5. And a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.
6. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he said unto him, Dost thou desire to 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 steps down before me.
8. Jesus said 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 that 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 they asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up thy bed and walk?
13. And he that was healed did not know who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
14. Afterward Jesus found 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 who had made him whole.
16. And for this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him: because he had done these things on a sabbath.
17. But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now, and I work.
18. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
19. Then Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself but what he sees the Father do; for all that he does, this also the Son does together with him.
20. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all the things that he does, and he will show him greater works than these that ye may marvel.
21. For as the Father raises up the dead and gives them life; even so the Son gives life unto whom he will.
22. For the Father judges no man but has committed all judgment unto the Son
23. that everyone should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who has sent him.
24. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word and believes him that sent me has eternal life and shall not come into judgment but has passed from death unto life.
25. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour shall come, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live.
