John Capítulo 5

5 : 1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

5 : 2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

5 : 3 In these lay a great multitude of weak folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

5 : 4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatever disease he had.

5 : 5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

5 : 6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he said to him, Will you be made whole?

5 : 7 The weak 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 steps down before me.

5 : 8 Jesus said to him, Rise, take up your bed, and walk.

5 : 9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

5 : 10 The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.

5 : 11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said to me, Take up your bed, and walk.

5 : 12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said to you, Take up your bed, and walk?

5 : 13 And he that was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

5 : 14 Afterward Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, you are made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come to you.

5 : 15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

5 : 16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

5 : 17 But Jesus answered them, My Father works till now, and I work.

5 : 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.

5 : 19 Then answered Jesus and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do: for what things soever he does, these also does the Son likewise.

5 : 20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that himself does: and he will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

5 : 21 For as the Father raises up the dead, and vivifies them; even so the Son vivifies whom he will.

5 : 22 For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son:

5 : 23 That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which has sent him.

5 : 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death to life.

5 : 25 Truly, truly, I say to 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.

5 : 26 For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself;

5 : 27 And has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

5 : 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

5 : 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.

5 : 30 I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me.

5 : 31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

5 : 32 There is another that bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true.

5 : 33 You sent to John, and he bore witness to the truth.

5 : 34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that you might be saved.

5 : 35 He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

5 : 36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me.

5 : 37 And the Father himself, which has sent me, has borne witness of me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

5 : 38 And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he has sent, him you believe not.

5 : 39 Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

5 : 40 And you will not come to me, that you might have life.

5 : 41 I receive not honor from men.

5 : 42 But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.

5 : 43 I am come in my Father's name, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.

5 : 44 How can you believe, which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that comes from God only?

5 : 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom you trust.

5 : 46 For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me; for he wrote of me.

5 : 47 But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words?
