| 05:01 |
After these-things there-was a-feast of-the Jews ... |
| |
And stepped-up Jesus into Jerusalem. |
| 05:02 |
There-is now into Jerusalem by the sheep-gate a-pool, ... |
| |
the one being called in Hebrew Bethzatha, having five porticos. |
| 05:03 |
In these were laying down a multitude of ones being ill, blind, lame, dried. |
| 05:04 |
[For an angel at times came down into the pool and stirred the water, ... |
| |
then who first entered after the stirring of the water, was healed of whatever time he was held tight by a disease.] |
| 05:05 |
And there was a certain man there, ... |
| |
thirty and eight years, ... |
| |
having been in to-the weakness of-him. |
| 05:06 |
Jesus seeing this man lying down, ... |
| |
and already knowing how much time he has been like this, ... |
| |
he-says to-him, ... "Do-you-want well to-become?" |
| 05:07 |
The weak-one answered him, ... "Lord, a man not I-have, ..." |
| |
"that when the water is agitated, ..." |
| |
"he-may-put me into the pool." |
| |
"But while I am-coming, ..." |
| |
"another before me goes-down." |
| 05:08 |
Jesus says to him, ... "Rise, take your mat and walk around." |
| 05:09 |
And immediately the man became healthly. |
| |
And he took his mat and was walking around. |
| |
It-was yet a Sabbath in that the day! |
| 05:10 |
Therefore the Jews were saying to the one having been healed, ... "It is a Sabbath!" |
| |
"And it is not lawful for you to carry your mat." |
| 05:11 |
But the one answered them, ... "The one who made me healthy, that one said to me, ..." |
| |
"Take up your mat and walk around." |
| 05:12 |
They asked him, ... "Who is the man telling you, ...'Take it up and walk around' "? |
| 05:13 |
But the one having been healed did not know who it is. |
| |
For the Jesus slipped out, a crowd being in the place. |
| 05:14 |
After these things, Jesus finds him in the temple and said to him, ... "Look, you have become healthy! Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you." |
| 05:15 |
The man went away and reported to the Jews that Jesus is the one having made him healthy. |
| 05:16 |
And because of this the Jews persecuted Jesus, ... |
| |
because he was doing these things on a Sabbath. |
| 05:17 |
But Jesus answered them, ... "My father is now working, and I am working (on a Sabbath)." |
| 05:18 |
Therefore because of this, the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him. |
| |
Because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but also, ... |
| |
he was saying his own Father is God, making himself equal to God. |
