But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye may be saved; he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

If I [Jesus] testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true; another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true; ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth.

I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice, and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practiced the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

Verily, verily, I say to you,  There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live; for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself, and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man.

Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.

For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth;  for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son, that all may honor the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.

Jesus therefore responded and said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth; for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder.'

And Jesus answered them, `My Father till now doth work, and I work;'  because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole, and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath.

After these things, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, `Lo, thou hast become whole; sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.'

But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place.

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?'

Jesus saith to him, `Rise, take up thy couch, and be walking;' and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day,  the Jews then said to him that hath been healed, `It is a sabbath; it is not lawful to thee to take up the couch.'

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.'

and there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty and eight years, him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, he saith to him, `Dost thou wish to become whole?'

for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.

After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep-[gate] a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches, in these were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water,

he inquired then of them the hour in which he [the boy]  became better, and they said to him,`Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him;'then the father knew that [it was] in that hour in which Jesus said to him,`Thy son doth live,' and he himself believed, and his whole house;

Jesus saith to him, `Be going on; thy son doth live.' And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and was going on, and he now going down, his servants met him, and told, saying -- `Thy child doth live;'

The courtier saith unto him, `Sir, come down before my child die;'

Jesus then said unto him, `If signs and wonders ye may not see, ye will not believe.'

he, having heard that Jesus is come out of Judea to Galilee, went away unto him, and was asking him that he may come down and may heal his son, for he was about to die.

Jesus came, therefore, again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine, and there was a certain courtier, whose son was ailing in Capernaum,

when then, he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all things that he did in Jerusalem in the feast, for they also went to the feast.

And after the two days he went forth thence, and went away to Galilee, for Jesus himself testified that a prophet in his own country shall not have honour;

and said to the woman,`No more because of thy speaking do we believe; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly the Saviour of the world, the Christ.'

 and many more did believe because of his word,

When, then, the Samaritans came unto him, they were asking him to remain with them, and he remained there two days; and many more did believe because of his word,
