The Third Sign: Healing the Sick
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:1 -

After this, a Jewish festival took place, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:2 -

By the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem there is a pool, called Bethesda[fn] in Aramaic, which has five colonnades.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:3 -

Within these lay a large number of the disabled ​— ​blind, lame, and paralyzed.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:5 -

One man was there who had been disabled for thirty-eight years.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:6 -

When Jesus saw him lying there and realized he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to get well? ”

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:7 -

“Sir,” the disabled man answered, “I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, someone goes down ahead of me.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:8 -

“Get up,” Jesus told him, “pick up your mat and walk.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:9 -

Instantly the man got well, picked up his mat, and started to walk.

Now that day was the Sabbath,

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:10 -

and so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath. The law prohibits you from picking up your mat.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:11 -

He replied, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’ ”

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:12 -

“Who is this man who told you, ‘Pick up your mat and walk’? ” they asked.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:13 -

But the man who was healed did not know who it was, because Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:14 -

After this, Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well. Do not sin anymore, so that something worse doesn’t happen to you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:15 -

The man went and reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:16 -

Therefore, the Jews began persecuting Jesus[fn] because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.

Honoring the Father and the Son
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:17 -

Jesus responded to them, “My Father is still working, and I am working also.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:18 -

This is why the Jews began trying all the more to kill him: Not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:19 -

Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, the Son is not able to do anything on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father[fn] does, the Son likewise does these things.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:20 -

“For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing, and he will show him greater works than these so that you will be amazed.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:21 -

“And just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom he wants.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:22 -

“The Father, in fact, judges no one but has given all judgment to the Son,

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:23 -

“so that all people may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

Life and Judgment
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:24 -

“Truly I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:25 -

“Truly I tell you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:26 -

“For just as the Father has life in himself, so also he has granted to the Son to have life in himself.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:27 -

“And he has granted him the right to pass judgment, because he is the Son of Man.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:28 -

“Do not be amazed at this, because a time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear his voice

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:29 -

“and come out ​— ​those who have done good things, to the resurrection of life, but those who have done wicked things, to the resurrection of condemnation.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:30 -

“I can do nothing on my own. I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

Witnesses to Jesus
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:31 -

“If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:32 -

“There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony he gives about me is true.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:33 -

“You sent messengers to John, and he testified to the truth.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:34 -

“I don’t receive human testimony, but I say these things so that you may be saved.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:35 -

“John[fn] was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:36 -

“But I have a greater testimony than John’s because of the works that the Father has given me to accomplish. These very works I am doing testify about me that the Father has sent me.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:37 -

“The Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You have not heard his voice at any time, and you haven’t seen his form.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:38 -

“You don’t have his word residing in you, because you don’t believe the one he sent.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:39 -

“You pore over the Scriptures because you think you have eternal life in them, and yet they testify about me.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:40 -

“But you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:41 -

“I do not accept glory from people,

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:42 -

“but I know you ​— ​that you have no love for God within you.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:43 -

“I have come in my Father’s name, and yet you don’t accept me. If someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:44 -

“How can you believe, since you accept glory from one another but don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:45 -

“Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom you have set your hope.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:46 -

“For if you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 5:47 -

“But if you don’t believe what he wrote, how will you believe my words? ”
