[5:15] The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. [5:16] For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath. [5:17] But Jesus answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too." [5:18] For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God. [5:19] Jesus therefore answered them, "Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise. [5:20] For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel. [5:21] For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires. [5:22] For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son, [5:23] that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.
[5:24] "Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. [5:25] Most certainly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those who hear will live. [5:26] For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself. [5:27] He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man. [5:28] Don't marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice, [5:29] and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment. [5:30] I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I don't seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.
[5:31] "If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid. [5:32] It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true. [5:33] You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. [5:34] But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved. [5:35] He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. [5:36] But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me. [5:37] The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form. [5:38] You don't have his word living in you; because you don't believe him whom he sent.
[5:39] "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me. [5:40] Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life. [5:41] I don't receive glory from men. [5:42] But I know you, that you don't have God's love in yourselves. [5:43] I have come in my Father's name, and you don't receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. [5:44] How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don't seek the glory that comes from the only God?
[5:45] "Don't think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope. [5:46] For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me. [5:47] But if you don't believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
[6:1] After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias. [6:2] A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick. [6:3] Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples. [6:4] Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. [6:5] Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?" [6:6] This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
[6:7] Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may receive a little."
[6:8] One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him, [6:9] "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?"
[6:10] Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. [6:11] Jesus took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down; likewise also of the fish as much as they desired. [6:12] When they were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost." [6:13] So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten. [6:14] When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, "This is truly the prophet who comes into the world." [6:15] Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
[6:16] When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, [6:17] and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them. [6:18] The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing. [6:19] When therefore they had rowed about [twenty-five or thirty stadia,] they saw Jesus walking on the sea,[*] and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid. [6:20] But he said to them, "[It is I]. Don't be afraid." [6:21] They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
