5:3 In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, and withered, {waiting for the moving of the waters;

5:4 for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool, and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was made well from whatever disease with which he was afflicted.}

5:5 And a certain man was there, who had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity.
5:5 And a certain man was there, who had been thirty-eight years in his sickness.

5:6 When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time (in that case), he saith unto him, Wouldest thou be made whole?
5:6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time [in that condition,] He *said to him, "Do you wish to get well?"

5:7 The sick 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.
5:7 The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me."

5:8 Jesus saith unto him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.

5:9 And immediately the man became well, and took up his pallet and [began] to walk. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.

5:10 So the Jews said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.
5:10 Therefore the Jews were saying to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath, and it is not permissible for you to carry your pallet."

5:11 But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
5:11 But he answered them, "He who made me well was the one who said to me, 'Take up your pallet and walk.'"

5:12 They asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up (thy bed), and walk?
5:12 They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Take up [your pallet,] and walk'?"

5:13 But he that was healed knew not who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place.
5:13 But he who was healed did not know who it was; for Jesus had slipped away while there was a crowd in [that] place.

5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee.
5:14 Afterward Jesus *found him in the temple, and said to him, "Behold, you have become well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse may befall you."

5:15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole.

5:19 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner.
5:19 Jesus therefore answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless [it is] something He sees the Father doing; for whatever [the Father] does, these things the Son also does in like manner.

5:20 For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and greater works than these will he show him, that ye may marvel.
5:20 "For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and greater works than these will He show Him, that you may marvel.

5:26 "For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself;

5:27 and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
5:27 and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is [the] Son of Man.

5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,
5:28 "Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs shall hear His voice,

5:29 and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.
5:29 and shall come forth; those who did the good [deeds] to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil [deeds] to a resurrection of judgment.

5:30 "I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

5:31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
5:31 "If I [alone] bear witness of Myself, My testimony is not true.

5:36 But the witness which I have is greater than (that of) John; for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
5:36 "But the witness 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, bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.

5:37 And the Father that sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
5:37 "And the Father who sent Me, He has borne witness of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.

5:41 I receive not glory from men.
5:41 "I do not receive glory from men;

5:42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in yourselves.
5:42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.

5:43 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.
5:43 "I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another shall come in his own name, you will receive him.

5:44 How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and the glory that (cometh) from the only God ye seek not?
5:44 "How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another, and you do not seek the glory that is from the [one and] only God?

5:46 For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.
5:46 "For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote of Me.

5:47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
5:47 "But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?"
