1 WYC Aftir these thingis ther was a feeste dai of Jewis, and Jhesus wente vp to Jerusalem. BSB BSB: Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
3 WYC In these lay a greet multitude of sike men, blynde, crokid, and drie, abidynge the mouyng of the watir. BSB BSB: On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.
4 WYC For the aungel `of the Lord cam doun certeyne tymes in to the watir, and the watir was moued; and he that first cam doun in to the sisterne, aftir the mouynge of the watir, was maad hool of what euer sijknesse he was holdun. BSB BSB: Not in the BSB
5 WYC And a man was there, hauynge eiyte and thritti yeer in his sikenesse. BSB BSB: One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
6 WYC And whanne Jhesus hadde seyn hym liggynge, and hadde knowun, that he hadde myche tyme, he seith to hym, Wolt thou be maad hool? BSB BSB: When Jesus saw him lying there and realized that he had spent a long time in this condition, He asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
7 WYC The sijk man answerde to hym, Lord, Y haue no man, that whanne the watir is moued, to putte me `in to the cisterne; for the while Y come, anothir goith doun bifor me. BSB BSB: “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am on my way, someone else goes in before me.”
8 WYC Jhesus seith to hym, Rise vp, take thi bed, and go. BSB BSB: Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”
9 WYC And anoon the man was maad hool, and took vp his bed, and wente forth. And it was sabat in that dai. BSB BSB: Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,
10 WYC Therfor the Jewis seiden to him that was maad hool, It is sabat, it is not leueful to thee, to take awei thi bed. BSB BSB: so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”
11 WYC He answeride to hem, He that made me hool, seide to me, Take thi bed, and go. BSB BSB: But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”
12 WYC Therfor thei axiden him, What man `is that, that seide to thee, Take vp thi bed, and go? BSB BSB: “Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.
13 WYC But he that was maad hool, wiste not who it was. And Jhesus bowide awei fro the puple, that was set in the place. BSB BSB: But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.
14 WYC Aftirward Jhesus foond hym in the temple, and seide to hym, Lo! thou art maad hool; now nyle thou do synne, lest any worse thing bifalle to thee. BSB BSB: Afterward, Jesus found the man at the temple and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you.”
15 WYC Thilke man wente, and telde to the Jewis, that it was Jhesu that made hym hool. BSB BSB: And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 WYC Therfor the Jewis pursueden Jhesu, for he dide this thing in the sabat. BSB BSB: Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.
17 WYC And Jhesus answeride to hem, My fadir worchith til now, and Y worche. BSB BSB: But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”
19 WYC Therfor Jhesus answerde, and seide to hem, Treuli, treuli, Y seye to you, the sone may not of hym silf do ony thing, but that thing that he seeth the fadir doynge; for what euere thingis he doith, the sone doith in lijk maner tho thingis. BSB BSB: So Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, unless He sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does.
20 WYC For the fadir loueth the sone, and schewith to hym alle thingis that he doith; and he schal schewe to hym grettere werkis than these, that ye wondren. BSB BSB: The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.
21 WYC For as the fadir reisith deed men, and quykeneth, so the sone quykeneth whom he wole. BSB BSB: For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.
22 WYC For nethir the fadir iugith ony man, but hath youun ech doom to the sone, BSB BSB: Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,
23 WYC that alle men onoure the sone, as thei onouren the fadir. He that onourith not the sone, onourith not the fadir that sente hym. BSB BSB: so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
24 WYC Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, that he that herith my word, and bileueth to hym that sente me, hath euerlastynge lijf, and he cometh not in to doom, but passith fro deeth in to lijf. BSB BSB: Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.
25 WYC Treuli, treuli Y seie to you, for the our cometh, and now it is, whanne deed men schulen here the vois of `Goddis sone, and thei that heren, schulen lyue. BSB BSB: Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
26 WYC For as the fadir hath lijf in hym silf, so he yaf to the sone, to haue lijf in him silf; BSB BSB: For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.
27 WYC and he yaf to hym power to make doom, for he is mannys sone. BSB BSB: And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.
29 WYC And thei that han do goode thingis, schulen go in to ayenrisyng of lijf; but thei that han done yuele thingis, in to ayenrisyng of doom. BSB BSB: and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
30 WYC Y may no thing do of my silf, but as Y here, Y deme, and my doom is iust, for Y seke not my wille, but the wille of the fadir that sente me. BSB BSB: I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
31 WYC If Y bere witnessing of my silf, my witnessyng is not trewe; BSB BSB: If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.
32 WYC another is that berith witnessyng of me, and Y woot that his witnessyng is trewe, that he berith of me. BSB BSB: There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.
33 WYC Ye senten to Joon, and he bar witnessyng to treuthe. BSB BSB: You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34 WYC But Y take not witnessyng of man; but Y seie these thingis, that ye be saaf. BSB BSB: Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.
35 WYC He was a lanterne brennynge and schynynge; but ye wolden glade at an our in his liyt. BSB BSB: John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.
36 WYC But Y haue more witnessyng than Joon, for the werkis that my fadir yaf to me to perfourme hem, thilke werkis that Y do beren witnessyng of me, that the fadir sente me. BSB BSB: But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.
37 WYC And the fadir that sente me, he bar witnessyng of me. Nether ye herden euere his vois, nether ye seien his licnesse. BSB BSB: And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,
38 WYC And ye han not his word dwellynge in you; for ye byleuen not to hym, whom he sente. BSB BSB: nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.
39 WYC Seke ye scripturis, in which ye gessen to haue euerlastynge lijf; and tho it ben, that beren witnessyng of me. BSB BSB: You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,
40 WYC And ye wolen not come to me, that ye haue lijf. BSB BSB: yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.
41 WYC Y take not clerenesse of men; BSB BSB: I do not accept glory from men,
42 WYC but Y haue knowun you, that ye han not the loue of God in you. BSB BSB: but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.
43 WYC Y cam in the name of my fadir, and ye token not me. If another come in his owne name, ye schulen resseyue hym. BSB BSB: I have come in My Father’s name, and you have not received Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will receive him.
44 WYC Hou moun ye bileue, that resseyuen glorie ech of othere, and ye seken not the glorie `that is of God aloone? BSB BSB: How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45 WYC Nyle ye gesse, that Y am to accuse you anentis the fadir; it is Moises that accusith you, in whom ye hopen. BSB BSB: Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.
47 WYC But if ye bileuen not to hise lettris, hou schulen ye bileue to my wordis? BSB BSB: But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
