John 5

1AfterG3326 thisG3778 there wasG1510 a feastG1859 of the JewsG2453; andG2532 JesusG3588G2424 went upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2414. 2NowG1161 there isG1510 atG1722 JerusalemG3588G2414 byG1909 the sheepG4262 market a poolG2861, which is calledG1951 in the Hebrew tongueG1447 BethesdaG964, havingG2192 fiveG4002 porchesG4745. 3InG1722 theseG3778 layG2621 aG4128 greatG4183 multitudeG4128 of impotent folkG770, of blindG5185, haltG5560, witheredG3584, waiting forG1551 the movingG2796 of the waterG3588G5204. 4ForG1063 an angelG32 went downG2597 at a certainG2596 seasonG2540 intoG1722 the poolG3588G2861, andG2532 troubledG5015 the waterG3588G5204: whosoeverG3588 thenG3767 firstG4413 afterG3326 the troublingG3588G5016 of the waterG3588G5204 stepped inG1684 was madeG1096 wholeG5199 ofG3553 whatsoeverG1221 diseaseG3553 he hadG2722. 5AndG1161 a certainG5100 manG444 wasG1510 thereG1563, which hadG2192 an infirmityG3588G769 thirtyG5144 andG2532 eightG3638 yearsG2094. 6WhenG3708 JesusG3588G2424 sawG3708 himG3778 lieG2621, andG2532 knewG1097 thatG3754 he had beenG2192 nowG2235 a longG4183 timeG5550 in that case, he saithG3004 unto himG846, Wilt thouG2309 be madeG1096 wholeG5199? 7The impotent manG770 answeredG611 himG846, SirG2962, I haveG2192 noG3756 manG444, whenG3752 the waterG3588G5204 is troubledG5015, toG2443 putG906 meG1473 intoG1519 the poolG3588G2861: butG1161 whileG3739 IG1473 am comingG2064, anotherG243 steppeth downG2597 beforeG4253 meG1473. 8JesusG3588G2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, RiseG1453, take upG142 thyG4771 bedG3588G2895, andG2532 walkG4043. 9AndG2532 immediatelyG2112 the manG3588G444 was madeG1096 wholeG5199, andG2532 took upG142 hisG846 bedG3588G2895, andG2532 walkedG4043: andG1161 onG1722 the sameG1565 dayG3588G2250 wasG1510 the sabbathG4521. 10

The JewsG2453 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 unto him that was curedG2323, It isG1510 the sabbath dayG4521: it isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for theeG4771 to carryG142 thy bedG3588G2895. 11He answeredG611 themG846, He that madeG4160 meG1473 wholeG5199, the sameG1565 saidG3004 unto meG1473, Take upG142 thyG4771 bedG3588G2895, andG2532 walkG4043. 12ThenG3767 asked theyG2065 himG846, WhatG5101 manG3588G444 isG1510 that which saidG3004 unto theeG4771, Take upG142 thyG4771 bedG3588G2895, andG2532 walkG4043? 13AndG1161 he that was healedG2390 wistG1492 notG3756 whoG5101 it wasG1510: forG1063 JesusG2424 had conveyed himself awayG1593, a multitudeG3793 beingG1510 inG1722 that placeG3588G5117. 14AfterwardG3326 JesusG3588G2424 findethG2147 himG846 inG1722 the templeG3588G2411, andG2532 saidG3004 unto himG846, BeholdG3708, thou art madeG1096 wholeG5199: sinG264 no moreG3371, lestG2443 a worseG5501 thingG5100 comeG1096 unto theeG4771. 15The manG3588G444 departedG565, andG2532 toldG312 the JewsG2453 thatG3754 it wasG1510 JesusG2424, which had madeG4160 himG846 wholeG5199. 16AndG2532 thereforeG1223 didG1377 the JewsG2453 persecuteG1377 JesusG3588G2424, andG2532 soughtG2212 to slayG615 himG846, becauseG3754 he had doneG4160 these thingsG3778 onG1722 the sabbath dayG4521. 17

ButG1161 JesusG2424 answeredG611 themG846, MyG1473 FatherG3588G3962 workethG2038 hithertoG737, and IG2504 workG2038. 18ThereforeG1223 the JewsG2453 soughtG2212 the moreG3123 to killG615 himG846, becauseG3754 heG3089 notG3756 onlyG3440 had brokenG3089 the sabbathG3588G4521, butG235 saidG3004 alsoG2532 thatG3004 GodG3588G2316 was hisG2398 FatherG3962, makingG4160 himselfG1438 equalG2470 with GodG3588G2316. 19ThenG3767 answeredG611 JesusG3588G2424 andG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG4771, The SonG3588G5207 canG1410 doG4160 nothingG3762 ofG575 himselfG1438, butG3361 whatG5100 he seethG991 the FatherG3588G3962 doG4160: forG1063 what thingsG3739 soeverG302 heG1565 doethG4160, theseG3778 alsoG2532 doethG4160 the SonG3588G5207 likewiseG3668. 20ForG1063 the FatherG3962 lovethG5368 the SonG3588G5207, andG2532 shewethG1166 himG846 all thingsG3956 thatG3739 himselfG846 doethG4160: andG2532 he will shewG1166 himG846 greaterG3173 worksG2041 than theseG3778, thatG2443 yeG4771 may marvelG2296. 21ForG1063 asG5618 the FatherG3588G3962 raiseth upG1453 the deadG3498, andG2532 quickenethG2227 them; evenG2532 soG3779 the SonG3588G5207 quickenethG2227 whomG3739 he willG2309. 22ForG1063 the FatherG3588G3962 judgethG2919 no manG3762, butG235 hath committedG1325 allG3956 judgmentG3588G2920 unto the SonG3588G5207: 23ThatG2443 allG3956 men should honourG5091 the SonG3588G5207, even asG2531 they honourG5091 the FatherG3588G3962. He that honourethG5091 notG3361 the SonG3588G5207 honourethG5091 notG3756 the FatherG3588G3962 which hath sentG3992 himG846. 24VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG4771, He thatG3588 hearethG191 myG1473 wordG3588G3056, andG2532 believethG4100 on him that sentG3992 meG1473, hathG2192 everlastingG166 lifeG2222, andG2532 shallG2064 notG3756 comeG2064 intoG1519 condemnationG2920; butG235 is passedG3327 fromG1537 deathG3588G2288 untoG1519 lifeG3588G2222. 25VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG4771, The hourG5610 is comingG2064, andG2532 nowG3568 isG1510, whenG3753 the deadG3498 shall hearG191 the voiceG3588G5456 of the SonG3588G5207 of GodG3588G2316: andG2532 they that hearG191 shall liveG2198. 26ForG1063 asG5618 the FatherG3588G3962 hathG2192 lifeG2222 inG1722 himselfG1438; soG3779 hath he givenG1325 to the SonG3588G5207 to haveG2192 lifeG2222 inG1722 himselfG1438; 27AndG2532 hath givenG1325 himG846 authorityG1849 to executeG4160 judgmentG2920 alsoG2532, becauseG3754 he isG1510 the SonG5207 of manG444. 28MarvelG2296 notG3361 at thisG3778: forG3754 the hourG5610 is comingG2064, inG1722 the whichG3739 allG3956 that areG3588 inG1722 the gravesG3588G3419 shall hearG191 hisG846 voiceG3588G5456, 29AndG2532 shall come forthG1607; they that have doneG3588G4160 goodG3588G18, untoG1519 the resurrectionG386 of lifeG2222; andG1161 they that have doneG3588G4238 evilG3588G5337, untoG1519 the resurrectionG386 of damnationG2920. 30IG1473 canG1410 ofG575 mine own selfG1683 doG4160 nothingG3756G3762: asG2531 I hearG191, I judgeG2919: andG2532 myG3588G1699 judgmentG3588G2920 isG1510 justG1342; becauseG3754 I seekG2212 notG3756 mine ownG3588G1699 willG3588G2307, butG235 the willG3588G2307 of the FatherG3962 which hath sentG3588G3992 meG1473. 31IfG1437 IG1473 bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 myselfG1683, myG1473 witnessG3588G3141 isG1510 notG3756 trueG227. 32

There isG1510 anotherG243 that beareth witnessG3140 ofG4012 meG1473; andG2532 I knowG1492 thatG3754 the witnessG3588G3141 whichG3739 he witnessethG3140 ofG4012 meG1473 isG1510 trueG227. 33YeG4771 sentG649 untoG4314 JohnG2491, andG2532 he bare witnessG3140 unto the truthG3588G225. 34ButG1161 IG1473 receiveG2983 notG3756 testimonyG3588G3141 fromG3844 manG444: butG235 these thingsG3778 I sayG3004, thatG2443 yeG4771 might be savedG4982. 35HeG1565 wasG1510 aG3588G3088 burningG2545 andG2532 a shiningG5316 lightG3588G3088: andG1161 yeG4771 were willingG2309 forG4314 a seasonG5610 to rejoiceG21 inG1722 hisG846 lightG3588G5457. 36

ButG1161 IG1473 haveG2192 greaterG3173 witnessG3588G3141 thanG3588G2491 that of JohnG3588G2491: forG1063 the worksG2041 whichG3739 the FatherG3588G3962 hath givenG1325 meG1473 toG2443 finishG5048, the sameG846 worksG3588G2041 thatG3739 IG1473 doG4160, bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 meG1473, thatG3754 the FatherG3588G3962 hath sentG649 meG1473. 37AndG2532 the FatherG3962 himselfG846, which hath sentG3992 meG1473, hath borne witnessG3140 ofG4012 meG1473. Ye haveG191 neitherG3777 heardG191 hisG846 voiceG5456 at any timeG4455, norG3777 seenG3708 hisG846 shapeG1491. 38AndG2532 ye haveG2192 notG3756 hisG846 wordG3588G3056 abidingG3306 inG1722 youG4771: forG3754 whomG3739 heG1565 hath sentG649, himG3778 yeG4771 believeG4100 notG3756.

39SearchG2045 the scripturesG3588G1124; forG3754 inG1722 themG846 yeG4771 thinkG1380 ye haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222: andG2532 theyG1565 areG1510 they which testifyG3588G3140 ofG4012 meG1473. 40AndG2532 ye willG2309 notG3756 comeG2064 toG4314 meG1473, thatG2443 ye might haveG2192 lifeG2222. 41I receiveG2983 notG3756 honourG1391 fromG3844 menG444. 42ButG235 I knowG1097 youG4771, thatG3754 ye haveG2192 notG3756 the loveG3588G26 of GodG3588G2316 inG1722 youG1438. 43IG1473 am comeG2064 inG1722 myG1473 Father’sG3588G3962 nameG3588G3686, andG2532 ye receiveG2983 meG1473 notG3756: ifG1437 anotherG243 shall comeG2064 inG1722 his ownG2398 nameG3588G3686, himG1565 ye will receiveG2983. 44HowG4459 canG1410 yeG4771 believeG4100, which receiveG2983 honourG1391 oneG240 ofG3844 anotherG240, andG2532 seekG2212 notG3756 the honourG3588G1391 thatG3588 cometh fromG3844 GodG2316 onlyG3441? 45DoG1380 notG3361 thinkG1380 thatG3754 IG1473 will accuseG2723 youG4771 toG4314 the FatherG3588G3962: there isG1510 one that accusethG2723 youG4771, even MosesG3475, inG1519 whomG3739 yeG4771 trustG1679. 46ForG1063 hadG1487 ye believedG4100 MosesG3475, ye would have believedG4100 meG1473: forG1063 heG1565 wroteG1125 ofG4012 meG1473. 47ButG1161 ifG1487 ye believeG4100 notG3756 hisG1565 writingsG1121, howG4459 shall ye believeG4100 myG1699 wordsG4487?
