A Man Healed at the Pool of Bethesda

¹After ⚓this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus ⚓went up to Jerusalem. ²Now there is in Jerusalem ⚓by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. ³In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. ⁴For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. ⁵Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. ⁶When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?”
⁷The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”
⁸Jesus said to him, ⚓“Rise, take up your bed and walk.” ⁹And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked.
And ⚓that day was the Sabbath. ¹⁰The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath; ⚓it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.”
¹¹He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.’ ”
¹²Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?” ¹³But the one who was ⚓healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place. ¹⁴Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. ⚓Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.”
¹⁵The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

Honor the Father and the Son

¹⁶For this reason the Jews ⚓persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath. ¹⁷But Jesus answered them, ⚓“My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”
¹⁸Therefore the Jews ⚓sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, ⚓making Himself equal with God. ¹⁹Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, ⚓the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. ²⁰For ⚓the Father loves the Son, and ⚓shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel. ²¹For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them,⚓even so the Son gives life to whom He will. ²²For the Father judges no one, but ⚓has committed all judgment to the Son, ²³that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. ⚓He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

Life and Judgment Are Through the Son

²⁴“Most assuredly, I say to you, ⚓he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, ⚓but has passed from death into life. ²⁵Most assuredly, 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 who hear will live. ²⁶For ⚓as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have ⚓life in Himself, ²⁷and ⚓has given Him authority to execute judgment also, ⚓because He is the Son of Man. ²⁸Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will ⚓hear His voice ²⁹⚓and come forth—⚓those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. ³⁰⚓I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because ⚓I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

The Fourfold Witness

³¹⚓“If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true. ³²⚓There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true. ³³You have sent to John, ⚓and he has borne witness to the truth. ³⁴Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved. ³⁵He was the burning and ⚓shining lamp, and ⚓you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. ³⁶But ⚓I have a greater witness than John’s; for ⚓the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very ⚓works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me. ³⁷And the Father Himself, who sent Me, ⚓has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, ⚓nor seen His form. ³⁸But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe. ³⁹⚓You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and ⚓these are they which testify of Me. ⁴⁰⚓But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
⁴¹⚓“I do not receive honor from men. ⁴²But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you. ⁴³I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. ⁴⁴⚓How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek ⚓the honor that comes from the only God? ⁴⁵Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; ⚓there is one who accuses you—Moses, in whom you trust. ⁴⁶For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; ⚓for he wrote about Me. ⁴⁷But if you ⚓do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”
