¹ And Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, have come out·​·of the land of Canaan; and behold they are in the land of Goshen.

² And from a part^* of his brothers he took five men^◦, and placed^◦ them before Pharaoh.

³ And Pharaoh said to^▵ his brothers, What are your deeds? And they said to^▵ Pharaoh, Thy servants are a shepherd of the flock, both^◦ we^◦ and^◦ our fathers.

⁴ And they said to^▵ Pharaoh, To sojourn in the land have we come; for there is no pasture for the flock which belongs to thy servants; for the famine is heavy in the land of Canaan; and now, we pray^◦, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.

⁵ And Pharaoh said to^▵ Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brothers have come to^▵ thee;

⁶ the land of Egypt, it^◦ is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and thy brothers dwell; let them dwell in the land of Goshen; and if thou knowest, and there·​·be among^◦ them, men^◦ of force, then set them as princes over the livestock that belong to me.

⁷ And Joseph brought Jacob his father, and stood him before Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

⁸ And Pharaoh said to^▵ Jacob, How·​·many are the days of the years of thy life?

⁹ And Jacob said to^▵ Pharaoh, The days of the years of my sojournings are thirty and a hundred years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojournings.

¹⁰ And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went·​·out from before Pharaoh.

¹¹ And Joseph had his father and his brothers dwell, and gave them a possession^◦ in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as^◦ Pharaoh had commanded.

¹² And Joseph sustained his father, and his brothers, and all the house of his father, with bread, according·​·to^▵ the mouth of the infant.

¹³ And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very heavy, and the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan labored^◦ in the faces of the famine.

¹⁴ And Joseph collected all the silver that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the purchase which they^◦ purchased; and Joseph brought the silver to the house of Pharaoh.

¹⁵ And the silver was finished from the land of Egypt, and from the land of Canaan, and all Egypt came to^▵ Joseph, saying, Give^▵ us bread, for why should we die in·​·front·​·of thee for the silver is·​·gone^◦?

¹⁶ And Joseph said, Give^▵ your livestock; and I will Give you for your livestock, if silver be·​·gone^◦.

¹⁷ And they brought their livestock to^▵ Joseph; and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the livestock of the flock, and for the livestock of the herd, and for the donkeys; and he provided^* them with bread in exchange for all their livestock in this^◦ year.

¹⁸ And when this^◦ year finished, they came to^▵ him in the second year, and said to him, We will not conceal^◦ from my lord that the silver is finished; and the livestock of the beast is to^▵ my lord; nothing is·​·left before my lord except^▵ our body and our ground.

¹⁹ Why should· we ·die before thine eyes, both^◦ we^◦ and our ground? buy us and our ground with bread, and we shall be, and our ground, servants to Pharaoh; and give seed, that we^◦ may live, and not die, and the ground be· not ·desolate.

²⁰ And Joseph bought all the ground of Egypt for Pharaoh; for^◦ the Egyptians sold every man^◦ his field, because the famine was strengthened upon them; and the land was Pharaoh’s.

²¹ And the people, he had them cross to the cities, from the edge of the border of Egypt even·​·to its other edge.

²² Only the ground of the priests bought he not; for a stated portion was for the priests from Pharaoh, and they ate their stated portion which Pharaoh had given to them; Therefore they sold not their ground.

²³ And Joseph said to^▵ the people, Behold I have bought you this day and your ground for Pharaoh; behold here is seed for you, and you shall sow the ground.

²⁴ And it shall be in the increase and you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts^* shall be for you, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those in your houses, and for food for your infants.

²⁵ And they said, Thou hast made us live; let us find grace in the eyes of my lord, and we will be servants of Pharaoh.

²⁶ And Joseph set it for a statute even·​·to this day, concerning the ground of Egypt, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; only the ground of the priests, theirs alone was not for Pharaoh.

²⁷ And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they had· a ·possession^◦ in it, and were·​·fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.

²⁸ And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; and it was that the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were seven years and forty and a hundred years.

²⁹ And the days of Israel came·​·near to die; and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, If, I pray^◦, I have found grace in thine eyes, set, I pray^◦, thy hand under my thigh, and do mercy and truth with·​·me; bury me not, I pray^◦, in Egypt.

³⁰ And I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out·​·of Egypt, and bury me in their burying-place. And he said, I^▵ will do according·​·to thy word.

³¹ And he said, Promise to me; and he promised to him. Israel bowed· himself ·down on the head of the bed^◦.

¹ After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

² Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, "Bethesda," having five porches.

³ In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;

⁴ for an angel went down at certain times into the pool, and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was made whole of whatever disease he had.

⁵ A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

⁶ When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to be made well?"

⁷ The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I'm coming, another steps down before me."

⁸ Jesus said to him, "Arise, take up your mat, and walk."

⁹ Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.

¹⁰ So the Jews said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat."

¹¹ He answered them, "He who made me well, the same said to me, 'Take up your mat, and walk.'"

¹² Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Take up your mat, and walk'?"

¹³ But he who was healed didn't know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.

¹⁴ Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you."

¹⁵ The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

¹⁶ For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.

¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too."

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.

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.

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.

²¹ For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.

²² For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,

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.

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.

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.

²⁶ For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.

²⁷ He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

²⁸ Don't marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,

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.

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.

³¹ "If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.

³² It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

³³ You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

³⁴ But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.

³⁵ He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

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.

³⁷ The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

³⁸ You don't have his word living in you; because you don't believe him whom he sent.

³⁹ "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.

⁴⁰ Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.

⁴¹ I don't receive glory from men.

⁴² But I know you, that you don't have God's love in yourselves.

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.

⁴⁴ How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don't seek the glory that comes from the only God?

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.

⁴⁶ For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.

⁴⁷ But if you don't believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
