  John chapter 5. After these things there was a
• 0:03
  feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
• 0:06
  Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, a pool which is
• 0:09
  called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porticos.
• 0:13
  In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind,
• 0:16
  lame, and withered, waiting for the moving of the waters.
• 0:19
  For an Angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the
• 0:21
  pool and stirred up the water. Whoever then, first, after the
• 0:24
  stirring up of the water, stepped in, was made well from
• 0:27
  whatever disease with which he was afflicted.
• 0:30
  A man was there who had been ill for 38 years.
• 0:34
  When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already
• 0:36
  been a long time in that condition, he said to him, Do
• 0:40
  you wish to get well? The sick man answered him, Sir,
• 0:43
  I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred
• 0:46
  up, But while I am coming, another steps down before me.
• 0:50
  Jesus said to him, Get up, pick up your pallet and walk.
• 0:54
  Immediately the man became well and picked up his pallet and
• 0:57
  began to walk. Now it was the Sabbath on that
• 1:00
  day. So the Jews were saying to the
• 1:02
  man who was cured, it is the Sabbath and it is not
• 1:05
  permissible for you to carry your pallet.
• 1:07
  But he answered them, He who made me well was the one who
• 1:10
  said to me, pick up your pallet and walk.
• 1:13
  They asked him, Who is the man who said to you, pick up your
• 1:15
  pallet and walk? But the man who was healed did
• 1:17
  not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while there was
• 1:20
  a crowd in that place. Afterward Jesus found him in the
• 1:23
  temple and said to him, Behold, you have become well.
• 1:26
  Do not sin any more, so that nothing worse happens to you.
• 1:30
  The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had
• 1:33
  made him well. For this reason the Jews were
• 1:35
  persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the
• 1:37
  Sabbath. But he answered them, My Father
• 1:40
  is working until now, and I myself am working for this
• 1:44
  reason. Therefore the Jews were seeking
• 1:46
  all the more to kill Him, because He was not, because He
• 1:53
  not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling
• 1:56
  God his own Father, making Himself equal with God.
• 1:59
  Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, Truly, truly, I
• 2:03
  say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself unless it is
• 2:06
  something He sees the Father doing.
• 2:08
  For whatever the Father does these things the Son also does
• 2:11
  in like manner. For the Father loves the Son and
• 2:14
  shows him all things that He Himself is doing, and the Father
• 2:17
  will show him greater works than these, so that you will marvel.
• 2:21
  For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life,
• 2:24
  Even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes.
• 2:27
  For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all
• 2:30
  judgment to the Son, so that all will honour the Son, even as
• 2:33
  they honour the Father. He who does not honour the Son
• 2:36
  does not honour the Father who sent Him.
• 2:38
  Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes
• 2:42
  Him who sent Me has eternal life and does not come into judgment,
• 2:46
  but has passed out of death into life.
• 2:49
  Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and now is when
• 2:52
  the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who
• 2:55
  here will live. For just as the Father has life
• 2:58
  in himself, Even so He gave to the Son also to have life in
• 3:02
  himself, and He gave him authority to execute judgement,
• 3:05
  because He is the Son of man. Do not marvel at this, for an
• 3:09
  hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear His
• 3:11
  voice and will come forth. Those who did the good deeds to
• 3:15
  a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to
• 3:19
  a resurrection of judgment. I can do nothing on my own
• 3:22
  initiative. As I hear, I judge, and my
• 3:25
  judgment is just because I do not seek my own will, but the
• 3:28
  will of Him who sent me. If I alone testify about myself,
• 3:32
  my testimony is not true. There is another who testifies
• 3:35
  of me, and I know that the testimony which He gives about
• 3:38
  me is true. You have sent to John, and He
• 3:41
  has testified to the truth. But the testimony which I
• 3:44
  receive is not from man. But I say these things so that
• 3:47
  you may be saved. He was the lamp that was burning
• 3:49
  and was shining, and you were willing to rejoice for a while
• 3:53
  in his light. But the testimony which I have
• 3:55
  is greater than the testimony of John for the works which the
• 3:58
  Father has given me to accomplish.
• 4:00
  The very works that I do testify about me, that the Father has
• 4:04
  sent me, and the Father who sent me, He has testified of me.
• 4:08
  You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form.
• 4:12
  You do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe
• 4:15
  Him whom He sent. You search the Scriptures
• 4:18
  because you think that in them you have eternal life.
• 4:20
  It is these that testify about Me, and you are unwilling to
• 4:24
  come to me so that you may have life.
• 4:26
  I do not receive glory from men, but I know you that you do not
• 4:30
  have the love of God in yourselves.
• 4:32
  I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive Me.
• 4:36
  If another comes in His own name, you will receive Him.
• 4:39
  How Can you believe when you receive glory from one another,
• 4:42
  and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only
• 4:44
  God? Do not think that I will accuse
• 4:47
  you before the Father. The one who accuses you is
• 4:49
  Moses, in whom you have set your hope.
• 4:52
  For if you believed Moses, you would believe me, for He wrote
• 4:55
  about me. But if you do not believe his
• 4:58
  writings, how will you believe my words?
