John 5 Flashcards
John 5:1
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
John 5:2
Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
John 5:3
In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
John 5:4
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.
John 5:5
And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
John 5:6
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?
John 5:7
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.
John 5:8
Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
John 5:9
And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
John 5:10
The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
John 5:11
He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
John 5:12
Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
John 5:13
And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
John 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 come unto thee.
John 5:15
The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
John 5:16
And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
John 5:17
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
John 5:18
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.
