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

¹ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܥܕܥܕܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܤܠܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܀

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

²ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܡܢ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܕܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܥܒܪܐܝܬ ܒܝܬ ܚܤܕܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܚܡܫܐ ܐܤܛܘܝܢ ܀

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

³ܘܒܗܠܝܢ ܪܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܟܪܝܗܐ ܘܤܡܝܐ ܘܚܓܝܤܐ ܘܝܒܝܫܐ ܘܡܤܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܙܘܥܐ ܕܡܝܐ ܀

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.]

⁴ܡܠܐܟܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܙܒܢ ܙܒܢ ܢܚܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܠܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܘܡܙܝܥ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܝܐ ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܩܕܡܝܐ ܢܚܬ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܙܘܥܐ ܕܡܝܐ ܡܬܚܠܡ ܗܘܐ ܟܠ ܟܐܒܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܀

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

⁵ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܡܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܕܬܠܬܝܢ ܘܬܡܢܐ ܫܢܝܢ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܘܪܗܢܐ ܀

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?

⁶ܠܗܢܐ ܚܙܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܪܡܐ ܘܝܕܥ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܬܬܚܠܡ ܀

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.

⁷ܥܢܐ ܗܘ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܝ ܠܝܬ ܠܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܡܐ ܕܐܬܬܙܝܥܘ ܡܝܐ ܢܪܡܝܢܝ ܒܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܥܕ ܐܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝ ܢܚܬ ܀

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

⁸ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܘܡ ܫܩܘܠ ܥܪܤܟ ܘܗܠܟ ܀

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

⁹ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܐܬܚܠܡ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܘ ܘܩܡ ܫܩܠ ܥܪܤܗ ܘܗܠܟ ܘܗܘ ܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܫܒܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܀

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

¹⁰ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܠܗܘ ܕܐܬܐܤܝ ܫܒܬܐ ܗܝ ܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܟ ܕܬܫܩܘܠ ܥܪܤܟ ܀

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

¹¹ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܥܒܕܢܝ ܚܠܝܡܐ ܗܘ ܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܕܫܩܘܠ ܥܪܤܟ ܘܗܠܟ ܀

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

¹²ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܟ ܕܫܩܘܠ ܥܪܤܟ ܘܗܠܟ ܀

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

¹³ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܬܐܤܝ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܓܢܝ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܒܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܕܘܟܬܐ ܗܝ ܀

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.

¹⁴ܒܬܪ ܙܒܢ ܐܫܟܚܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܗܐ ܚܠܝܡ ܐܢܬ ܬܘܒ ܠܐ ܬܚܛܐ ܕܠܡܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܡܕܡ ܕܒܝܫ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܀

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

¹⁵ܘܐܙܠ ܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܕܐܚܠܡܗ ܀

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

¹⁶ܘܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܪܕܦܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܩܛܠܗ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܗܘܐ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܀

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

¹⁷ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܒܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܀

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.

¹⁸ܘܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܠܡܩܛܠܗ ܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܕܫܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܫܒܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܕܥܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܒܘܗܝ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܫܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܥܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܀

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.

¹⁹ܥܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܒܪܐ ܥܒܕ ܡܕܡ ܡܢ ܨܒܘܬ ܢܦܫܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܚܙܐ ܠܐܒܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܒܐ ܥܒܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܦ ܒܪܐ ܐܟܘܬܗ ܥܒܕ ܀

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.

²⁰ܐܒܐ ܓܝܪ ܪܚܡ ܠܒܪܗ ܘܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܡܚܘܐ ܠܗ ܘܕܝܬܝܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܡܚܘܐ ܠܗ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܬܕܡܪܘܢ ܀

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

²¹ܐܝܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܒܐ ܡܩܝܡ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܡܚܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܒܪܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܡܚܐ ܀

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

²²ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܒܐ ܕܐܢ ܠܐܢܫ ܐܠܐ ܟܠܗ ܕܝܢܐ ܝܗܒܗ ܠܒܪܐ ܀

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.

²³ܕܟܠܢܫ ܢܝܩܪ ܠܒܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܐ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܡܝܩܪ ܠܒܪܐ ܠܐ ܡܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܐ ܕܫܕܪܗ ܀

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.

²⁴ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܕܫܡܥ ܡܠܬܝ ܘܡܗܝܡܢ ܠܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܘܠܕܝܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܫܢܝ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܡܘܬܐ ܠܚܝܐ ܀

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.

²⁵ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܬܝܐ ܫܥܬܐ ܐܦ ܗܫܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܡܝܬܐ ܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܠܗ ܕܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܢܚܘܢ ܀

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

²⁶ܐܝܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܐܒܐ ܐܝܬ ܚܝܐ ܒܩܢܘܡܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܦ ܠܒܪܐ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܚܝܐ ܒܩܢܘܡܗ ܀

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

²⁷ܘܐܫܠܛܗ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܦ ܕܝܢܐ ܀

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

²⁸ܕܒܪܗ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܬܬܕܡܪܘܢ ܒܗܕܐ ܕܐܬܝܐ ܫܥܬܐ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܩܒܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܠܗ ܀

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

²⁹ܘܢܦܩܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܛܒܬܐ ܠܩܝܡܬܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܠܩܝܡܬܐ ܕܕܝܢܐ ܀

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.

³⁰ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܡܢ ܨܒܘܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܫܡܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܘܕܝܢܝ ܟܐܝܢ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܨܒܝܢܝ ܐܠܐ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܀

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

³¹ܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܡܤܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܝ ܤܗܕܘܬܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܀

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

³²ܐܚܪܝܢ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܕܡܤܗܕ ܥܠܝ ܘܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܫܪܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܤܗܕܘܬܗ ܕܡܤܗܕ ܥܠܝ ܀

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

³³ܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܕܪܬܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܤܗܕ ܥܠ ܫܪܪܐ ܀

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

³⁴ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܢܐ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܚܘܢ ܀

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

³⁵ܗܘ ܫܪܓܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܕܠܩ ܘܡܢܗܪ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܨܒܝܬܘܢ ܕܬܫܬܒܗܪܘܢ ܕܫܥܬܐ ܒܢܘܗܪܗ ܀

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.

³⁶ܠܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܪܒܐ ܡܢ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܐܒܝ ܕܐܫܠܡ ܐܢܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܤܗܕܝܢ ܥܠܝ ܕܐܒܐ ܫܠܚܢܝ ܀

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,

³⁷ܘܐܒܐ ܕܫܠܚܢܝ ܗܘ ܤܗܕ ܥܠܝ ܠܐ ܩܠܗ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܚܙܘܗ ܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܀

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

³⁸ܘܡܠܬܗ ܠܐ ܡܩܘܝܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܗܘ ܕܗܘ ܫܕܪ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

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

³⁹ܒܨܘ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܒܗܘܢ ܡܤܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܤܗܕܝܢ ܥܠܝ ܀

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

⁴⁰ܘܠܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܐܬܘܢ ܠܘܬܝ ܕܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

⁴¹I do not receive glory from men,

⁴¹ܫܘܒܚܐ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܢܐ ܀

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

⁴²ܐܠܐ ܝܕܥܬܟܘܢ ܕܚܘܒܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܀

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

⁴³ܐܢܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܐܒܝ ܘܠܐ ܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܘܐܢ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܢܐܬܐ ܒܫܡ ܢܦܫܗ ܠܗܘ ܬܩܒܠܘܢ ܀

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

⁴⁴ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܗܝܡܢܘ ܕܫܘܒܚܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܚܕ ܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܡܢ ܚܕ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

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

⁴⁵ܠܡܐ ܤܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܟܠ ܐܢܐ ܩܪܨܝܟܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܐܒܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܕܐܟܠ ܩܪܨܝܟܘܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܗ ܤܒܪܬܘܢ ܀

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

⁴⁶ܐܠܘ ܓܝܪ ܒܡܘܫܐ ܗܝܡܢܬܘܢ ܐܦ ܒܝ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܠܝ ܟܬܒ ܀

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

⁴⁷ܘܐܢ ܠܟܬܒܘܗܝ ܕܗܘ ܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܠܡܠܝ ܕܝܠܝ ܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܀
