, Take up your bed
and walk? [5:13]And the sick man knew not who it was; for Jesus had
gone away, a multitude being in that place. [5:14]Afterwards Jesus
found him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, you have become well;
sin no more, lest a worse thing happen to you. [5:15]The man went away
and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well; [5:16]and on
this account the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he had done these
things on the sabbath. [5:17]But Jesus answered them, My Father works
even till now, and I work. [5:18]Then, for this reason, the Jews sought
the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but also
said, that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
[5:19]Then Jesus answered and said to them, I tell you most truly, the
Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do; for
whatever he does, these things also does the Son in like manner.
[5:20]For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things which he
does; and greater works than these will he show him, that you may

passed from death to life. [5:25]I tell you most truly, that the hour
comes, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of
God, and those that hear shall live. [5:26]For as the Father has life
in himself, so has he also given to the Son to have life in himself;
[5:27]and has given him authority and judgment to execute, because he
is the Son of man. [5:28]Wonder not at this; for the hour comes in
which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice [5:29]and shall
come forth; those that have done good to a resurrection of life, and
those that have done evil to a resurrection of judgment. [5:30]I can do
nothing of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, for I
seek not my will, but the will of him that sent me.
4 [5:31]If I testify of myself my testimony is not true. [5:32]There
is another who testifies of me, and I know that the testimony which he
testifies of me is true. [5:33]You sent to John, and he testified to
