With these things was the holy day of the Iudaeans and Yeshua ascended into Hierosoluma. Yet there is within Hierosoluma upon the sheep gate a columned bath which is called in Hebrew, “Beit-Zata,” having five columns. A multitude of the sick, blind, crippled, and withered reclined against these eagerly waiting for the movement of the water. Because an angel of the Lord from time to time used to bath in the columned bath and stirred up the water; the first then going into the water with the stirring up of the water became healthy by as much of the disease as once upon a time he was afflicted. And there was some human being having thirty eight years with his illness; Yeshua, having seen this person reclining against the column and knowing that he already has a lot of time there, says to him, “Do you wish to become healthy?” The person being ill answers him, “Lord, I don’t have a person so that he would throw me into the columned bath when the water is stirred up; and during which I am coming, another descends before me.” Yeshua says to him, “Get up, pick up your sleeping mat and walk.” And the human being immediately became healthy and picked up his sleeping mat and was walking.
Yet it was Shabbat on that day. The Iudaeans then were saying to the person having been cured, “It is Shabbat, and it isn’t allowed for you to pick up your sleeping mat.” Yet the person responded to them, “The guy having made me healthy, that One said to me, ‘Pick up your sleeping mat and walk.’ They questioned him, “Who is the human being who said to you, ‘Pick it up and walk’?” Yet the one having been healed didn’t know who it is, because Yeshua turned aside with a crowd being in the place. With these things Yeshua finds him in the temple and said to him, “Look, you became healthy, error no longer, so that nothing more severe would happen to you. The human being went and reported to the Iudaeans the Yeshua is the one having made him healthy. And because of this the Iudaeans chased Yeshua down, because he was doing these things on Shabbat. Yet the One responded to them, “My Father is working up to this point in time and I am working;” because of this then Iudaeans were seeking all the more to kill Him, because not only was He undoing Shabbat, but He was saying God was His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
Yeshua then responded and was saying to them, “Amen amen I say to you, the Son absolutely can’t do from Himself anything at all if He shouldn’t see the Father doing something; because what things that One would do, these things also the Son does in the same way. Because the Father has affection for the Son and shows Him all the things which He Himself does, and will show Him better works than these, so that you folks would be shocked. Because just like the Father raises the dead and makes them alive, so also the Son makes those alive whom He wishes. Because neither does the Father judge anyone at all, but had given all judgment to the Son, so that all people would value the Son just like they would value the Father. The person not valuing the Son doesn’t value the Father who sent Him. Amen amen I say to you that the person hearing My message and putting his trust in the One who sent Me holds the life of the Eternal One and isn’t coming into judgment, but had exchanged his position from Death into Life. Amen amen I say to you that an hour is coming and is at present when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those hearing will live. Because just like the Father possesses life by means of Himself, so also He gave to the Son to possess life by means of Himself. And He gave authority to Him to make a decision, because He is the Son of Adam. Don’t be shocked at this thing, because an hour is coming in which all those within the tombs will hear His voice and these having done good will be driven out into the resurrection of life, yet these practicing foul things into a resurrection of judgment.
“I absolutely can’t do anything at all from Myself; just like I hear I judge, and the decision which is Mine is right, because I’m not looking for the will which is Mine but the will of the One who sent Me.
“If I testify about Myself, My testimony isn’t true; but there is the One testifying about Me, and I know that the testimony which He testifies about Me is true. You people sent out to Yohanan, and he had testified the truth; yet I’m not taking the testimony from alongside human beings, but I am saying these things so that you would be rescued. That One was the lamp which burned and shone, yet you wished to exult for an hour with his light. Yet I hold testimony better than Yohanan’s; because the works which the Father gave Me so that I would finish them, these works themselves which I am doing testify about Me that the Father sent Me out. And that Father who sent Me had testified about Me. Neither had you heard His voice at any time nor had you people seen His form. In this One you don’t trust. Examine the Scriptures, because you people think to possess the life of the Eternal One with them; and those are what testify about Me; and you don’t wish to come to Me so that you would posses Life.
“I’m not accepting reputation from human beings, but I knew you that you don’t possess the love of God by means of yourselves. I had come with the Name of my Father, and you don’t accept Me; if another should come with his own name, you would accept that person. How can you people trust, accepting opinion from one another, and don’t look for the reputation which is from the only God? Don’t assume that I will bring charges against you people to the Father; the person bringing charges against you is Moses, into whom you people hoped. Because if you were believing Moses, you would have believed Me; because the one wrote about Me. Yet if you don’t trust in the written words of that one, how will you people trust in the spoken words which are Mine?”
