So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.

When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;

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.

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

When Jesus 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?"

So the Jews said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat."

But he who was healed didn't know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.

For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.

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

Jesus 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.

For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.

For neither does the Father judge any man, but he has given all judgment to the Son,

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

Don't marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,

He was the lamp that burns and shines, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

You don't have his word living in you; for whom he sent, him you don't believe.

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