Chapter 5

Jesus Heals a Lame Man

Afterward Jesus returned to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish holy days

Inside the city, near the Sheep Gate, was the Pool of Bethesda

With five covered porches. Crowds of sick people—blind, lame or

Paralyzed—lay on the porches. One of the men lying there had been

Sick for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him and knew that he had

Been ill for a long time, he asked him, "Would you like to get well?"

"I can't, sir," the sick man said. "I have no one to put me in the

Pool when the water bubbles up. Someone else always gets there ahead

Of me." Jesus told him, "Stand up, pick up your mat and walk."

Instantly the man was healed! He rolled up his sleeping mat and began

Walking! But this miracle happened on the Sabbath, so the Jewish

Leaders objected. They said to the man who was cured, "You can't work

On the Sabbath. The law doesn't allow you to carry that sleeping mat

" But he replied, "The man who healed me told me, 'Pick up your mat

And walk.'" "Who said such a thing as that?" they demanded. The man

Didn't know, for Jesus had disappeared into the crowd. But afterward

Jesus found him in the temple and told him, "Now you are well. So

Stop sinning, or something even worse may happen

To you." Then the man went and told the Jewish

Leaders that it was Jesus who had healed him

Jesus Claims to be the Son of God

So the Jewish leaders began harassing Jesus for breaking the Sabbath

Rules. But Jesus replied, "My Father is always working, and so am I

" So the Jewish leaders tried all the harder to find a way to kill

Him, for he not only broke the Sabbath, he called God his Father

Thereby making himself equal with God. So Jesus explained, "I tell

You the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what

He sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also

Does. For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is

Doing. In fact, the Father will show him how to do even greater works

Than healing this man. Then you will truly be astonished! For just

As the Father gives life to those he raises from the dead, so the

Son gives life to anyone he wants. In addition, the Father judges no

One. Instead, he has given the Son absolute authority to judge, so

That everyone will honor the Son just as they honor the Father

Anyone who does not honor the Son is certainly not honoring the

Father who sent him. I tell you the truth, those who listen to my

Message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They

Will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already

Passed from death into life. And I assure you that the time is

Coming—indeed it's here now—when the dead will hear my voice, the

Voice of the Son of God, and those who listen will live. The Father

Has life in himself, and he has granted this same life-giving

Power to his Son. And he has given him authority to judge everyone

Because he is the Son of Man. Don't be so surprised! Indeed, the

Time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the

Voice of God's Son, and they will rise again. Those who have done

Good will rise to experience eternal life, and those who have

Continued in evil will rise to experience judgment. I can do nothing

On my own. I judge as God tells me. Therefore my judgment is just

Because I carry out the will of the one who sent me, not my own will

Witnesses to Jesus

If I were to testify on my own behalf, my testimony would not be

Valid. But someone else is also testifying about me, and I assure

You that everything he says about me is true. In fact, you sent

Investigators to listen to John the Baptist, and his testimony about

Me was true. Of course, I have no need of human witnesses, but I

Say these things so that you might be saved. John was like a burning

And shining lamp, and you were excited for a while about his message

But I have a greater witness than John—my teachings and my miracles

The Father gave me these works to accomplish, and they prove that

He sent me. And the Father who sent me has testified about me

Himself. You have never heard his voice or seen him face to face

And you do not have his message in your hearts, because you do not

Believe me, the one he sent to you. You search the Scriptures because

You think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!

Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life. Your approval

Means nothing to me, because I know you don't have God's love within

You. For I have come to you in my Father's name, and you have

Rejected me! Yet if others come in their own name, you gladly welcome

Them. No wonder you can't believe! For you gladly honor each other

But you don't care about the honor that comes from the one who alone

Is God. Yet it isn't I who will accuse you before the Father. Moses

Will accuse you—yes, Moses, in whom you put your hopes!

If you really believed Moses, you would believe me

Because he wrote about me. But since you don'

T believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?
