John 5-6 (Darby Translation)

John 5

 ¹After these things was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

 ²Now there is in Jerusalem, at the sheepgate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.

 ³In these lay a multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, [awaiting the moving of the water.

 ⁴For an angel descended at a certain season in the pool and troubled the water. Whoever therefore first went in after the troubling of the water became well, whatever disease he laboured under.]

 ⁵But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years.

 ⁶Jesus seeing this [man] lying [there], and knowing that he was [in that state] now a great length of time, says to him, Wouldest thou become well?

 ⁷The infirm [man] answered him, Sir, I have not a man, in order, when the water has been troubled, to cast me into the pool; but while I am coming another descends before me.

 ⁸Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy couch and walk.

 ⁹And immediately the man became well, and took up his couch and walked: and on that day was sabbath.

 ¹⁰The Jews therefore said to the healed [man], It is sabbath, it is not permitted thee to take up thy couch.

 ¹¹He answered them, He that made me well, *he* said to me, Take up thy couch and walk.

 ¹²They asked him [therefore], Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy couch and walk?

 ¹³But he that had been healed knew not who it was, for Jesus had slidden away, there being a crowd in the place.

 ¹⁴After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art become well: sin no more, that something worse do not happen to thee.

 ¹⁵The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

 ¹⁶And for this the Jews persecuted Jesus [and sought to kill him], because he had done these things on sabbath.

 ¹⁷But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto and I work.

 ¹⁸For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.

 ¹⁹Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself save whatever he sees the Father doing: for whatever things *he* does, these things also the Son does in like manner.

 ²⁰For the Father loves the Son and shews him all things which he himself does; and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may wonder.

 ²¹For even as the Father raises the dead and quickens [them], thus the Son also quickens whom he will:

 ²²for neither does the Father judge any one, but has given all judgment to the Son;

 ²³that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who honours not the Son, honours not the Father who has sent him.

 ²⁴Verily, verily, I say unto you, that he that hears my word, and believes him that has sent me, has life eternal, and does not come into judgment, but is passed out of death into life.

 ²⁵Verily, verily, I say unto you, that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that have heard shall live.

 ²⁶For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son also to have life in himself,

 ²⁷and has given him authority to execute judgment [also], because he is Son of man.

 ²⁸Wonder not at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

 ²⁹and shall go forth; those that have practised good, to resurrection of life, and those that have done evil, to resurrection of judgment.

 ³⁰I cannot do anything of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek my will, but the will of him that has sent me.

 ³¹If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true.

 ³²It is another who bears witness concerning me, and I know that the witness which he bears concerning me is true.

 ³³Ye have sent unto John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

 ³⁴But I do not receive witness from man, but I say this that *ye* might be saved.

 ³⁵*He* was the burning and shining lamp, and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

 ³⁶But I have the witness [that is] greater than [that] of John; for the works which the Father has given me that I should complete them, the works themselves which I do, bear witness concerning me that the Father has sent me.

 ³⁷And the Father who has sent me himself has borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor have seen his shape,

 ³⁸and ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom *he* hath sent, him ye do not believe.

 ³⁹Ye search the scriptures, for ye think that in them ye have life eternal, and they it is which bear witness concerning me;

 ⁴⁰and ye will not come to me that ye might have life.

 ⁴¹I do not receive glory from men,

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

 ⁴³I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.

 ⁴⁴How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and seek not the glory which [comes] from God alone?

 ⁴⁵Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] who accuses you, Moses, on whom ye trust;

 ⁴⁶for if ye had believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for he wrote of me.

 ⁴⁷But if ye do not believe his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

John 6

 ¹After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee, [or] of Tiberias,

 ²and a great crowd followed him, because they saw the signs which he wrought upon the sick.

 ³And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there sat with his disciples:

 ⁴but the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

 ⁵Jesus then, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great crowd is coming to him, says to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves that these may eat?

 ⁶But this he said trying him, for he knew what he was going to do.

 ⁷Philip answered him, Loaves for two hundred denarii are not sufficient for them, that each may have some little [portion].

 ⁸One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to him,

 ⁹There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fishes; but this, what is it for so many?

 ¹⁰[And] Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place: the men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.

 ¹¹And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, distributed [them] to those that were set down; and in like manner of the small fishes as much as they would.

 ¹²And when they had been filled, he says to his disciples, Gather together the fragments which are over and above, that nothing may be lost.

 ¹³They gathered [them] therefore together, and filled twelve hand-baskets full of fragments of the five barley loaves, which were over and above to those that had eaten.

 ¹⁴The men therefore, having seen the sign which Jesus had done, said, This is truly the prophet which is coming into the world.

 ¹⁵Jesus therefore knowing that they were going to come and seize him, that they might make [him] king, departed again to the mountain himself alone.

 ¹⁶But when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea,

 ¹⁷and having gone on board ship, they went over the sea to Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not come to them,

 ¹⁸and the sea was agitated by a strong wind blowing.

 ¹⁹Having rowed then about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they see Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the ship; and they were frightened.

 ²⁰But he says to them, It is I: be not afraid.

 ²¹They were willing therefore to receive him into the ship; and immediately the ship was at the land to which they went.

 ²²On the morrow the crowd which stood on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little ship there except that into which his disciples had got, and that Jesus had not gone with his disciples into the ship, but [that] his disciples had gone away alone;

 ²³(but other little ships out of Tiberias came near to the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks;)

 ²⁴when therefore the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, *they* got into the ships, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

 ²⁵And having found him the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when art thou arrived here?

 ²⁶Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me not because ye have seen signs, but because ye have eaten of the loaves and been filled.

 ²⁷Work not [for] the food which perishes, but [for] the food which abides unto life eternal, which the Son of man shall give to you; for him has the Father sealed, [even] God.

 ²⁸They said therefore to him, What should we do that we may work the works of God?

 ²⁹Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom *he* has sent.

 ³⁰They said therefore to him, What sign then doest thou that we may see and believe thee? what dost thou work?

 ³¹Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.

 ³²Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, [It is] not Moses that has given you the bread out of heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

 ³³For the bread of God is he who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.

 ³⁴They said therefore to him, Lord, ever give to us this bread.

 ³⁵[And] Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst at any time.

 ³⁶But I have said to you, that ye have also seen me and do not believe.

 ³⁷All that the Father gives me shall come to me, and him that comes to me I will not at all cast out.

 ³⁸For I am come down from heaven, not that I should do *my* will, but the will of him that has sent me.

 ³⁹And this is the will of him that has sent me, that of all that he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up in the last day.

 ⁴⁰For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, should have life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day.

 ⁴¹The Jews therefore murmured about him, because he said, I am the bread which has come down out of heaven.

 ⁴²And they said, Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then does *he* say, I am come down out of heaven?

 ⁴³Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves.

 ⁴⁴No one can come to me except the Father who has sent me draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day.

 ⁴⁵It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every one that has heard from the Father [himself], and has learned [of him], comes to me;

 ⁴⁶not that any one has seen the Father, except he who is of God, he has seen the Father.

 ⁴⁷Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes [on me] has life eternal.

 ⁴⁸I am the bread of life.

 ⁴⁹Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died.

 ⁵⁰This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.

 ⁵¹I am the living bread which has come down out of heaven: if any one shall have eaten of this bread he shall live for ever; but the bread withal which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

 ⁵²The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How can he give us this flesh to eat?

 ⁵³Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Unless ye shall have eaten the flesh of the Son of man, and drunk his blood, ye have no life in yourselves.

 ⁵⁴He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has life eternal, and I will raise him up at the last day:

 ⁵⁵for my flesh is truly food and my blood is truly drink.

 ⁵⁶He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me and I in him.

 ⁵⁷As the living Father has sent me and I live on account of the Father, *he* also who eats me shall live also on account of me.

 ⁵⁸This is the bread which has come down out of heaven. Not as the fathers ate and died: he that eats this bread shall live for ever.

 ⁵⁹These things he said in [the] synagogue, teaching in Capernaum.

 ⁶⁰Many therefore of his disciples having heard [it] said, This word is hard; who can hear it?

 ⁶¹But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmur concerning this, said to them, Does this offend you?

 ⁶²If then ye see the Son of man ascending up where he was before?

 ⁶³It is the Spirit which quickens, the flesh profits nothing: the words which I have spoken unto you are spirit and are life.

 ⁶⁴But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would deliver him up.

 ⁶⁵And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no one can come to me unless it be given to him from the Father.

 ⁶⁶From that [time] many of his disciples went away back and walked no more with him.

 ⁶⁷Jesus therefore said to the twelve, Will ye also go away?

 ⁶⁸Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast words of life eternal;

 ⁶⁹and we have believed and known that thou art the holy one of God.

 ⁷⁰Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you the twelve? and of you one is a devil.

 ⁷¹Now he spoke of Judas [the son] of Simon, Iscariote, for he [it was who] should deliver him up, being one of the twelve.
