   John Chapter 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.   
      
   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 that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.   
      
   24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and   
   believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come   
   into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.   
      
   25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when   
   the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear   
   shall live.   
      
   26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son   
   to have life in himself;   
      
   27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is   
   the Son of man.   
      
   28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are   
   in the graves shall hear his voice,   
      
   29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection   
   of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.   
      
   30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my   
   judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the   
   Father which hath sent me.   
      
   31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.   
      
   32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the   
   witness which he witnesseth of me is true.   
      
   33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.   
      
   34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye   
   might be saved.   
      
   35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a   
   season to rejoice in his light.   
      
   36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the   
   Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness   
   of me, that the Father hath sent me.   
      
   37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me.   
   Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.   
      
   38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him   
   ye believe not.   
      
   39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and   
   they are they which testify of me.   
      
   40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.   
      
   41 I receive not honour from men.   
      
   42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.   
      
   43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another   
   shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.   
      
   44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not   
   the honour that cometh from God only?   
      
   45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that   
   accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.   
      
   46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.   
      
   47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?   
      
   John Chapter 6   
      
   1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the   
   sea of Tiberias.   
      
   2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles   
   which he did on them that were diseased.   
      
   3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.   
      
   4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.   
      
   5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto   
   him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?   
      
   6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.   
      
   7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient   
   for them, that every one of them may take a little.   
      
   8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,   
      
   9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small   
   fishes: but what are they among so many?   
      
   10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in   
   the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.   
      
   11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he   
   distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set   
   down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.   
      
   12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the   
   fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.   
      
   13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with   
   the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above   
   unto them that had eaten.
