1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
3 In these lay a great multitude of disabled people, being blind, lame, deformed, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 For [they believed that] an angel went down at specific [kairos] times into the pool, and troubled the water: and whoever then stepped in first after the troubling of the water would be healed of whatever disease he had.

5 And a certain man was there, who had suffered an illness for thirty eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been now a long [chronos] time [in that condition], he said to him, Do you want to be made well?

7 The disabled man answered him, Sir, I have no person, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, someone else steps down before me.
8 Jesus said to him, Rise, take up your bed, and walk.
9 And immediately the man was made well, and took up his bed, and walked: and that day was the Sabbath.
10 The Jews therefore said to the man that was cured, It is the Sabbath day: it is against the law for you to carry [your] bed.
11 He answered them, He that made me well, also said to me, Take up your bed, and walk.
12 Then they asked him, Who is the man that said to you, Take up your bed, and walk?
13 But the man that was healed did not know who it was: for Jesus had slipped away, a crowd being in [that] place.
14 Afterwards Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, See, you have been made well: do not sin any more, lest a worse thing comes to you.
15 The man left, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, who had made him well.
16 And so therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father has been carrying out business up until now, and I am doing my job.
18 Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the Sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, Let me tell you something, The Son can do nothing on his own initiative, unless he sees the Father doing something: for everything He (the Father) does, the Son also carries out in the same way.
20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him everything that He Himself is doing: and He will show him greater works than these, that you might be amazed.
21 For as the Father raises up the dead, and gives life to [them]; even so the Son gives life to whom he wants.
22 For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgement to the Son:
23 That all [men] should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who has sent him.
24 Truly, truly, I say to you, He that hears my word, and believes in him that sent me, has everlasting [zoe] life, and will not come into condemnation; but has passed from death to [zoe] life.
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 that hear will live.
26 For as the Father has [zoe] life in himself; so he has given to the Son to have [zoe] life in himself;
27 And [he] has given him authority to execute judgement also, because he is the Son of man.

28 Don't be surprised at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves will hear his voice,
29 And will come forth; those that have done good, to the resurrection of [zoe] life; and those that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.
30 I cannot do anything out of my own resources: to the degree that I hear, I make judgments: and my judgment is continually right; because I do not strive to fulfill my own desires, but the desires of the Father who has sent me.
31 If I were to vindicate myself, my testimony would not always be true.
32 There is another that vindicates me; and I know that the testimony that he bears concerning me is true.
33 You sent to John, and he bore testimony to the truth.
34 I do not hold to human testimony: but I say this so that you can become saved.
35 He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36 But I have greater vindication than that of John: for the job that the Father has given me to complete, the specific task that I am carrying out, continually vindicates me and proves that the Father has sent me.
37 And the Father himself, having sent me, has vindicated me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen what He looks like.
38 And you do not have his word living inside of you: for you do not believe the one whom he sent.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal [zoe] life: and it is them that testify about me.
40 But you will not come to me, that you might have [zoe] life.
41 I do not receive honor from men.
43 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me: if another [person] should come in his own name, you would receive him.
44 How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that [comes] from God only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] that accuses you, [namely] Moses, in whom you trust.
46 For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
