At which the Jews being enraged, and Seeking to kill him, JESUS avows his Deity, that all Judgment was committed to him, and that whofoever believed on him, fhould have everlasting Life.

John AFTER this there was a Feaft of the Jews, and V. I. Jefus went up to Jerufalem.

2. Now there is at Ferufalem by the Sheep-Market, a Pool, which is called in the Hebrew Tongue, Bethesda, having five Porches.

3. In thefe lay a great Multitude of Impotent Folk, of Blind, Halt, Withered, waiting for the Moving of the Water.

12. Then asked they him, What Man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy Bed, and walk?

13. And he that was healed, wift not who it was: for Jefus had conveyed himself away, a Multitude being in that Place.

14. Afterward fefus findeth him in the Temple, and faid unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: SIN no more, left a WORSE THING Come upon

thee.

15. The Man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jefus that had made him whole.

16. And therefore did the Jews PERSECUTE Jefus, and fought to SLAY him, becaufe he had done thefe Things on the Sabbath Day.

17. But Jefus anfwered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I WORK.

18. Therefore the Jews fought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the Sabbath, but faid alfo, that GoD was his FATHER, making himself EQUAL with GOD *.

19. Then answered Jefus, and faid unto them, Verily, verily I fay unto you, The Son can do nothing of himfelf, but what he feeth the Father do: for what Things foever he doth, thefe alfo doth the Son likewife.

20. For the Father loveth the Son, and fheweth him all Things that himself doth: and he will fhew him greater WORKS than thefe, that ye may marvel.

21. For as the Father RIASETH up the DEAD, and quickneth them: even fo the Son quickneth whom he will. 22. For (a) the Father JUDGETH no Man; but hath committed all JUDGMENT unto the Son:

(a) Ats xvii. 31. Because he hath appointed a DAY in the which he will JUDGE the World in Righteousness, by that MAN whom he hath or dained; whereof he hath given Af

furance unto all Men, in that he hath RAISED him from the DEAD. 23. That

23. That all Men fhould HONOUR the Son, even as they HONOUR the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father which

hath fent him.

24. Verily, verily (b) Ifay unto you, He that heareth my WORD, and believeth on him that fent me, hath everlafting LIFE, and shall not come into CONDEMNATION; but is paffed from Death unto Life.

25. Verily, verily I fay unto you, (c) The Hour is coming, and now is, when theDEAD fhall hear the Voice of the Son of GOD; and they that hear, fhall LIVE.

26. For as the Father hath LIFE in himfelf; fo hath he given to the Son to have LIFE in himfelf;

27. And hath given him AUTHORITY to execute

JUDGMENT alfo, because he

is the Son of Man.

28. Marvel not at this: for the Hour is coming, in the which all that are in the Graves fhall hear his Voice,

29. And fhall come forth, they that have done GooD, unto the Refurrection of LIFE; and they that have done EVIL, unto the Refurrection of DAMNATION.
