The Healing at the Pool

5 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. 2 Now
there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called
Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 3 Here a great number
[a]

of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. [4] 5 One who was
[b]

there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and
learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want
to get well?”

7
“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is
stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”

8
Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” 9 At once the man was
cured; he picked up his mat and walked.

The day on which this took place was a Sabbath, 10 and so the Jewish leaders said to the
man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat.”

11
But he replied, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’ ”

12
So they asked him, “Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?”

13
The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the
crowd that was there.

14
Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop
sinning or something worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the
Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.

The Authority of the Son


16
So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to
persecute him. 17 In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to
this very day, and I too am working.” 18 For this reason they tried 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 with God.

19
Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by
himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father
does the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes,
and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. 21 For
just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom
he is pleased to give it. 22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all
judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father.
Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.

24
“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has
eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. 25 Very truly I
tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the
Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has
granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to
judge because he is the Son of Man.

28
“Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will
hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and
those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned. 30 By myself I can do
nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself
but him who sent me.

Testimonies About Jesus

“If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is another who testifies in
31

my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is true.

33
“You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth. 34 Not that I accept human
testimony; but I mention it that you may be saved. 35 John was a lamp that burned and
gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.

36
“I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the works that the Father has given
me to finish—the very works that I am doing—testify that the Father has sent me. 37 And
the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his
voice nor seen his form, 38 nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one
he sent. 39 You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have
[c]

eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, 40 yet you refuse to come
to me to have life.

41
“I do not accept glory from human beings, 42 but I know you. I know that you do not
have the love of God in your hearts. 43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not
accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. 44 How can
you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that
comes from the only God ?[d]

45
“But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom
your hopes are set. 46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about
me. 47 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I
say?”
