John 5 (WEBP)

[1] After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
[2] Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches.
[3] In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;
[4] for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.
[5] A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
[6] When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to be made well?”
[7] The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.”
[8] Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”
[9] Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.
[10] So the Jews said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”
[11] He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’ ”
[12] Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”
[13] But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.
[14] Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”
[15] The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
[16] For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
[17] But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”
[18] For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
[19] Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.
[20] For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
[21] For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.
[22] For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
[23] that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him.
[24] “Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
[25] Most certainly I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God’s voice; and those who hear will live.
[26] For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
[27] He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
[28] Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
[29] and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
[30] I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is righteous, because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.
[31] “If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
[32] It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
[33] You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
[34] But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.
[35] He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
[36] But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.
[37] The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
[38] You don’t have his word living in you, because you don’t believe him whom he sent.
[39] “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.
[40] Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.
[41] I don’t receive glory from men.
[42] But I know you, that you don’t have God’s love in yourselves.
[43] I have come in my Father’s name, and you don’t receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
[44] How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?
[45] “Don’t think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.
[46] For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
[47] But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”

John 5:4 NU omits from “waiting” in verse 3 to the end of verse 4.

John 5 (KJVS)

[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 ?

Young’s Literal Translation

John 5 (YLT)

[1] After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
[2] and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep-gate a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches,
[3] in these were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water,
[4] for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.
[5] And there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty and eight years,
[6] him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, he saith to him, ‘Dost thou wish to become whole?’
[7] The ailing man answered him, ‘Sir, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another doth go down before me.’
[8] Jesus saith to him, ‘Rise, take up thy couch, and be walking;’
[9] and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day,
[10] the Jews then said to him that hath been healed, ‘It is a sabbath; it is not lawful to thee to take up the couch.’
[11] He answered them, ‘He who made me whole-that one said to me, Take up thy couch, and be walking;’
[12] they questioned him, then, ‘Who is the man who is saying to thee, Take up thy couch and be walking?’
[13] But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place.
[14] After these things, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, ‘Lo, thou hast become whole; sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.’
[15] The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole,
[16] and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath.
[17] And Jesus answered them, ‘My Father till now doth work, and I work;’
[18] because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.
[19] Jesus therefore responded and said to them, ‘Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth;
[20] for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder.
[21] ‘For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth;
[22] for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son,
[23] that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.
[24] ‘Verily, verily, I say to you-He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.
[25] ‘Verily, verily, I say to you-There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live;
[26] for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,
[27] and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man.
[28] ‘Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice,
[29] and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.
[30] ‘I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.
[31] ‘If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true;
[32] another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true;
[33] ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth.
[34] ‘But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye may be saved;
[35] he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.
[36] ‘But I have the testimony greater than John’s, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.
[37] ‘And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;
[38] and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe.
[39] ‘Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me;
[40] and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life;
[41] glory from man I do not receive,
[42] but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves.
[43] ‘I have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will receive;
[44] how are ye able-ye-to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that is from God alone ye seek not?
[45] ‘Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses-in whom ye have hoped;
[46] for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me;
[47] but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my sayings?’
