John 5

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 After these things, there was a feast of the Yehudim, and Yeshua went up to Yerushalayim.

2 Now in Yerushalayim by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, "Beit-Zata," 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 of the Lord went down at certain times into the pool, and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was made whole of whatever disease he was afflicted with.

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

6 When Yeshua 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 Yeshua 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 it was the Shabbat on that day.

10 So the Yehudim said to him who was cured, "It is the Shabbat. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat."

11 He answered them, "He who made me well, the same 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13 But he who was healed didn't know who it was, for Yeshua had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.

14 Afterward Yeshua 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 Yehudim that it was Yeshua who had made him well.

16 For this cause the Yehudim persecuted Yeshua, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Shabbat.

17 But Yeshua answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too."

18 For this cause therefore the Yehudim sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Shabbat, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

19 Yeshua therefore answered them, "Most assuredly, 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 neither does the Father judge any man, 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 assuredly 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 assuredly, 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 that are in the tombs will hear his voice,

29 and will come forth; 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 Yochanan, 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 lamp that burns and shines, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

36 But the testimony which I have is greater than that of Yochanan, 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; for whom he sent, him you don't believe.

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 Moshe, on whom you have set your hope.

46 For if you believed Moshe, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.

47 But if you don't believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"

The Message Bible MSG

1 Soon another Feast came around and Jesus was back in Jerusalem.

2 Near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem there was a pool, in Hebrew called Bethesda, with five alcoves.

3 Hundreds of sick people - blind, crippled, paralyzed - were in these alcoves.

5 One man had been an invalid there for thirty-eight years.

6 When Jesus saw him stretched out by the pool and knew how long he had been there, he said, "Do you want to get well?"

7 The sick man said, "Sir, when the water is stirred, I don't have anybody to put me in the pool. By the time I get there, somebody else is already in."

8 Jesus said, "Get up, take your bedroll, start walking."

9 The man was healed on the spot. He picked up his bedroll and walked off.

10 The Jews stopped the healed man and said, "It's the Sabbath. You can't carry your bedroll around. It's against the rules."

11 But he told them, "The man who made me well told me to. He said, 'Take your bedroll and start walking.'"

12 They asked, "Who gave you the order to take it up and start walking?"

13 But the healed man didn't know, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd.

14 A little later Jesus found him in the Temple and said, "You look wonderful! You're well! Don't return to a sinning life or something worse might happen."

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

16 That is why the Jews were out to get Jesus - because he did this kind of thing on the Sabbath.

17 But Jesus defended himself. "My Father is working straight through, even on the Sabbath. So am I."

18 That really set them off. The Jews were now not only out to expose him; they were out to kill him. Not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was calling God his own Father, putting himself on a level with God.

19 So Jesus explained himself at length. "I'm telling you this straight. The Son can't independently do a thing, only what he sees the Father doing. What the Father does, the Son does.

20 The Father loves the Son and includes him in everything he is doing.

21 for in the same way that the Father raises the dead and creates life, so does the Son. The Son gives life to anyone he chooses.

22 Neither he nor the Father shuts anyone out. The Father handed all authority to judge over to the Son

23 so that the Son will be honored equally with the Father. Anyone who dishonors the Son, dishonors the Father, for it was the Father's decision to put the Son in the place of honor.

24 "It's urgent that you listen carefully to this: Anyone here who believes what I am saying right now and aligns himself with the Father, who has in fact put me in charge, has at this very moment the real, lasting life and is no longer condemned to be an outsider. This person has taken a giant step from the world of the dead to the world of the living.

25 "It's urgent that you get this right: The time has arrived - I mean right now! - when dead men and women will hear the voice of the Son of God and, hearing, will come alive.

26 Just as the Father has life in himself, he has conferred on the Son life in himself.

27 And he has given him the authority, simply because he is the Son of Man, to decide and carry out matters of Judgment.

28 "Don't act so surprised at all this. The time is coming when everyone dead and buried will hear his voice.

29 Those who have lived the right way will walk out into a resurrection Life; those who have lived the wrong way, into a resurrection Judgment.

30 "I can't do a solitary thing on my own: I listen, then I decide. You can trust my decision because I'm not out to get my own way but only to carry out orders.

31 If I were simply speaking on my own account, it would be an empty, self-serving witness.

32 But an independent witness confirms me, the most reliable Witness of all.

33 Furthermore, you all saw and heard John, and he gave expert and reliable testimony about me, didn't he?

34 "But my purpose is not to get your vote, and not to appeal to mere human testimony. I'm speaking to you this way so that you will be saved.

35 John was a torch, blazing and bright, and you were glad enough to dance for an hour or so in his bright light.

36 But the witness that really confirms me far exceeds John's witness. It's the work the Father gave me to complete. These very tasks, as I go about completing them, confirm that the Father, in fact, sent me.

37 The Father who sent me, confirmed me. And you missed it. You never heard his voice, you never saw his appearance.

38 There is nothing left in your memory of his Message because you do not take his Messenger seriously.

39 "You have your heads in your Bibles constantly because you think you'll find eternal life there. But you miss the forest for the trees. These Scriptures are all about me!

40 And here I am, standing right before you, and you aren't willing to receive from me the life you say you want.

41 "I'm not interested in crowd approval.

42 And do you know why? Because I know you and your crowds. I know that love, especially God's love, is not on your working agenda.

43 I came with the authority of my Father, and you either dismiss me or avoid me. If another came, acting self-important, you would welcome him with open arms.

44 How do you expect to get anywhere with God when you spend all your time jockeying for position with each other, ranking your rivals and ignoring God?

45 "But don't think I'm going to accuse you before my Father. Moses, in whom you put so much stock, is your accuser.

46 If you believed, really believed, what Moses said, you would believe me. He wrote of me.

47 If you won't take seriously what he wrote, how can I expect you to take seriously what I speak?"
