1 Sometime after|strong="G3326" this|strong="G3778" there|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1510" a|strong="G2532" Jewish|strong="G2453" Festival|strong="G1859"; and|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424" went|strong="G2424" up|strong="G1519" to|strong="G1519" Jerusalem|strong="G2414".
2 There|strong="G1161" is|strong="G1510" in|strong="G1722" Jerusalem|strong="G2414", near|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" sheep-gate, a|strong="G2192" bath with|strong="G1722" five|strong="G4002" colonnades round it|strong="G1161". It|strong="G1161" is|strong="G1510" called|strong="G3004" in|strong="G1722" Hebrew|strong="G1447" “Bethesda.”
3 In|strong="G1722" these|strong="G3778" colonnades a|strong="G1722" large number|strong="G4128" of|strong="G1722" sick|strong="G2621" people|strong="G4128" were|strong="G3588" lying|strong="G2621" – blind|strong="G5185", lame|strong="G5560", and|strong="G3588" crippled.
5 One|strong="G5100" man|strong="G5100" who|strong="G3588" was|strong="G1510" there|strong="G1563" had|strong="G2192" been|strong="G1510" crippled for|strong="G1161" thirty-eight|strong="G5144" years|strong="G2094".
6 Jesus|strong="G2424" saw|strong="G3708" the|strong="G2532" man|strong="G3778" lying|strong="G2621" there|strong="G2532", and|strong="G2532", finding that|strong="G3754" he|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2192" been|strong="G1096" in|strong="G2532" this|strong="G3778" state a|strong="G2192" long|strong="G4183" time|strong="G5550", said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588", ‘\+w Do|strong="G1096"\+w* \+w you|strong="G3754"\+w* \+w wish|strong="G2309"\+w* \+w to|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w be|strong="G1096"\+w* cured?’
7 ‘I|strong="G1473" have|strong="G2192" no|strong="G3756" one|strong="G3739", Sir|strong="G2962",’ the|strong="G1722" sick man|strong="G3739" answered, ‘to|strong="G1519" put|strong="G1519" me|strong="G1473" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1722" bath when|strong="G3752" there|strong="G1161" is|strong="G3588" a|strong="G2192" troubling of|strong="G2962" the|strong="G1722" water|strong="G5204", and|strong="G1161", while|strong="G1722" I|strong="G1473" am|strong="G1473" getting to|strong="G1519" it|strong="G1161", someone|strong="G3739" else|strong="G1161" steps|strong="G2597" down|strong="G2597" before|strong="G4253" me|strong="G1473".’
8 ‘\+w Stand|strong="G1453"\+w* \+w up|strong="G1453"\+w*,’ said|strong="G3004" Jesus|strong="G2424", ‘\+w take|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w up|strong="G1453"\+w* \+w your|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w mat|strong="G2895"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w walk|strong="G4043"\+w*.’
9 The|strong="G1722" man|strong="G1565" was|strong="G1510" cured immediately|strong="G2112", and|strong="G2532" took|strong="G1096" up|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1722" mat|strong="G2895" and|strong="G2532" began|strong="G1096" walking|strong="G4043".
10 Now|strong="G2532" it|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1510" the|strong="G2532" Sabbath|strong="G4521". So|strong="G3767" the|strong="G2532" religious authorities said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" man|strong="G3756" who|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2532" been|strong="G1510" cured|strong="G2323", ‘This|strong="G3588" is|strong="G1510" the|strong="G2532" Sabbath|strong="G4521"; you|strong="G4771" must|strong="G2453" not|strong="G3756" carry your|strong="G2532" mat|strong="G2895".’
11 ‘The|strong="G2532" man|strong="G1565" who|strong="G3588" cured me|strong="G1473",’ he|strong="G2532" answered|strong="G3004", ‘said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" me|strong="G1473" “\+w Take|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w up|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w your|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w mat|strong="G2895"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w walk|strong="G4043"\+w*.”’
12 ‘Who|strong="G5101" was|strong="G1510" it|strong="G2532",’ they|strong="G2532" asked|strong="G2065", ‘that|strong="G3588" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" you|strong="G4771" “\+w Take|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w up|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w your|strong="G2532"\+w* mat \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w walk|strong="G4043"\+w*”?’
13 But|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1722" man|strong="G3756" who|strong="G5101" had|strong="G2424" been|strong="G1510" restored did|strong="G1492" not|strong="G3756" know|strong="G1492" who|strong="G5101" it|strong="G1161" was|strong="G1510"; for|strong="G1063" Jesus|strong="G2424" had|strong="G2424" moved away|strong="G1593", because|strong="G1063" there|strong="G1161" was|strong="G1510" a|strong="G1722" crowd|strong="G3793" there|strong="G1161".
14 Afterwards|strong="G1722" Jesus|strong="G2424" found|strong="G2147" the|strong="G1722" man|strong="G5100" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Temple|strong="G2413" Courts, and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2443" him|strong="G3588", ‘\+w You|strong="G4771"\+w* \+w are|strong="G3588"\+w* cured \+w now|strong="G2532"\+w*; \+w do|strong="G1096"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3361"\+w* sin \+w again|strong="G3371"\+w*, \+w or|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w something|strong="G5100"\+w* \+w worse|strong="G5501"\+w* \+w may|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w happen|strong="G1096"\+w* \+w to|strong="G2443"\+w* \+w you|strong="G4771"\+w*.’
15 The|strong="G2532" man|strong="G4160" went|strong="G2424" away, and|strong="G2532" told|strong="G3004" the|strong="G2532" authorities that|strong="G3754" it|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1510" Jesus|strong="G2424" who|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2424" cured him|strong="G3588".
16 And|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3754" was|strong="G3588" why|strong="G1223" they|strong="G2532" began to|strong="G2532" persecute|strong="G1377" Jesus|strong="G2424" – because|strong="G3754" he|strong="G2532" did|strong="G4160" things|strong="G3778" of|strong="G1223" this|strong="G3778" kind on|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Sabbath|strong="G4521".
17 But|strong="G1161" Jesus replied, ‘\+w My|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w Father|strong="G3962"\+w* \+w works|strong="G2038"\+w* \+w to|strong="G2193"\+w* \+w this|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w very|strong="G3588"\+w* hour, \+w and|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w work|strong="G2038"\+w* \+w also|strong="G2504"\+w*.’
18 This|strong="G3778" made|strong="G4160" the|strong="G2532" authorities all|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" more|strong="G3123" eager to|strong="G2532" kill him|strong="G3588", because|strong="G3754" not|strong="G3756" only|strong="G3440" was|strong="G3588" he|strong="G2532" doing|strong="G4160" away with|strong="G1223" the|strong="G2532" Sabbath|strong="G4521", but|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" actually|strong="G2532" called|strong="G3004" God|strong="G2316" his|strong="G1438" own|strong="G2398" Father|strong="G3962" – putting|strong="G2532" himself|strong="G1438" on|strong="G4160" an|strong="G2532" equality|strong="G2470" with|strong="G1223" God|strong="G2316".
19 So|strong="G3767" Jesus|strong="G2424" made|strong="G4160" this|strong="G3778" further reply|strong="G3004", ‘\+w In|strong="G2532"\+w* truth \+w I|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w tell|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w*, \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w Son|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w can|strong="G1410"\+w* \+w do|strong="G4160"\+w* \+w nothing|strong="G3762"\+w* \+w of|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w himself|strong="G1438"\+w*; \+w he|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w does|strong="G4160"\+w* \+w only|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w what|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w he|strong="G2532"\+w* sees \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w Father|strong="G3962"\+w* \+w doing|strong="G4160"\+w*; \+w whatever|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w Father|strong="G3962"\+w* \+w does|strong="G4160"\+w*, \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w Son|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w does|strong="G4160"\+w* \+w also|strong="G2532"\+w*.
