John 5:1-36
Skip Heitzig
John 5 (NKJV™) | |
1 | After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. |
2 | Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. |
3 | In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. |
4 | For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. |
5 | Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. |
6 | When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, "Do you want to be made well?" |
7 | The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me." |
8 | Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed and walk." |
9 | And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath. |
10 | The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed." |
11 | He answered them, "He who made me well said to me, 'Take up your bed and walk.' " |
12 | Then they asked him, "Who is the Man who said to you, 'Take up your bed and walk'?" |
13 | But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place. |
14 | Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you." |
15 | The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. |
16 | For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath. |
17 | But Jesus answered them, "My Father has been working until now, and I have been working." |
18 | Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God. |
19 | Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. |
20 | "For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel. |
21 | "For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. |
22 | "For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, |
23 | "that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. |
24 | "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. |
25 | "Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. |
26 | "For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, |
27 | "and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. |
28 | "Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice |
29 | "and come forth--those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. |
30 | "I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me. |
31 | "If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true. |
32 | "There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true. |
33 | "You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. |
34 | "Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved. |
35 | "He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. |
36 | "But I have a greater witness than John's; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish--the very works that I do--bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me. |

When Jesus healed the paralyzed man at the pool of Bethesda, He proved He was the ultimate Healer—but not everyone saw Him that way. In this teaching, we learn that this was the point in Jesus' ministry that most of the Jewish nation formally set itself against Him, and the opposition would only continue to mount until they finally succeeded in crucifying Him.
The gospel of John is a unique eyewitness testimony of the life of Jesus that emphasizes His deity and provides information about Him that's not found in the other Gospels. John wrote this account so we would know that we can find true, abundant life in Christ alone: "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name" (John 20:31). In this verse-by-verse study of John, Skip Heitzig takes us through Jesus' public ministry, His teachings to the disciples, His death, and His resurrection.

John 1:1-25 John 1:1-25 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary The book of John is the go-to gospel for new believers. While the other Gospels were written for specific groups of people—the Jews, Romans, and Greeks—John was written for the whole world. As we begin our study in John, we discover that it is a studied portrait of Jesus' life, and it shows Him for who He really is: the Son of God. |

Info Message Summary What is your view of Jesus? John the Baptist was very aware of who Jesus is: "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). We learn that our faith should not be dictated by the world's opinion of God because the majority of people have not received Him—but those who do have the right to become His children. |

Info Message Summary When Jesus began His ministry on earth, many people were interested in who He was and what He was doing because of the signs and miracles He performed—not because they believed in His mission. In this study, we learn that Jesus' mission was to save all people, and He already did the hard part: He bled, suffered, and died on the cross for our sins. |

John 6:22-6:71 John 6:22-6:71 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Miracles bring awareness that God is real and near to us. But along with that awareness is the danger of seeking the Lord not for who He is, but for what He does. Some people only seek Him because they want what He can give them. In this study, we see that Jesus wanted people to know the true miracle: that they can be eternally saved simply by believing in Him. |
