| Vers | Greek NT: Westcott/Hort, UBS4 variants † | English: King James Version |
| 1 | μετα ταυτα ην εορτη των ιουδαιων και ανεβη ιησους εις ιεροσολυμα | After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. |
| 2 | εστιν δε εν τοις ιεροσολυμοις επι τη προβατικη κολυμβηθρα η επιλεγομενη εβραιστι βηθζαθα πεντε στοας εχουσα | Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. |
| 3 | εν ταυταις κατεκειτο πληθος των ασθενουντων τυφλων χωλων ξηρων 5:4 | In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. |
| 5 | ην δε τις ανθρωπος εκει τριακοντα [και] οκτω ετη εχων εν τη ασθενεια αυτου | And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. |
| 6 | τουτον ιδων ο ιησους κατακειμενον και γνους οτι πολυν ηδη χρονον εχει λεγει αυτω θελεις υγιης γενεσθαι | When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? |
| 7 | απεκριθη αυτω ο ασθενων κυριε ανθρωπον ουκ εχω ινα οταν ταραχθη το υδωρ βαλη με εις την κολυμβηθραν εν ω δε ερχομαι εγω αλλος προ εμου καταβαινει | The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. |
| 8 | λεγει αυτω ο ιησους εγειρε αρον τον κραβαττον σου και περιπατει | Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. |
| 9 | και ευθεως εγενετο υγιης ο ανθρωπος και ηρεν τον κραβαττον αυτου και περιεπατει ην δε σαββατον εν εκεινη τη ημερα | And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. |
| 10 | ελεγον ουν οι ιουδαιοι τω τεθεραπευμενω σαββατον εστιν και ουκ εξεστιν σοι αραι τον κραβαττον {VAR2: σου } | The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. |
| 11 | {VAR1: ος } {VAR2: ο } δε απεκριθη αυτοις ο ποιησας με υγιη εκεινος μοι ειπεν αρον τον κραβαττον σου και περιπατει | He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. |
| 12 | ηρωτησαν αυτον τις εστιν ο ανθρωπος ο ειπων σοι αρον και περιπατει | Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? |
| 13 | ο δε ιαθεις ουκ ηδει τις εστιν ο γαρ ιησους εξενευσεν οχλου οντος εν τω τοπω | And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place. |
| 14 | μετα ταυτα ευρισκει αυτον {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } ιησους εν τω ιερω και ειπεν αυτω ιδε υγιης γεγονας μηκετι αμαρτανε ινα μη χειρον σοι τι γενηται | Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. |
| 15 | απηλθεν ο ανθρωπος και {VAR1: ειπεν } {VAR2: ανηγγειλεν } τοις ιουδαιοις οτι ιησους εστιν ο ποιησας αυτον υγιη | The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole. |
| 16 | και δια τουτο εδιωκον οι ιουδαιοι τον ιησουν οτι ταυτα εποιει εν σαββατω | And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. |
| 17 | ο δε {VAR2: [ιησους] } απεκρινατο αυτοις ο πατηρ μου εως αρτι εργαζεται καγω εργαζομαι | But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. |
| 18 | δια τουτο ουν μαλλον εζητουν αυτον οι ιουδαιοι αποκτειναι οτι ου μονον ελυεν το σαββατον αλλα και πατερα ιδιον ελεγεν τον θεον ισον εαυτον ποιων τω θεω | Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. |
| 19 | απεκρινατο ουν {VAR1: [ο ιησους] } {VAR2: ο ιησους } και ελεγεν αυτοις αμην αμην λεγω υμιν ου δυναται ο υιος ποιειν αφ εαυτου ουδεν εαν μη τι βλεπη τον πατερα ποιουντα α γαρ αν εκεινος ποιη ταυτα και ο υιος ομοιως ποιει | Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. |
| 20 | ο γαρ πατηρ φιλει τον υιον και παντα δεικνυσιν αυτω α αυτος ποιει και μειζονα τουτων δειξει αυτω εργα ινα υμεις θαυμαζητε | For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. |
| 21 | ωσπερ γαρ ο πατηρ εγειρει τους νεκρους και ζωοποιει ουτως και ο υιος ους θελει ζωοποιει | For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. |
| 22 | ουδε γαρ ο πατηρ κρινει ουδενα αλλα την κρισιν πασαν δεδωκεν τω υιω | For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: |
| 23 | ινα παντες τιμωσιν τον υιον καθως τιμωσιν τον πατερα ο μη τιμων τον υιον ου τιμα τον πατερα τον πεμψαντα αυτον | That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. |
| 24 | αμην αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ο τον λογον μου ακουων και πιστευων τω πεμψαντι με εχει ζωην αιωνιον και εις κρισιν ουκ ερχεται αλλα μεταβεβηκεν εκ του θανατου εις την ζωην | Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. |
| 25 | αμην αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ερχεται ωρα και νυν εστιν οτε οι νεκροι ακουσουσιν της φωνης του υιου του θεου και οι ακουσαντες ζησουσιν | Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. |
| 26 | ωσπερ γαρ ο πατηρ εχει ζωην εν εαυτω ουτως και τω υιω εδωκεν ζωην εχειν εν εαυτω | For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; |
| 27 | και εξουσιαν εδωκεν αυτω κρισιν ποιειν οτι υιος ανθρωπου εστιν | And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. |
| 28 | μη θαυμαζετε τουτο οτι ερχεται ωρα εν η παντες οι εν τοις μνημειοις ακουσουσιν της φωνης αυτου | Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, |
| 29 | και εκπορευσονται οι τα αγαθα ποιησαντες εις αναστασιν ζωης οι {VAR2: δε } τα φαυλα πραξαντες εις αναστασιν κρισεως | And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. |
| 30 | ου δυναμαι εγω ποιειν απ εμαυτου ουδεν καθως ακουω κρινω και η κρισις η εμη δικαια εστιν οτι ου ζητω το θελημα το εμον αλλα το θελημα του πεμψαντος με | I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. |
| 31 | εαν εγω μαρτυρω περι εμαυτου η μαρτυρια μου ουκ εστιν αληθης | If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. |
| 32 | αλλος εστιν ο μαρτυρων περι εμου και οιδα οτι αληθης εστιν η μαρτυρια ην μαρτυρει περι εμου | There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. |
| 33 | υμεις απεσταλκατε προς ιωαννην και μεμαρτυρηκεν τη αληθεια | Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth. |
| 34 | εγω δε ου παρα ανθρωπου την μαρτυριαν λαμβανω αλλα ταυτα λεγω ινα υμεις σωθητε | But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. |
| 35 | εκεινος ην ο λυχνος ο καιομενος και φαινων υμεις δε ηθελησατε αγαλλιαθηναι προς ωραν εν τω φωτι αυτου | He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. |
| 36 | εγω δε εχω την μαρτυριαν μειζω του ιωαννου τα γαρ εργα α δεδωκεν μοι ο πατηρ ινα τελειωσω αυτα αυτα τα εργα α ποιω μαρτυρει περι εμου οτι ο πατηρ με απεσταλκεν | But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. |
| 37 | και ο πεμψας με πατηρ εκεινος μεμαρτυρηκεν περι εμου ουτε φωνην αυτου πωποτε ακηκοατε ουτε ειδος αυτου εωρακατε | And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. |
| 38 | και τον λογον αυτου ουκ εχετε εν υμιν μενοντα οτι ον απεστειλεν εκεινος τουτω υμεις ου πιστευετε | And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. |
| 39 | εραυνατε τας γραφας οτι υμεις δοκειτε εν αυταις ζωην αιωνιον εχειν και εκειναι εισιν αι μαρτυρουσαι περι εμου | Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. |
| 40 | και ου θελετε ελθειν προς με ινα ζωην εχητε | And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. |
| 41 | δοξαν παρα ανθρωπων ου λαμβανω | I receive not honour from men. |
| 42 | αλλα εγνωκα υμας οτι την αγαπην του θεου ουκ εχετε εν εαυτοις | But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. |
| 43 | εγω εληλυθα εν τω ονοματι του πατρος μου και ου λαμβανετε με εαν αλλος ελθη εν τω ονοματι τω ιδιω εκεινον λημψεσθε | I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. |
| 44 | πως δυνασθε υμεις πιστευσαι δοξαν παρα αλληλων λαμβανοντες και την δοξαν την παρα του μονου {VAR1: [θεου] } {VAR2: θεου } ου ζητειτε | How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? |
| 45 | μη δοκειτε οτι εγω κατηγορησω υμων προς τον πατερα εστιν ο κατηγορων υμων μωυσης εις ον υμεις ηλπικατε | Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. |
| 46 | ει γαρ επιστευετε μωυσει επιστευετε αν εμοι περι γαρ εμου εκεινος εγραψεν | For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. |
| 47 | ει δε τοις εκεινου γραμμασιν ου πιστευετε πως τοις εμοις ρημασιν πιστευσετε | But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? |
| 4 | For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. |
