For a messenger at a time went down into the pool, and troubled the water: then he having first stepped in after the troubling of the water became healthy, by whatever malady a long while since he was laid.

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?

The ailing man answered him, 'Sir, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another doth go down before me.'

Jesus saith to him, 'Rise, take up thy couch, and be walking;'

So the Jews said to the man who had been cured, "This is the sabbath, you have no right to be carrying your mat."

He answered them, 'He who made me whole -- that one said to me, Take up thy couch, and be walking;'

they questioned him, then, 'Who is the man who is saying to thee, Take up thy couch and be walking?'

and he that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had slip'd away, by favour of the crowd that was there.

After these things, Jesus findeth him, in the temple, and said unto him - See! thou hast become, well: - No more, be committing sin, lest, some worse thing, do thee befall.

But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now [He has never ceased working], and I too am working.”

So Jesus answered them by saying, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself [of His own accord], unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever things the Father does, the Son [in His turn] also does in the same way.

For the Father dearly loves the Son and shows Him everything that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will be filled with wonder.

Truly I say to you, The man whose ears are open to my word and who has faith in him who sent me, has eternal life; he will not be judged, but has come from death into life.

For just as the Father has life in Himself [and is self-existent], even so He has given to the Son to have life in Himself [and be self-existent].

And he has given him authority to be judge because he is the Son of man.

Do not be surprised at this; for a time is coming when all those who are in the tombs will hear His voice,

and they will come out—those who did good things [will come out] to a resurrection of [new] life, but those who did evil things [will come out] to a resurrection of judgment [that is, to be sentenced].

“I can do nothing on my own initiative or authority. Just as I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just (fair, righteous, unbiased), because I do not seek My own will, but only the will of Him who sent Me.

“If I alone testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.

But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

Ye search the Scriptures, because, ye, think, by them, to have, life age-abiding; and, those Scriptures , are they which bear witness concerning me:

I do not by this seek your applause.

I have come in my Father's name [i.e., by His authority] and you do not accept me. If someone else comes in his own name [i.e., by his own authority], you will accept him.

Do not suppose that I will be the one to accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom you have set your hope,

A large crowd kept following him because they had seen the signs that he was performing by healing the sick.

When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

Philip replied to him, "Two hundred denarii [worth of] bread would not be enough for them, in order that each one could receive a little."

"There is a boy here," said Andrew, another of his disciples, Simon Peter's brother,

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

Jesus said, Let the people be seated. Now there was much grass in that place. And those seated on the grass were about five thousand.

When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

So they gathered them up, and they filled twelve large baskets with pieces from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.

There they got on board a boat, and pushed off to cross the Lake to Capernaum. By this time it had become dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them.

And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.

Then would they have received him into the ship, and the ship was by and by at the land whither they went.

The next day the crowd that stood on the other side of the sea realized that there had been only one small boat there, and that Jesus had not boarded the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone away alone.

Bestow your pains not on the food which perishes, but on the food that remains unto the Life of the Ages--that food which will be the Son of Man's gift to you; for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal."

Then they asked Him, “What are we to do, so that we may habitually be doing the works of God?”

"This," replied Jesus, "is above all the thing that God requires--that you should be believers in Him whom He has sent."

They said, therefore, unto him - What, then, art, thou, doing, by way of sign, that we may see, and believe in thee: what art thou working?

Jesus replied to them, “I am the Bread of Life. The one who comes to Me will never be hungry, and the one who believes in Me [as Savior] will never be thirsty [for that one will be sustained spiritually].

Every thing which the Father gives to me shall come to me, and him that comes to me I will by no means cast out;

Because I have come down from heaven, - Not that I should be doing my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

Now this is the will of the Father who sent me, That every thing which he hath given me I should not be deprived of it, but raise it up at the last day.

Now the Jews began to find fault about Him because of His claiming to be the bread which came down out of Heaven.

They kept asking, "Is not this man Joseph's son? Is he not Jesus, whose father and mother we know? What does he mean by now saying, 'I have come down out of Heaven'?"

Jesus answered, and said unto them - Be not murmuring, one with another:

No one is able to come to me unless he is drawn by the Father who sent me (and I will raise him up on the last day).

It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

When many of His disciples heard this, they said, “This is a difficult and harsh and offensive statement. Who can [be expected to] listen to it?”

But Jesus, [because he] knew within himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, "Does this cause you to be offended?

What then [will you think] if you see the Son of Man ascending to [the realm] where He was before?

But [still] there are some of you who do not believe and have faith.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who did not believe, and who would betray Him.

And he said, For this cause have I said unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it be given unto him of the Father.

and we have come to believe, yes more, we know by experience, that you are the Holy One of God."

"Did not I myself choose you to be the Twelve?" replied Jesus; "and yet, even of you, one is playing the 'Devil's' part."

He was talking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. It was he who was to be false to Jesus--one of the twelve.

And, after these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee; for he was not wishing, in Judaea, to be walking, because the Jews were seeking to slay him.

Then His brothers said to Him; Depart hence, and go into Judea; in order that thy disciples shall see thy works which thou art doing. For no one does anything in secret, and Himself seeks to be public.

For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.

So, Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come [i.e., to be revealed to the world as its Savior], but it is always your time [i.e., they could go to the festival anytime without rousing opposition].

The world cannot hate you [since you are part of it], but it does hate Me because I denounce it and testify that its deeds are evil.

You men go [on] up to the festival, but I am not going up yet [Note: Although "yet" appears in only a few manuscripts, it seems to be the proper idea here], because my time has not yet come. [See verse 6].

But [afterward], when His brothers had gone up to the feast, He went up too, not publicly [with a caravan], but quietly [because He did not want to be noticed].

So the Jews kept looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?”

and there was much disputing about him among the crowd. Some would say, "He is a good man." Others. "No! he is misleading the people." "While I was with them I kept them by the power of thy name which thou hast given me. I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

The Jewish leaders were astonished and remarked, "How can this man be so educated when he has never gone to school?"

Jesus answered them by saying, “My teaching is not My own, but His who sent Me.

If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

The crowd answered, “You have a demon [You are out of Your mind]! Who wants to kill You?”

Jesus answered them, "I performed one [miraculous] deed and you were all amazed by it [i.e., the healing of the crippled man on the Sabbath day. See 5:1-9].

Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?

Do not judge by appearance [superficially and arrogantly], but judge fairly and righteously.”

And lo, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing unto him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?

Yet we know where this man is from; but, when the Christ comes, no one will be able to tell where he is from."

Therefore, Jesus, as he was teaching in the Temple Courts, raised his voice and said: "Yes; you know me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own authority, but he who sent me may be trusted; and him you do not know.

Then they sought to take him by force; but no man laid a hand on him, for his hour had not yet come.

But many from the crowd believed in Him. And they kept saying, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs and exhibit more proofs than this Man?”

The Pharisees heard the multitude saying these things concerning him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent to take him by force.

Then Jesus said, "I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.

You will look for Me, and will not [be able to] find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”

Then the Jewish leaders asked one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we won't be able to find him? Surely he's not going to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?

What does this statement of His mean, ‘You will look for Me, and will not [be able to] find Me; and where I am, you cannot come’?”

On the last and greatest day of the Festival, Jesus, who was standing by, exclaimed: "If any one thirsts, let him come to me, and drink.

This he said of the Spirit which would be given to those who had faith in him: the Spirit had not been given then, because the glory of Jesus was still to come.

and some of them wished to take him by force, but no one laid hands on him.

But this crowd, which does not know the law of Moses, [and especially its oral traditions], is cursed [by God]."

Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)

Is a man judged by our law before it has given him a hearing and has knowledge of what he has done?

They answered him, "Are you from Galilee, too? Search [the Scriptures], and you will see that no prophet will come from Galilee." [Note: They were probably referring to "the prophet" predicted to come by Moses. Deut. 18:15]. {{Most ancient manuscripts do not contain the section from 7:53 through 8:11, or else place it elsewhere in the book.

{Joh 7:538:12: This passage is omitted as ungenuine by Tischendorf and most critical editors of the Greek Testament. It is found in some manuscripts, but not in the most ancient. It is, however, very generally regarded as a genuine relic of the teaching of Christ, though not forming a part of the fourth Gospel. I give it in the text of Tregelles, omitting the words which he incloses in brackets. Tregelles, however, does not suppose it to be genuine.} [And they went each to his house;

Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

But this they said to try him, that they might be able to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

However, when they persisted in questioning Him, He straightened up and said, “He who is without [any] sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”

And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
