5 After meta this houtos there was eimi a festival heortē of the ho Jews Ioudaios, and kai Jesus Iēsous went up anabainō to eis Jerusalem Hierosolyma. ² Now de in en · ho Jerusalem Hierosolyma by epi the ho Sheep probatikos Gate there is eimi a pool kolymbēthra, in Hebrew Hebraisti · ho called epilegō Bethesda, having echō five pente covered stoa colonnades . ³ In en these houtos lay katakeimai a number plēthos of ho disabled astheneō people — blind typhlos, lame chōlos, and paralyzed xēros. ⁵ One tis man anthrōpos who was eimi · de there ekei had been echō an invalid astheneia for thirty-eight triakonta · kai years etos. · ho ⁶ When Jesus Iēsous saw him houtos · ho lying katakeimai there and kai learned ginōskō that hoti he had echō been in that condition for a long polys time chronos already ēdē, he said legō to him autos, “ Do you want thelō to be ginomai healed hygiēs?” ⁷ The ho sick man astheneō answered apokrinomai him autos, “ Sir kyrios, I have echō no ou one anthrōpos to hina put ballō me egō into eis the ho pool kolymbēthra when hotan the ho water hydōr is stirred tarassō up , but de while en hos I egō am on my way erchomai someone allos else steps down katabainō ahead pro of me egō.” ⁸ Jesus Iēsous said legō to him autos, · ho “ Get egeirō up , pick airō up · ho your sy mat krabattos and kai walk peripateō.” ⁹ And kai immediately eutheōs the ho man anthrōpos was ginomai healed hygiēs, and kai he picked airō up · ho his autos mat krabattos and kai started walking peripateō. Now de that ekeinos day hēmera was eimi a Sabbath sabbaton. · ho ¹⁰ So oun the ho Jews Ioudaios said legō to the ho man who had been healed therapeuō, “ It is eimi the Sabbath sabbaton, and kai it is not ou lawful for you sy to carry airō · ho your sy mat krabattos. ¹¹ But de he ho answered apokrinomai them autos, “ The ho man ekeinos who made poieō me egō well hygiēs said legō to me egō, ‘ Pick airō up · ho your sy mat krabattos and kai walk peripateō.’” ¹² They questioned erōtaō him autos, “ Who tis is eimi the ho man anthrōpos who ho said legō to you sy, ‘ Pick airō up your mat and kai walk peripateō’?” ¹³ However de, the ho man who had been healed iaomai did not ou know oida who tis it was eimi, · ho for gar Jesus Iēsous had slipped ekneuō away , there being eimi a crowd ochlos in en that ho place topos. ¹⁴ Later meta on houtos Jesus Iēsous found heuriskō him autos · ho in en the ho temple hieron and kai said legō to him autos, “ See ide, you have been ginomai healed hygiēs! Do hamartanō not sin hamartanō any mēketi longer , so hina that nothing mē worse cheirōn happens ginomai to you sy.” ¹⁵ The ho man anthrōpos went aperchomai away and kai told anangellō the ho Jews Ioudaios that hoti it was eimi Jesus Iēsous who ho had made poieō him autos well hygiēs. ¹⁶ And kai this is why dia the ho Jews Ioudaios were persecuting diōkō · ho Jesus Iēsous, because hoti he was doing poieō these houtos things on en the Sabbath sabbaton. ¹⁷ But de Jesus ho answered apokrinomai them autos, · ho “ My egō Father patēr has been working ergazomai until heōs now arti, and I kagō also am working ergazomai.” ¹⁸ This was why dia the ho Jews Ioudaios were seeking zēteō all the more mallon to kill apokteinō him autos, because hoti he not ou only monon used to break lyō the ho Sabbath sabbaton, but alla he legō also kai was calling legō God theos his own idios Father patēr, · ho thus making poieō himself heautou equal isos with ho God theos. ¹⁹ Answering apokrinomai, then oun, · ho Jesus Iēsous · kai said legō to them autos, “ I tell legō you hymeis the solemn amēn truth amēn, the ho Son hyios can dynamai do poieō nothing oudeis on apo his heautou own , but only ean what tis he sees blepō the ho Father patēr doing poieō; for gar whatever hos the Father ekeinos does poieō, · kai the ho Son hyios is doing poieō likewise homoiōs. ²⁰ For gar the ho Father patēr loves phileō the ho Son hyios and kai shows deiknymi him autos everything pas that hos he autos is doing poieō; and kai he will show deiknymi him autos greater megas works ergon than these houtos, and hina you hymeis will be amazed thaumazō. ²¹ For gar as hōsper the ho Father patēr raises egeirō the ho dead nekros and kai gives them life zōiopoieō, so houtōs also kai the ho Son hyios gives life to zōiopoieō those hos he chooses thelō. ²² Furthermore oude gar, the ho Father patēr judges krinō no oudeis one , but alla has given didōmi · ho all pas judgment krisis to the ho Son hyios, ²³ so hina that everyone pas should honor timaō the ho Son hyios just kathōs as they honor timaō the ho Father patēr. The ho one who does not mē honor timaō the ho Son hyios does not ou honor timaō the ho Father patēr who ho sent pempō him autos. ²⁴ I tell legō you hymeis the solemn amēn truth amēn, the ho one who hears akouō · ho my egō message logos and kai believes pisteuō the ho one who sent pempō me egō has echō eternal aiōnios life zōē and kai will erchomai not ou come erchomai into eis judgment krisis, but alla has passed metabainō from ek · ho death thanatos to eis · ho life zōē.

²⁵ “ I tell legō you hymeis the solemn amēn truth amēn, the hour hōra is coming erchomai and kai is eimi now nyn here, when hote the ho dead nekros will hear akouō the ho voice phōnē of the ho Son hyios of ho God theos, and kai those ho who hear akouō will live zaō. ²⁶ For gar as hōsper the ho Father patēr has echō life zōē in en himself heautou, so houtōs also kai has he granted didōmi the ho Son hyios to have echō life zōē in en himself heautou; ²⁷ and kai he has given didōmi him autos authority exousia to execute poieō judgment krisis because hoti he is eimi the Son hyios of Man anthrōpos. ²⁸ Do not mē be amazed thaumazō at this houtos, because hoti the hour hōra is coming erchomai in en which hos all pas who ho are in en their ho graves mnēmeion will hear akouō · ho his autos voice phōnē ²⁹ and kai will come ekporeuomai out — those ho who have done poieō · ho good agathos, to eis a resurrection anastasis unto life zōē, and de those ho who have practiced prassō · ho evil phaulos, to eis a resurrection anastasis unto condemnation krisis. ³⁰ I egō can dynamai do poieō nothing oudeis on apo my own emautou; I judge krinō only as kathōs I hear akouō, and kai · ho my emos judgment krisis · ho is eimi just dikaios because hoti I seek zēteō not ou · ho my own emos will thelēma · ho but alla the ho will thelēma of ho him who sent pempō me egō.

³¹ “ If ean I egō bear witness martyreō about peri myself emautou, · ho my egō testimony martyria is eimi not ou deemed true alēthēs. ³² There is eimi another allos who ho bears witness martyreō about peri me egō, and kai I know oida that hoti the ho witness martyria that hos he bears martyreō about peri me egō is eimi true alēthēs. ³³ You hymeis have sent apostellō messengers to pros John Iōannēs, and kai he has borne witness martyreō to the ho truth alētheia. ³⁴ ( Not ou that I egō · de accept lambanō such para human anthrōpos · ho testimony martyria, but alla I say legō these houtos things so hina that you hymeis may be saved sōzō.) ³⁵ He ekeinos was eimi a ho lamp lychnos that ho was burning kaiō and kai giving light phainō, and de you hymeis were willing thelō for pros a time hōra to rejoice agalliaō in en · ho his autos light phōs. ³⁶ But de I egō have echō a ho witness martyria greater megas than that ho of John Iōannēs; for gar the ho works ergon that hos the ho Father patēr has given didōmi me egō to hina complete teleioō, the ho very autos works ergon that hos I am doing poieō, bear witness martyreō about peri me egō that hoti the ho Father patēr has sent apostellō me egō. ³⁷ And kai the ho Father patēr who sent pempō me egō has himself ekeinos borne witness martyreō about peri me egō. His autos voice phōnē you have never pōpote heard akouō, his autos form eidos you have never oute seen horaō, ³⁸ and kai · ho his autos word logos you do not ou have echō residing menō in en you hymeis, because hoti you hymeis do pisteuō not ou believe pisteuō the houtos one ekeinos whom hos he sent apostellō.

³⁹ “ You study eraunaō the ho Scriptures graphē because hoti you hymeis think dokeō that by en them autos you will have echō eternal aiōnios life zōē; and kai it is eimi they ekeinos that ho bear witness martyreō about peri me egō, ⁴⁰ but kai you refuse ou to come erchomai to pros me egō that hina you may have echō life zōē. ⁴¹ I do lambanō not ou accept lambanō praise doxa from para people anthrōpos, ⁴² but alla I know ginōskō you hymeis—I know that hoti you do echō not ou have echō the ho love agapē of ho God theos in en you heautou. ⁴³ I egō have come erchomai in en the ho name onoma of ho my egō Father patēr and kai you do not ou accept lambanō me egō. If ean someone allos else comes erchomai in en · ho his own idios name onoma, · ho him ekeinos you will accept lambanō. ⁴⁴ How pōs can dynamai you hymeis believe pisteuō, when you accept lambanō praise doxa from para one allēlōn another but kai do zēteō not ou seek zēteō the ho praise doxa that ho comes from para the ho only monos God theos? ⁴⁵ Do not mē think dokeō that hoti I egō will accuse katēgoreō you hymeis before pros the ho Father patēr; the ho one who accuses katēgoreō you hymeis is eimi Moses Mōysēs, on eis whom hos you hymeis have set elpizō your hope . ⁴⁶ If ei you believed pisteuō Moses Mōysēs, you would an believe pisteuō me egō, for gar he ekeinos wrote graphō about peri me egō. ⁴⁷ But de if ei you do pisteuō not ou believe pisteuō · ho his ekeinos writings gramma, how pōs will you believe pisteuō · ho my emos words rhēma?”

6 After meta this houtos Jesus Iēsous went aperchomai to · ho the other peran side of the ho Sea thalassa of ho Galilee Galilaia (also called the Sea of ho Tiberias Tiberias). ² A large polys crowd ochlos was following akoloutheō · de him autos because hoti they saw theōreō the ho miraculous signs sēmeion that hos he was performing poieō on epi those ho who were sick astheneō. ³ Jesus Iēsous went anerchomai up · de on eis the ho mountainside oros, and kai he sat down kathēmai there ekei with meta · ho his autos disciples mathētēs. ⁴ ( Now de the ho Passover pascha, the ho great festival heortē of the ho Jews Ioudaios, was eimi at hand engys.) ⁵ When Jesus Iēsous lifted epairō up his ho eyes ophthalmos · ho and kai saw theaomai that hoti a large polys crowd ochlos was coming erchomai toward pros him autos, he said legō to pros Philip Philippos, “ Where pothen can we buy agorazō bread artos so hina that these people houtos may eat esthiō?” ⁶ He said legō this houtos · de to test peirazō him autos, because gar he himself autos knew oida what tis he was about mellō to do poieō. ⁷ Philip Philippos answered apokrinomai him autos, · ho “ Two hundred diakosioi denarii dēnarion worth of bread artos is not ou enough arkeō for them autos, that hina each hekastos one may receive lambanō a tis little brachus.” ⁸ One heis of ek · ho his autos disciples mathētēs, Andrew Andreas, · ho Simon Simōn Peter’ s Petros brother adelphos, said legō to him autos, ⁹ “ There is eimi a little paidarion boy here hōde who hos has echō five pente barley krithinos loaves artos and kai two dyo fish opsarion, but alla what tis are eimi they houtos for eis so many tosoutos?” ¹⁰ Jesus Iēsous said legō, · ho “ Have poieō the ho people anthrōpos sit anapiptō down .” ( There was eimi · de plenty polys of grass chortos in en that ho place topos.) So oun the ho men anēr sat anapiptō down , about hōs five thousand pentakischilioi · ho in number arithmos. ¹¹ Then oun Jesus Iēsous took lambanō the ho loaves artos, · ho and kai after he had given eucharisteō thanks , distributed diadidōmi them to those ho who were sitting anakeimai down ; and kai he did the same homoiōs with ek the ho fish opsarion, as much hosos as they wanted thelō. ¹² And de when hōs the people had eaten empiplēmi their fill , he said legō to ho his autos disciples mathētēs, “ Gather synagō up the ho leftover perisseuō pieces klasma, so hina that nothing mē tis will go to waste apollymi.” ¹³ So oun they gathered synagō them up and kai filled gemizō twelve dōdeka baskets kophinos with broken klasma pieces of ek the ho five pente barley krithinos loaves artos · ho that hos were left perisseuō over by those ho who had eaten bibrōskō. ¹⁴ So oun when the ho people anthrōpos saw the miraculous sign sēmeion that hos Jesus had performed poieō, they began to say legō, “ This houtos is eimi truly alēthōs the ho prophet prophētēs who ho was to come erchomai into eis the ho world kosmos.” ¹⁵ Therefore oun when Jesus Iēsous realized ginōskō that hoti they were about mellō to come erchomai and kai take harpazō him autos by force to hina make poieō him king basileus, he autos withdrew anachōreō again palin up eis the ho mountainside oros alone monos.

¹⁶ Now de when hōs evening opsia had come ginomai, his autos disciples mathētēs went katabainō down · ho to epi the ho lake thalassa, ¹⁷ · kai got embainō into eis a boat ploion and started erchomai across peran the ho sea thalassa to eis Capernaum Kapharnaoum. · kai It had ginomai by then ēdē become ginomai dark skotia, and kai Jesus Iēsous had not oupō yet come erchomai to pros them autos. · ho ¹⁸ The ho sea thalassa was getting rough diegeirō because a strong megas wind anemos had started to blow pneō. ¹⁹ When they had rowed elaunō about hōs three or four miles stadion, they saw theōreō · ho Jesus Iēsous walking peripateō on epi the ho lake thalassa and kai coming ginomai near engys the ho boat ploion, and kai they were terrified phobeomai. ²⁰ But de he ho said legō to them autos, “ It is eimi I egō; do not mē be afraid phobeomai.” ²¹ Then oun they were glad thelō to take lambanō him autos into eis the ho boat ploion, and kai at once eutheōs the ho boat ploion reached ginomai the ho shore gē toward eis which hos they were going hypagō.

²² On the ho next epaurion day the ho crowd ochlos · ho was standing histēmi on the other peran side of the ho lake thalassa. They knew that hoti only ei one heis boat ploiarion had been eimi there ekei, and kai that hoti Jesus Iēsous had not ou gotten syneiserchomai into eis the ho boat ploion with · ho his autos disciples mathētēs, · ho but alla that the ho disciples mathētēs had left aperchomai without monos him autos. ²³ However, other allos boats ploion from ek Tiberias Tiberias had come erchomai ashore near engys the ho place topos where hopou they had eaten esthiō the ho bread artos after the ho Lord kyrios had given thanks eucharisteō. ²⁴ So oun when hote the ho crowd ochlos realized that hoti Jesus Iēsous was eimi not ou there ekei, nor oude · ho his autos disciples mathētēs, they autos got embainō into eis the ho boats ploiarion and kai went erchomai to eis Capernaum Kapharnaoum looking zēteō for · ho Jesus Iēsous.

²⁵ And kai when they found heuriskō him autos on the other peran side of the ho lake thalassa, they said legō to him autos, “ Rabbi rhabbi, when pote did you come ginomai here hōde?” ²⁶ Jesus Iēsous responded apokrinomai to them autos, · ho · kai saying legō, “ I tell legō you hymeis the solemn amēn truth amēn, you are not ou looking zēteō for me egō because hoti you saw miraculous sēmeion signs , but alla because hoti you ate esthiō the ho loaves artos and kai had all you wanted chortazō. ²⁷ Do not mē work ergazomai for the ho food brōsis that ho perishes apollymi, but alla for the ho food brōsis that ho lasts menō for eis eternal aiōnios life zōē, which hos the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos will give didōmi you hymeis; for gar on him houtos God theos the ho Father patēr has set sphragizō his seal .” · ho ²⁸ Therefore oun they said legō to pros him autos, “ What tis must we do poieō to hina carry ergazomai out the ho works ergon · ho God theos requires?” ²⁹ Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai, · ho · kai saying legō to them autos, “ This houtos is eimi the ho work ergon that ho God theos requires, that hina you believe pisteuō in eis him whom hos he ekeinos has sent apostellō.” ³⁰ Then oun they said legō to him autos, “ So oun what tis miraculous sign sēmeion will you sy perform poieō that hina we may see it and kai believe pisteuō in you sy? What tis will you do ergazomai? ³¹ · ho Our hēmeis fathers patēr ate esthiō · ho manna manna in en the ho wilderness erēmos; as kathōs it is eimi written graphō, ‘ He gave didōmi them autos bread artos from ek · ho heaven ouranos to eat esthiō.’” ³² Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos, · ho “ I tell legō you hymeis the solemn amēn truth amēn, it was not ou Moses Mōysēs who gave didōmi you hymeis the ho bread artos from ek · ho heaven ouranos, but alla it is · ho my egō Father patēr who gives didōmi you hymeis the ho true alēthinos bread artos from ek · ho heaven ouranos. · ho ³³ For gar the ho bread artos of ho God theos is eimi that ho which comes katabainō down from ek · ho heaven ouranos and kai gives didōmi life zōē to the ho world kosmos.” ³⁴ So oun they said legō to pros him autos, “ Sir kyrios, give didōmi us hēmeis this houtos bread artos from now pantote on !” · ho

³⁵ Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos, · ho “ I egō am eimi the ho bread artos of ho life zōē; the ho one who comes erchomai to pros me egō will never ou mē go hungry peinaō, and kai the ho one who believes pisteuō in eis me egō will never ou mē be thirsty dipsaō again pōpote. ³⁶ But alla as I told legō you hymeis, · kai you have seen horaō me egō and kai still you do not ou believe pisteuō. ³⁷ All pas that hos the ho Father patēr gives didōmi me egō will come hēkō to pros me egō, and kai anyone ho who comes erchomai to pros me egō I will never ou mē turn ekballō away exō. ³⁸ For hoti I have come katabainō down from apo · ho heaven ouranos, not ou to hina do poieō · ho my own emos will thelēma · ho but alla to do the ho will thelēma of ho him who sent pempō me egō. ³⁹ And de this houtos is eimi the ho will thelēma of the ho one who sent pempō me egō: that hina of all pas that hos he has given didōmi me egō I should lose apollymi none mē but alla raise anistēmi them autos up on en the ho last eschatos day hēmera. ⁴⁰ For gar this houtos is eimi the ho will thelēma of ho my egō Father patēr, that hina everyone pas who ho considers theōreō the ho Son hyios and kai comes to believe pisteuō in eis him autos should have echō eternal aiōnios life zōē, and kai I egō will raise anistēmi him autos up on en the ho last eschatos day hēmera.”

⁴¹ Then oun the ho Jews Ioudaios began to grumble gongyzō about peri him autos because hoti he said legō, “ I egō am eimi the ho bread artos that ho came katabainō down from ek · ho heaven ouranos.” ⁴² And kai they were saying legō, “ Is eimi this houtos not ou Jesus Iēsous, the ho son hyios of Joseph Iōsēph, whose hos father patēr and kai mother mētēr we hēmeis know oida? · ho · ho How pōs can he now nyn say legō, ‘ I have come down katabainō from ek · ho heaven ouranos’?” ⁴³ Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai · kai them autos, saying legō, “ Do not mē keep grumbling gongyzō among meta yourselves allēlōn. ⁴⁴ No oudeis one can dynamai come erchomai to pros me egō unless ean mē the ho Father patēr who ho sent pempō me egō draws him autos; and I kagō will raise anistēmi him autos up on en the ho last eschatos day hēmera. ⁴⁵ It stands eimi written graphō in en the ho prophets prophētēs, ‘ And kai they will all pas be eimi taught didaktos by God theos.’ Everyone pas who ho has heard akouō the ho Father patēr and kai learned manthanō from para him comes erchomai to pros me egō. ⁴⁶ Not ou that hoti anyone tis has seen horaō the ho Father patēr, except ei mē the ho one who is eimi from para · ho God theos; he houtos has seen horaō the ho Father patēr. ⁴⁷ I tell legō you hymeis the solemn amēn truth amēn, the ho one who believes pisteuō has echō eternal aiōnios life zōē. ⁴⁸ I egō am eimi the ho bread artos of ho life zōē. ⁴⁹ · ho Your hymeis fathers patēr ate esthiō manna manna in en the ho wilderness erēmos, · ho and kai they died apothnēskō. ⁵⁰ But here houtos is eimi the ho bread artos that ho comes down katabainō from ek · ho heaven ouranos, so hina that one tis may eat esthiō of ek it autos and kai not mē die apothnēskō. ⁵¹ I egō am eimi the ho living zaō bread artos · ho that ho came down katabainō from ek · ho heaven ouranos.
