4:53. The father therefore knew that it was at the same hour that Jesus
said to him: Thy son liveth. And himself believed, and his whole house.
4:54. This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come
out of Judea. into Galilee.
John Chapter 5
Christ heals on the sabbath the man languishing thirty-eight years. His
discourse upon this occasion.
5:1. After these things was a festival day of the Jews: and Jesus went
up to Jerusalem.
5:2. Now there is at Jerusalem a pond, called Probatica, which in Hebrew
is named Bethsaida, having five porches.
Probatica... That is, the sheep pond; either so called, because the
sheep were washed therein, that were to be offered up in sacrifice in
the temple, or because it was near the sheep gate. That this was a pond
where miracles were wrought is evident from the sacred text; and also
that the water had no natural virtue to heal, as one only of those put
in after the motion of the water was restored to health; for if the
water had the healing quality, the others would have the like benefit,
being put into it about the same time.
5:3. In these lay a great multitude of sick, of blind, of lame, of
withered: waiting for the moving of the water.
5:4. And an angel of the Lord descended at certain times into the pond
and the water was moved. And he that went down first into the pond after
the motion of the water was made whole of whatsoever infirmity he lay
under.
5:5. And there was a certain man there that had been eight and thirty
years under his infirmity.
5:6. Him when Jesus had seen lying, and knew that he had been now a long
time, he saith to him: Wilt thou be made whole?
5:7. The infirm man answered him: Sir, I have no man, when the water is
troubled, to put me into the pond. For whilst I am coming, another goeth
down before me.
5:8. Jesus saith to him: Arise, take up thy bed and walk.
5:9. And immediately the man was made whole: and he took up his bed and
walked. And it was the sabbath that day.
5:10. The Jews therefore said to him that was healed: It is the sabbath.
It is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.
5:11. He answered them: He that made me whole, he said to me: Take up
thy bed and walk.
5:12. They asked him therefore: Who is that man who said to thee: Take
up thy bed and walk?
5:13. But he who was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus went aside
from the multitude standing in the place.
5:14. Afterwards, Jesus findeth him in the temple and saith to him:
Behold thou art made whole: sin no more, lest some worse thing happen to
thee.
5:15. The man went his way and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had
made him whole.
5:16. Therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these
things on the sabbath.
5:17. But Jesus answered them: My Father worketh until now; and I work.
5:18. Hereupon therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because
he did not only break the sabbath but also said God was his Father,
making himself equal to God.
5:19. Then Jesus answered and said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you,
the Son cannot do any thing of himself, but what he seeth the Father
doing: for what things soever he doth, these the Son also doth in like
manner.
