I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My will, but the will of the Father having sent Me.
31If I witness about Myself, My witness is not true;
32it is Another that witnesses about Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses about Me is true.
33You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34But I do not receive witness from man, but I say these things that you may be saved.
35That one was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to exult in his light for an hour.
36But I have the witness greater than the one of John, for the works which the Father has given Me, that I should finish them, the works which I do themselves, witness concerning Me, that the Father has sent Me.
37And the Father, the One having sent Me, has Himself borne witness about Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor have you seen His form.
38And you do not have His Word abiding in you, for the One whom that One sent, this One you do not believe.
39You search the Scriptures, for you think in them you have everlasting life. And they are the ones witnessing concerning Me.
40And you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
41I do not receive glory from men;
42but I have known you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.
43I have come in the name of My Father, and you do not receive Me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive that one.
44How are you able to believe, you who receive glory from one another, and the glory which is from the only God you do not seek?
45Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one accusing you, Moses, in whom you have hoped.
46For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for that one wrote about Me.
47But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?
