Walks and Words of Jesus: A Paragraph Harmony of the Four Evangelists
Bible. Gospels -- Harmonies, English
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep _market_ a pool, which
is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these
lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered,
waiting for the moving of the water. 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.
And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight
years. 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 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. Jesus saith unto him,
Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked:
and on the same day was the sabbath.
The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It it the Sabbath day:
it is not lawful for thee to carry _thy_ bed. He answered them, He that
made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed and walk. Then
asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed,
and walk? And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had
conveyed himself away, a multitude being in _that_ place. Afterwards
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.
The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made
him whole. And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to
slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. But Jesus
answered them,
My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
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. Then answered Jesus and said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of
himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things
soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. For the
Father loveth the Son and sheweth him all things that himself
doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye
may marvel. For as the Father raises up the dead, and
quickeneth _them_; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment
unto the Son; that all _men_ should honor the Son, even as
they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth
not the Father which hath sent him.
