And at dawn he came again to the temple – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 8 And at dawn he came again to the temple,

²and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;

³and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,

⁴they say to him, `Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,

⁵and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?’

⁶and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,

⁷and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, `The sinless of you — let him first cast the stone at her;’

⁸and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,

⁹and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders — unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

¹⁰And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, `Woman, where are those — thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?’

¹¹and she said, `No one, Sir;’ and Jesus said to her, `Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.’

¹²Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, `I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.’

¹³The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, `Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;’

¹⁴Jesus answered and said to them, `And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.

¹⁵`Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,

¹⁶and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;

¹⁷and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;

¹⁸I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.’

¹⁹They said, therefore, to him, `Where is thy father?’ Jesus answered, `Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.’

^{20 These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;}

²¹therefore said Jesus again to them, `I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.’

²²The Jews, therefore, said, `Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?’

²³and he said to them, `Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world;

²⁴I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.’

²⁵They said, therefore, to him, `Thou — who art thou?’ and Jesus said to them, `Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning;

²⁶many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I — what things I heard from Him — these I say to the world.’

²⁷They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;

²⁸Jesus, therefore, said to them, `When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am [he]; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;

²⁹and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.’

³⁰As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;

³¹Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, `If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,

³²and the truth shall make you free.’

³³They answered him, `Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say — Ye shall become free?’

^{34 Jesus answered them, `Verily, verily, I say to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,}

³⁵and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age;

³⁶if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.

³⁷`I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;

³⁸I — that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father — ye do.’

³⁹They answered and said to him, `Our father is Abraham;’ Jesus saith to them, `If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;

^{40 and now, ye seek to kill me — a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;}

⁴¹ye do the works of your father.’ They said, therefore, to him, `We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have — God;’

⁴²Jesus then said to them, `If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;

⁴³wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.

^{44 `Ye are of a father — the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar — also his father.}

⁴⁵`And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.

⁴⁶Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.’

⁴⁸The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, `Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?’

⁴⁹Jesus answered, `I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;

⁵⁰and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;

⁵¹verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see — to the age.’

^{52 The Jews, therefore, said to him, `Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death — to the age!}

⁵³Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?’

⁵⁴Jesus answered, `If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;

⁵⁵and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you — speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;

⁵⁶Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.’

⁵⁷The Jews, therefore, said unto him, `Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?’

⁵⁸Jesus said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham’s coming — I am;’

^{59 they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. – Aslan International Ministry}

And the third day a marriage happened in Cana of Galilee – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 2 And the third day a marriage happened in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there,

²and also Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage;

³and wine having failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, `Wine they have not;’

⁴Jesus saith to her, `What — to me and to thee, woman? not yet is mine hour come.’

⁵His mother saith to the ministrants, `Whatever he may say to you — do.’

⁶And there were there six water-jugs of stone, placed according to the purifying of the Jews, holding each two or three measures.

⁷Jesus saith to them, `Fill the water-jugs with water;’ and they filled them — unto the brim;

⁸and he saith to them, `Draw out, now, and bear to the director of the apartment;’ and they bare.

⁹And as the director of the apartment tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it is, (but the ministrants knew, who have drawn the water,) the director of the feast doth call the bridegroom,

¹⁰and saith to him, `Every man, at first, the good wine doth set forth; and when they may have drunk freely, then the inferior; thou didst keep the good wine till now.’

¹¹This beginning of the signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him;

¹²after this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and there they remained not many days.

¹³And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

¹⁴and he found in the temple those selling oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the money-changers sitting,

¹⁵and having made a whip of small cords, he put all forth out of the temple, also the sheep, and the oxen; and of the money-changers he poured out the coins, and the tables he overthrew,

¹⁶and to those selling the doves he said, `Take these things hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.’

¹⁷And his disciples remembered that it is written, `The zeal of Thy house did eat me up;’

¹⁸the Jews then answered and said to him, `What sign dost thou shew to us — that thou dost these things?’

¹⁹Jesus answered and said to them, `Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.’

²⁰The Jews, therefore, said, `Forty and six years was this sanctuary building, and wilt thou in three days raise it up?’

²¹but he spake concerning the sanctuary of his body;

^{22 when, then, he was raised out of the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this to them, and they believed the Writing, and the word that Jesus said.}

²³And as he was in Jerusalem, in the passover, in the feast, many believed in his name, beholding his signs that he was doing;

²⁴and Jesus himself was not trusting himself to them, because of his knowing all [men],

^{25 and because he had no need that any should testify concerning man, for he himself was knowing what was in man. – Aslan International Ministry}

These things having said – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 18 These things having said, Jesus went forth with his disciples beyond the brook of Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples,

²and Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place, because many times did Jesus assemble there with his disciples.

³Judas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, doth come thither with torches and lamps, and weapons;

⁴Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming upon him, having gone forth, said to them, `Whom do ye seek?’

⁵they answered him, `Jesus the Nazarene;’ Jesus saith to them, `I am [he];’ — and Judas who delivered him up was standing with them; —

⁶when, therefore, he said to them — `I am [he],’ they went away backward, and fell to the ground.

⁷Again, therefore, he questioned them, `Whom do ye seek?’ and they said, `Jesus the Nazarene;’

⁸Jesus answered, `I said to you that I am [he]; if, then, me ye seek, suffer these to go away;’

⁹that the word might be fulfilled that he said — `Those whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.’

¹⁰Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the chief priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear — and the name of the servant was Malchus —

¹¹Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, `Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father hath given to me, may I not drink it?’

¹²The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound him,

¹³and they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,

¹⁴and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people.

^{15 And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest,}

¹⁶and Peter was standing at the door without, therefore went forth the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and he spake to the female keeping the door, and he brought in Peter.

¹⁷Then said the maid keeping the door to Peter, `Art thou also of the disciples of this man?’ he saith, `I am not;’

¹⁸and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.

¹⁹The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching;

²⁰Jesus answered him, `I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing;

^{21 why me dost thou question? question those having heard what I spake to them; lo, these have known what I said.’}

²²And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, `Thus dost thou answer the chief priest?’

²³Jesus answered him, `If I spake ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why me dost thou smite?’

²⁴Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.

²⁵And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, they said then to him, `Art thou also of his disciples?’ he denied, and said, `I am not.’

²⁶One of the servants of the chief priest, being kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, `Did not I see thee in the garden with him?’

²⁷again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a cock crew.

²⁸They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover;

²⁹Pilate, therefore, went forth unto them, and said, `What accusation do ye bring against this man?’

³⁰they answered and said to him, `If he were not an evil doer, we had not delivered him to thee.’

³¹Pilate, therefore, said to them, `Take ye him — ye — and according to your law judge him;’ the Jews, therefore, said to him, `It is not lawful to us to put any one to death;’

³²that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.

³³Pilate, therefore, entered into the praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to him, `Thou art the King of the Jews?’

^{34 Jesus answered him, `From thyself dost thou say this? or did others say it to thee about me?’}

³⁵Pilate answered, `Am I a Jew? thy nation, and the chief priests did deliver thee up to me; what didst thou?’

³⁶Jesus answered, `My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.’

^{37 Pilate, therefore, said to him, `Art thou then a king?’ Jesus answered, `Thou dost say [it]; because a king I am, I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth, doth hear my voice.’}

³⁸Pilate saith to him, `What is truth?’ and this having said, again he went forth unto the Jews, and saith to them, `I do find no fault in him;

³⁹and ye have a custom that I shall release to you one in the passover; will ye, therefore, [that] I shall release to you the king of the Jews?’

⁴⁰therefore they all cried out again, saying, `Not this one — but Barabbas;’ and Barabbas was a robber. – Aslan International Ministry

And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 7 And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him,

²and the feast of the Jews was nigh — that of tabernacles —

^{3 his brethren, therefore, said unto him, `Remove hence, and go away to Judea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works that thou dost;}

⁴for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things — manifest thyself to the world;’

⁵for not even were his brethren believing in him.

⁶Jesus, therefore, saith to them, `My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;

⁷the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.

⁸Ye — go ye up to this feast; I do not yet go up to this feast, because my time hath not yet been fulfilled;’

^{9 and saying these things to them, he remained in Galilee.}

¹⁰And when his brethren went up, then also he himself went up to the feast, not manifestly, but as in secret;

¹¹the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, `Where is that one?’

¹²and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said — `He is good;’ and others said, `No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;’

¹³no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through fear of the Jews.

¹⁴And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple, and he was teaching,

¹⁵and the Jews were wondering, saying, `How hath this one known letters — not having learned?’

¹⁶Jesus answered them and said, `My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me;

¹⁷if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or — I do speak from myself.

¹⁸`He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;

¹⁹hath not Moses given you the law? and none of you doth the law; why me do ye seek to kill?’

²⁰The multitude answered and said, `Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?’

²¹Jesus answered and said to them, `One work I did, and ye all wonder,

²²because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision — not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers — and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man;

²³if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath?

²⁴judge not according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.’

²⁵Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, `Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill?

²⁶and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?

²⁷but this one — we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.’

²⁸Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, `Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known;

²⁹and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did send me.’

³⁰They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid the hand on him, because his hour had not yet come,

³¹and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said — `The Christ — when he may come — will he do more signs than these that this one did?’

³²The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take him;

³³Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time I am with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me;

³⁴ye will seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye are not able to come.’

³⁵The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, `Whither is this one about to go that we shall not find him? — to the dispersion of the Greeks is he about to go? and to teach the Greeks;

³⁶what is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and ye shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?’

³⁷And in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, `If any one doth thirst, let him come unto me and drink;

³⁸he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;’

^{39 and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.}

⁴⁰Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, `This is truly the Prophet;’

⁴¹others said, `This is the Christ;’ and others said, `Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come?

⁴²Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem — the village where David was — the Christ doth come?’

⁴³A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of him.

⁴⁴And certain of them were willing to seize him, but no one laid hands on him;

⁴⁵the officers came, therefore, unto the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, `Wherefore did ye not bring him?’

⁴⁶The officers answered, `Never so spake man — as this man.’

⁴⁷The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, `Have ye also been led astray?

⁴⁸did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is accursed.’

⁵⁰Nicodemus saith unto them — he who came by night unto him — being one of them,

⁵¹`Doth our law judge the man, if it may not hear from him first, and know what he doth?’

⁵²They answered and said to him, `Art thou also out of Galilee? search and see, that a prophet out of Galilee hath not risen;’

⁵³and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the mount of the Olives. – Aslan International Ministry

Visions of Isaiah son of Amoz, that he hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah – ASLAN International Ministry

The Visions of Isaiah son of Amoz, that he hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

²Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, For Jehovah hath spoken: Sons I have nourished and brought up, And they — they transgressed against Me.

³An ox hath known its owner, And an ass the crib of its master, Israel hath not known, My people hath not understood.

⁴Ah, sinning nation, a people heavy [with] iniquity, A seed of evil doers, sons — corrupters! They have forsaken Jehovah, They have despised the Holy One of Israel, They have gone away backward.

⁵Wherefore are ye stricken any more? Ye do add apostacy! Every head is become diseased, and every heart [is] sick.

⁶From the sole of the foot — unto the head, There is no soundness in it, Wound, and bruise, and fresh smiting! They have not been closed nor bound, Nor have they softened with ointment.

⁷Your land [is] a desolation, your cities burnt with fire, Your ground, before you strangers are consuming it, And a desolation as overthrown by strangers!

⁸And left hath been the daughter of Zion, As a booth in a vineyard, As a lodge in a place of cucumbers — as a city besieged.

⁹Unless Jehovah of Hosts had left to us a remnant, Shortly — as Sodom we had been, To Gomorrah we had been like!

¹⁰Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom, Give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah,

¹¹`Why to Me the abundance of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah, I have been satiated [with] burnt-offerings of rams, And fat of fatlings; And blood of bullocks, and lambs, And he-goats I have not desired.

¹²When ye come in to appear before Me, Who hath required this of your hand, To trample My courts?

¹³Add not to bring in a vain present, Incense — an abomination it [is] to Me, New moon, and sabbath, calling of convocation! Rendure not iniquity — and a restraint!

¹⁴Your new moons and your set seasons hath My soul hated, They have been upon me for a burden, I have been weary of bearing.

¹⁵And in your spreading forth your hands, I hide mine eyes from you, Also when ye increase prayer, I do not hear, Your hands of blood have been full.

¹⁶Wash ye, make ye pure, Turn aside the evil of your doings, from before Mine eyes, Cease to do evil, learn to do good.

¹⁷Seek judgment, make happy the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, strive [for] the widow.

¹⁸Come, I pray you, and we reason, saith Jehovah, If your sins are as scarlet, as snow they shall be white, If they are red as crimson, as wool they shall be!

¹⁹If ye are willing, and have hearkened, The good of the land ye consume,

²⁰And if ye refuse, and have rebelled, [By] the sword ye are consumed, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.

²¹How hath a faithful city become a harlot? I have filled it [with] judgment, Righteousness lodgeth in it — now murderers.

²²Thy silver hath become dross, Thy drink polluted with water.

²³Thy princes [are] apostates, and companions of thieves, Every one loving a bribe, and pursuing rewards, The fatherless they judge not, And the plea of the widow cometh not to them.

²⁴Therefore — the affirmation of the Lord — Jehovah of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I am eased of Mine adversaries, And I am avenged of Mine enemies,

²⁵And I turn back My hand upon thee, And I refine as purity thy dross, And I turn aside all thy tin,

²⁶And I give back thy judges as at the first, And thy counsellors as in the beginning, After this thou art called, `A city of righteousness — a faithful city.’

²⁷Zion in judgment is redeemed, And her captivity in righteousness.

²⁸And the destruction of transgressors and sinners [is] together, And those forsaking Jehovah are consumed.

²⁹For [men] are ashamed because of the oaks That ye have desired, And ye are confounded because of the gardens That ye have chosen.

³⁰For ye are as an oak whose leaf is fading, And as a garden that hath no water.

³¹And the strong hath been for tow, And his work for a spark, And burned have both of them together, And there is none quenching!

After these things there was a feast of the Jews – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 5 After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

²and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep-[gate] a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches,

³in these were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water,

⁴for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.

⁵and there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty and eight years,

⁶him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, he saith to him, `Dost thou wish to become whole?’

⁷The ailing man answered him, `Sir, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another doth go down before me.’

⁸Jesus saith to him, `Rise, take up thy couch, and be walking;’

⁹and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day,

¹⁰the Jews then said to him that hath been healed, `It is a sabbath; it is not lawful to thee to take up the couch.’

¹¹He answered them, `He who made me whole — that one said to me, Take up thy couch, and be walking;’

¹²they questioned him, then, `Who is the man who is saying to thee, Take up thy couch and be walking?’

¹³But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place.

¹⁴After these things, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, `Lo, thou hast become whole; sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.’

¹⁵The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole,

^{16 and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath.}

¹⁷And Jesus answered them, `My Father till now doth work, and I work;’

¹⁸because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

¹⁹Jesus therefore responded and said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth;

²⁰for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder.

²¹`For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth;

²²for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son,

^{23 that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.}

^{24 `Verily, verily, I say to you — He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.}

^{25 `Verily, verily, I say to you — There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live;}

²⁶for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,

²⁷and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man.

²⁸`Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice,

²⁹and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

³⁰`I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

³¹`If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true;

³²another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true;

³³ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth.

³⁴`But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye may be saved;

³⁵he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

³⁶`But I have the testimony greater than John’s, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

³⁷`And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;

³⁸and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe.

³⁹`Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me;

⁴⁰and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life;

⁴¹glory from man I do not receive,

⁴²but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves.

⁴³`I have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will receive;

⁴⁴how are ye able — ye — to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that [is] from God alone ye seek not?

⁴⁵`Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses — in whom ye have hoped;

⁴⁶for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me;

^{47 but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my sayings?’ – Aslan International Ministry}
