John 5

Common English Bible CEB

1 After this there was a Jewish festival, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 In Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate in the north city wall is a pool with the Aramaic name Bethsaida. It had five covered porches,

3 and a crowd of people who were sick, blind, lame, and paralyzed sat there.

5 A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

6 When Jesus saw him lying there, knowing that he had already been there a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to get well?"

7 The sick man answered him, "Sir, I don't have anyone who can put me in the water when it is stirred up. When I'm trying to get to it, someone else has gotten in ahead of me."

8 Jesus said to him, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk."

9 Immediately the man was well, and he picked up his mat and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath.

10 The Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, "It's the Sabbath; you aren't allowed to carry your mat."

11 He answered, "The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.'"

12 They inquired, "Who is this man who said to you, ‘Pick it up and walk'?"

13 The man who had been cured didn't know who it was, because Jesus had slipped away from the crowd gathered there.

14 Later Jesus found him in the temple and said, "See! You have been made well. Don't sin anymore in case something worse happens to you."

15 The man went and proclaimed to the Jewish leaders that Jesus was the man who had made him well.

16 As a result, the Jewish leaders were harassing Jesus, since he had done these things on the Sabbath.

17 Jesus replied, "My Father is still working, and I am working too."

18 For this reason the Jewish leaders wanted even more to kill him—not only because he was doing away with the Sabbath but also because he called God his own Father, thereby making himself equal with God.

19 Jesus responded to the Jewish leaders, “I assure you that the Son can't do anything by himself except what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise.

20 The Father loves the Son and shows him everything that he does. He will show him greater works than these so that you will marvel.

21 As the Father raises the dead and gives life, so too does the Son give life to whomever he wishes.

22 The Father doesn't judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son

23 so that everyone will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.

24 “I assure you that whoever hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and won't come under judgment but has passed from death into life.

25 “I assure you that the time is coming—and is here!—when the dead will hear the voice of God's Son, and those who hear it will live.

26 Just as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself.

27 He gives the Son authority to judge, because he is the Human One.

28 Don't be surprised by this, because the time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice.

29 Those who did good things will come out into the resurrection of life, and those who did wicked things into the resurrection of judgment.

30 I can't do anything by myself. Whatever I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just. I don't seek my own will but the will of the one who sent me.

31 “If I testify about myself, my testimony isn't true.

32 There is someone else who testifies about me, and I know his testimony about me is true.

33 You sent a delegation to John, and he testified to the truth.

34 Although I don't accept human testimony, I say these things so that you can be saved.

35 John was a burning and shining lamp, and, at least for a while, you were willing to celebrate in his light.

36 “I have a witness greater than John's testimony. The Father has given me works to do so that I might complete them. These works I do testify about me that the Father sent me.

37 And the Father who sent me testifies about me. You have never even heard his voice or seen his form,

38 and you don't have his word dwelling with you because you don't believe the one whom he has sent.

39 Examine the scriptures, since you think that in them you have eternal life. They also testify about me,

40 yet you don't want to come to me so that you can have life.

41 “I don't accept praise from people,

42 but I know you, that you don't have God's love in you.

43 I have come in my Father's name, and you don't receive me. If others come in their own name, you receive them.

44 How can you believe when you receive praise from each other but don't seek the praise that comes from the only God?

45 "Don't think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, the one in whom your hope rests.

46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, because Moses wrote about me.

47 If you don't believe the writings of Moses, how will you believe my words?"

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Later, Jesus went to Jerusalem for a Jewish festival.

2 Near Sheep Gate in Jerusalem was a pool called Bethesda in Hebrew. It had five porches.

3 Under these porches a large number of sick people--people who were blind, lame, or paralyzed--used to lie.

5 One man, who had been sick for 38 years, was lying there.

6 Jesus saw the man lying there and knew that he had been sick for a long time. So Jesus asked the man, "Would you like to get well?"

7 The sick man answered Jesus, "Sir, I don't have anyone to put me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I'm trying to get there, someone else steps into the pool ahead of me."

8 Jesus told the man, "Get up, pick up your cot, and walk."

9 The man immediately became well, picked up his cot, and walked. That happened on a day of worship.

10 So the Jews told the man who had been healed, "This is a day of worship. You're not allowed to carry your cot today."

11 The man replied, "The man who made me well told me to pick up my cot and walk."

12 The Jews asked him, "Who is the man who told you to pick it up and walk?"

13 But the man who had been healed didn't know who Jesus was. (Jesus had withdrawn from the crowd.)

14 Later, Jesus met the man in the temple courtyard and told him, "You're well now. Stop sinning so that something worse doesn't happen to you."

15 The man went back to the Jews and told them that Jesus was the man who had made him well.

16 The Jews began to persecute Jesus because he kept healing people on the day of worship.

17 Jesus replied to them, "My Father is working right now, and so am I."

18 His reply made the Jews more intent on killing him. Not only did he break the laws about the day of worship, but also he made himself equal to God when he said repeatedly that God was his Father.

19 Jesus said to the Jews, "I can guarantee this truth: The Son cannot do anything on his own. He can do only what he sees the Father doing. Indeed, the Son does exactly what the Father does.

20 The Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing. The Father will show him even greater things to do than these things so that you will be amazed.

21 In the same way that the Father brings back the dead and gives them life, the Son gives life to anyone he chooses.

22 "The Father doesn't judge anyone. He has entrusted judgment entirely to the Son

23 so that everyone will honor the Son as they honor the Father. Whoever doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.

24 I can guarantee this truth: Those who listen to what I say and believe in the one who sent me will have eternal life. They won't be judged because they have already passed from death to life.

25 "I can guarantee this truth: A time is coming (and is now here) when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who respond to it will live.

26 The Father is the source of life, and he has enabled the Son to be the source of life too.

27 "He has also given the Son authority to pass judgment because he is the Son of Man.

28 Don't be surprised at what I've just said. A time is coming when all the dead will hear his voice,

29 and they will come out of their tombs. Those who have done good will come back to life and live. But those who have done evil will come back to life and will be judged.

30 I can't do anything on my own. As I listen [to the Father], I make my judgments. My judgments are right because I don't try to do what I want but what the one who sent me wants.

31 "If I testify on my own behalf, what I say isn't true.

32 Someone else testifies on my behalf, and I know that what he says about me is true.

33 You sent people to John [the Baptizer], and he testified to the truth.

34 But I don't depend on human testimony. I'm telling you this to save you.

35 John was a lamp that gave off brilliant light. For a time you enjoyed the pleasure of his light.

36 But I have something that testifies more favorably on my behalf than John's testimony. The tasks that the Father gave me to carry out, these tasks which I perform, testify on my behalf. They prove that the Father has sent me.

37 The Father who sent me testifies on my behalf. You have never heard his voice, and you have never seen his form.

38 So you don't have the Father's message within you, because you don't believe in the person he has sent.

39 You study the Scriptures in detail because you think you have the source of eternal life in them. These Scriptures testify on my behalf.

40 Yet, you don't want to come to me to get [eternal] life.

41 "I don't accept praise from humans.

42 But I know what kind of people you are. You don't have any love for God.

43 I have come with the authority my Father has given me, but you don't accept me. If someone else comes with his own authority, you will accept him.

44 How can you believe when you accept each other's praise and don't look for the praise that comes from the only God?

45 "Don't think that I will accuse you in the presence of the Father. Moses, the one you trust, is already accusing you.

46 If you really believed Moses, you would believe me. Moses wrote about me.

47 If you don't believe what Moses wrote, how will you ever believe what I say?"
