| After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. | The Healing at the Pool Jn.5.1-18 | ||
| Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Hebrew called Beth-za'tha, which has five porticoes. | |||
| In these lay a multitude of invalids, blind, lame, paralyzed. | |||
| One man was there, who had been ill for thirty-eight years. | |||
| When Jesus saw him and knew that he had been lying there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be healed?" | |||
| The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled, and while I am going another steps down before me." | |||
| Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your pallet, and walk." | |||
| And at once the man was healed, and he took up his pallet and walked. Now that day was the sabbath. | |||
| So the Jews said to the man who was cured, "It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for you to carry your pallet." | |||
| But he answered them, "The man who healed me said to me, 'Take up your pallet, and walk.'" | |||
| They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Take up your pallet, and walk'?" | |||
| Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. | |||
| Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse befall you." | |||
| The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. | |||
| And this was why the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did this on the sabbath. | |||
| But Jesus answered them, "My Father is working still, and I am working." | |||
| This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God. | |||
| Jesus said to them, | The Authority of the Son Jn.5.19-29 | ||
| For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all that he himself is doing; and greater works than these will he show him, that you may marvel. | |||
| For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will. | |||
| The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, | |||
| that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. | |||
| Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. | |||
| "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 who hear will live. | |||
| For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself, | |||
| and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man. | |||
| Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice | |||
| and come forth, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment. | |||
| "I can do nothing on my own authority; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me. | Witnesses to Jesus Jn.5.30-47 | ||
| If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true; | |||
| there is another who bears witness to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is true. | |||
| You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. | |||
| Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved. | |||
| He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. | |||
| But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has granted me to accomplish, these very works which I am doing, bear me witness that the Father has sent me. | |||
| And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness to me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen; | |||
| and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent. | |||
| You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me; | |||
| yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. | |||
| I do not receive glory from men. | |||
| But I know that you have not the love of God within you. | |||
| I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. | |||
| How can you believe, who receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? | |||
| Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; it is Moses who accuses you, on whom you set your hope. | |||
| If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me. | |||
| But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe his words?" | |||
