   The Healing at the Pool   
      
   1 (Jn 2:13) After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up   
   to Jerusalem.   
   2 (Ne 3:1; 12:39) Now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate there is a pool,   
   which in Hebrew is called Bethesda, having five porches.   
   3 In these lay a great crowd of invalids, blind, lame, and paralyzed,   
   waiting for the moving of the water.   
   4 For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up   
   the water. After the stirring of the water, whoever stepped in first   
   was healed of whatever disease he had.   
   5 A certain man was there who had an illness for 38 years.   
   6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been   
   in that condition now a long time, He said to him, "Do you want to be healed?"   
   7 The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool   
   when the water is stirred. But while I am coming,   
   another steps down before me."   
   8 (Mt 9:6; Mk 2:11) Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed and walk."   
   9 (Jn 9:14) Immediately the man was healed, took up his bed, and walked.   
   That day was the Sabbath.   
   10 (Jer 17:21; Lk 6:2) The Jews therefore said to him who was cured,   
   "It is the Sabbath day. It is not lawful for you to carry your bed."   
   11 He answered them,   
   "He who healed me said to me, 'Take up your bed and walk.' "   
   12 So they asked him, "Who is the Man who said to you,   
   'Take up your bed and walk'?"   
   13 Now the man who was healed did not know who it was,   
   for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in that place.   
   14 (Jn 8:11) Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him,   
   "See, you have become whole. Sin no more lest something worse happens to you."   
   15 The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.   
   16 (Jn 15:20; Ac 9:4-5) So the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill Him,   
   because He had done these things on the Sabbath day.   
   17 (Jn 9:4; 14:10) Jesus answered them, "My Father is working still,   
   and I am working."   
   18 (Jn 10:33; 10:30; 5:16) So the Jews sought even more to kill Him,   
   because He not only had broken the Sabbath, but also said that   
   God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.   
      
   John 5   
   [1] After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to   
   Jerusalem.   
   [2] Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in   
   the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.   
   [3] In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt,   
   withered, waiting for the moving of the water.   
   [4] For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled   
   the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in   
   was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.   
   [5] And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight   
   years.   
   [6] When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in   
   that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?   
   [7] The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is   
   troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth   
   down before me.   
   [8] Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.   
   [9] And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked:   
   and on the same day was the sabbath.   
   [10] The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day:   
   it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.   
   [11] He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up   
   thy bed, and walk.   
   [12] Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy   
   bed, and walk?   
   [13] And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed   
   himself away, a multitude being in that place.   
   [14] Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold,   
   thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.   
   [15] The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made   
   him whole.   
   [16] And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him,   
   because he had done these things on the sabbath day.   
   [17] But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.   
   [18] Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had   
   broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself   
   equal with God.   
      
   The Authority of the Son   
      
   19 (Jn 8:28; 12:49) Then Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you,   
   the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do.   
   For whatever He does, likewise the Son does.   
   20 (Jn 3:35; Mt 3:17) For the Father loves the Son and shows Him all things   
   that He Himself does. And He will show Him greater works than these so that   
   you may marvel.   
   21 (Jn 11:25; Ro 8:11) For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life,   
   even so the Son gives life to whom He will.   
   22 (Jn 5:27; Ac 10:42) The Father judges no one, but has committed   
   all judgment to the Son,   
   23 (1Jn 2:23; Lk 10:16) that all men 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.   
   24 (Jn 3:18; 1Jn 3:14; Jn 3:36) "Truly, truly I say to you, whoever hears   
   My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life   
   and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life.   
   25 (Jn 4:23; Lk 15:24) Truly, truly I say to you, the 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.   
   26 (Jn 1:4; 11:26) For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has   
   given to the Son to have life in Himself,   
   27 (Jn 5:22; Ac 10:42) and has given Him authority to execute judgment   
   also, because He is the Son of Man.   
   28 "Do not marvel at this. For the hour is coming in which all who are   
   in the graves will hear His voice   
   29 (Ac 24:15) and come out-those who have done good to the resurrection   
   of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.   
   30 (Jn 4:34; Mt 26:39; Jn 5:19) I can do nothing of Myself. As I hear,   
   I judge. My judgment is just, because I seek not My own will,   
   but the will of the Father who sent Me.   
      
   [19] Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,   
   The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what   
   things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.   
   [20] For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself   
   doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.   
   [21] For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the   
   Son quickeneth whom he will.   
   [22] For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the   
   Son:   
   [23] That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He
