( AF) Testimonies About Jesusģ1 “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true. ( AC) 30 By myself I can do nothing ( AD) I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, ( AE) for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. 27 And he has given him authority to judge ( AA) because he is the Son of Man.Ģ8 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming ( AB) when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out-those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life ( Z) in himself. ( W) 25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come ( X) when the dead will hear ( Y) the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. ( S)Ģ4 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me ( T) has eternal life ( U) and will not be judged ( V) but has crossed over from death to life. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him. 22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, ( R) 23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. 21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, ( P) even so the Son gives life ( Q) to whom he is pleased to give it. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, ( O) so that you will be amazed. 20 For the Father loves the Son ( N) and shows him all he does. ( L)ġ9 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself ( M) he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 17 In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father ( I) is always at his work ( J) to this very day, and I too am working.” 18 For this reason they tried all the more to kill him ( K) not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. The Authority of the Sonġ6 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. Stop sinning ( G) or something worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jewish leaders ( H) that it was Jesus who had made him well. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath, ( D) 10 and so the Jewish leaders ( E) said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath the law forbids you to carry your mat.” ( F)ġ1 But he replied, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’ ”ġ2 So they asked him, “Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?”ġ3 The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.ġ4 Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”Ĩ Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” ( C) 9 At once the man was cured he picked up his mat and walked. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”ħ “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. 5 One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 3 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie-the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate ( A) a pool, which in Aramaic ( B) is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 5 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals.
