After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Y'shua went up to Urishlim.

And there was there in Urishlim a certain place of immersion, which is called in Hebrew Beth-Chesda; and there were in it five porches.

And in these were lying a great many of the sick, and the blind, and the lame, and the withered, and they were waiting for the moving of the waters.

For a messenger from time to time went down into the immersion place and stirred the waters; and whoever first went down after the stirring of the waters was healed of whatever disease he had.

And a certain man was there who had been in his disease thirty-eight years.

Y'shua saw him lying, and knew that his disease had been a long time upon him, and said to him: Do you want to be healed?

The sick man answered and said, Yes, my Master; but I have no one who, when the water is stirred, will put me into the immersion; but while I am coming, another goes down before me.

Y'shua said to him, Get up, take up your bed, and walk.

And at once that man was healed, and he got up, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath.

And the Yehudaye said to him who was healed, It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.

But he answered and said to them, He who made me whole, he said to me, Take up your bed and walk.

And they asked him, Who is this man who said to you, Take up your bed and walk?

But the one who was healed did not know who it was; for Y'shua had withdrawn himself in the great crowd that was in that place.

After a time Y'shua found him in the temple and said to him: See, you are healed; do not sin again, so that nothing worse than before comes upon you.

And the man went and told the Jews that it was Y'shua who had healed him.

And because of this the Jews were persecuting Y'shua and seeking to kill him, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.

But Y'shua said to them: My Father works until now, and I also work.

And because of this the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, not only because he was loosening the Sabbath, but also because he was saying of Elohim that he is his Father, and was making himself equal with Elohim.

Y'shua answered and said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you, the Son can do nothing from the will of his own soul, but what he sees the Father do; for whatever the Father does, these the Son also does like him.

For the Father loves his Son, and shows him everything he does; and greater works than these he will show him, that you may wonder.

For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to those he wills.

For the Father does not judge anyone, but has given all judgment to the Son,

that everyone may honor the Son as he honors the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

Amen, amen, I say to you, that whoever hears my word and believes the one who sent me has life that is forever, and does not come to judgment, but has passed from death to life.

Amen, amen, I say to you that the hour is coming, and even now it is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of Elohim, and those who hear will live.

For as the Father has life in himself, so he has given also to the Son to have life in himself.

And he has authorized him to be the doer of judgment also.¹

That he is the Son of man. Do not wonder at this, that the hour is coming when all who are in the grave will hear his voice,

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.

I can do nothing from the will of my own soul, but as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, for I do not seek my will, but the will of him who sent me.

If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.

There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony he testifies about me is true.

You sent to Yochanan, and he testified to the truth.

But I do not receive testimony from a son of man; yet I say these things so that you may live.

He was a lamp that burns and shines, and you were willing for a time to glory in his light.

But I have a testimony greater than that of Yochanan; for the works my Father gave me to finish, those works that I do, testify about me that the Father sent me.

And the Father who sent me, he testifies of me. You have never at any time heard his voice, and you have not seen his visage.

And his word does not abide in you, because you do not believe in him whom he has sent.

Search the scriptures; for in them you think there is life eternal for you; and they testify of me.

And you are not willing to come to me, that life eternal may be yours.

I do not receive glory from the sons of men.

But I know you, that the love of Elohim is not in you.

I came in the name of my Father, and you do not receive me; and if another comes in the name of his own self, him you will receive.

How can you believe, you who receive glory from one another, and do not seek the glory that is from the one Elohim?

Do you suppose that I accuse you before the Father? There is one who accuses you, Moshe, in whom you have hoped.

For if you had believed Moshe, you would also be believing me; for Moshe wrote about me.

And if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?
