1After these things there was a feast of the Jews and Jesus went up unto Jerusalem.

2And there is in Jerusalem at (upon) the Sheep Gate, a pool, called in Aramaic (Hebrew) Bethesda, having five porches. 3In these were lying a multitude of those ailing, blind, lame, withered (dried out), awaiting the moving (stirring) of the water. 4{not in Vulgate, ESV, and other translations- For an angel descended during a fitting time in the pool and stirred the water. He who therefore first entered after the stirring of the water was made healthy from whatever disease (sickness, chronic illness) at the time he was held by.} 5And there was a certain man there being in his infirmity for thirty and eight years. 6Jesus having seen him lying and having known that he has already been a long time [in that state], says to him, Do you want to become healthy? 7The one ailing answered Him, Sir, I do not have a man, so that when the water has been stirred, he might put me into the pool; and while I am going, another descends before me. 8Jesus says to him, Arise, take up your mat and walk. 9And directly the man became healthy and took up his mat and walked; and it was on that Sabbath day. 10The Jews therefore said to the one having been healed (tetherapeumeno), It is Sabbath and it is not permitted for you to take up your mat. 11To which he answered them, the One having made me healthy, He said to me, Take up your mat and walk. 12Then they asked him, Who is the man, the One having said to you, Take up and walk? 13However the one having been healed (iatheis) did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place. 14After these things Jesus finds him in the temple and said to him, Behold, you have become healthy; sin no more, so that something worse does not happen to you. 15The man went away and told the Jews that it is Jesus, the One having made him healthy.

16And because of this, the Jews persecuted Jesus because He did these things on a Sabbath. 17However Jesus answered them, My Father is working until just now and I am also working.

18Because of this, then, the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because not only did He break the Sabbath, but He also called God His own Father, making Himself equal to God.

19Then Jesus answered and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son is not able to do anything from Himself, unless [it is] something He might see the Father doing; for whatever He does, these things also the Son does likewise. 20For the Father loves (philei-affectionately loves as intimate friends) the Son and shows (exhibits, points out) to Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show greater works than these, so that you might marvel. 21For just as the Father raises up the dead and gives life, thus the Son also gives life to whom He will; 22For not even the Father judges anyone, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23So that all might honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. He who is not honoring the Son is not honoring the Father, the One having sent Him.

24Truly, truly, I say to you that the one hearing My word and believing the One having sent Me has life eternal and does not come into judgment, but has passed from out of death unto life.

25Truly, truly, I say to you that an hour is coming and now is when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those having heard will live. 26For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself, 27And He gave to Him authority to execute (make) judgment because He is the Son of man. 28Do not marvel at this, because an hour is coming in which all those in the tombs will hear the voice of Him, 29And will come forth, those having done good (agatha, intrinsically-good) unto the resurrection of life; and those having practiced evil (phaula, foul) unto the resurrection of judgment.

30I am not able to do anything from Myself; just as I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My will, but the will of the One having sent Me.

31If I bear witness concerning Myself, My testimony is not true. 32It is another bearing witness concerning Me, and I know that the testimony which He bears witness concerning Me is true.

33You have sent to John and he has borne witness to the truth. 34However I do not receive the testimony from man, but I say these things so that you might be saved. 35He was the lamp burning and shining; and you were willing to rejoice (celebrate) for a season (hour, period of time) in His light.

36However I have the testimony greater than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me so that I should complete them, the same works which I do, bearing witness concerning Me that the Father has sent Me.

37And the One having sent Me, the Father Himself has borne witness concerning Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor have you seen His visible form. 38And you do not have His word abiding in you because you do not believe Him whom He sent.

39You diligently search the Scriptures, because in them you suppose to have life eternal, and these are they bearing witness concerning Me; 40And you are not willing to come to Me so that you might have life. 41I take (receive) no glory from men; 42But I have known you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves. 43I have come in the name of My Father and you do not receive Me; if another should come in his own name, you will receive him. 44How are you able to believe, receiving glory from one another, and you do not seek the glory that is from the only God? 45Do not suppose that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one accusing you, Moses, in whom you have hoped. 46For if you believed Moses, you would have believed Me; for he wrote concerning Me. 47However if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe the sayings (rhemasin) of Me?
