“1 After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus came to Jerusalem” – Lord, how, again? You might think that Jesus was doing nothing but walking back to Jerusalem 200 km away through the mountains on foot, off-road. As if it was smeared with honey there.

What for? Well, to prove that He preached only to the Jews: it is amazing that the Jews who rejected Him go out of their way to prove to the whole world that He is a Jew and was sent by their Jewish God to preach only to them.

In general, this whole chapter looks like a denture, written by someone using some of the words of Jesus in the name of the same Judaization, in order to firmly bind him to Jewry and Jewish faith in the ancestral god Yahweh. But in this chapter, the Judaizers jumped over their heads, contriving to carry out all this Judaizing editing twice, adding a later version on the second floor over the first one. However, in a conversation with a Samaritan woman, we have already seen even more bold approaches.

“2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five indoor underpasses.3 In these lay a great multitude of sick, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the movement of water, 4 For an angel would go down from time to time in the pool and stirred up the water, and who first entered into it after stirring of the water, he recovered, made well of whatever disease he had.”

This is the first floor of the editing added to create an impression of the authenticity of the ensuing fairy tale. Here is a description of the place of the event, and – at the same time – the Jewish legend, which later, much later, was transformed into an Orthodox way. No Angels of the Lord existed anywhere except pagan legends, and do not exist, all these are birthmarks of ancient Jewish paganism. Again, it is convenient to put into the story about Jesus the miracles of the Jewish God who sends angels to mock God’s chosen ones: let them trample and pass over each other, and we from heaven will enjoy this gladiatorial battle of the crippled – why wouldn’t the angel heal all the sick at once, with water or without water. Just because they can. But they cannot, due to the fabulousness of the angels themselves, the creations of the wild superstitious mind of the ancient pagans.

Further, the construction of the Jewish version continues.

“5 There was a man who had been sick for thirty-eight years. 6 Jesus, seeing him lying down and knowing that he had been lying for a long time, said to him,” Do you want to be well? “7 The sick man answered him: Yes, Lord; but I do not have a person who would put me in the pool when the water is disturbed; and when I come, another one comes down before me. 8 Jesus said to him, Get up, take your bed and walk. 9 And he immediately recovered, and took his bed and went. And it happened on the sabbath day. 10 Therefore the Jews said to the one who was healed: Today is sabbath; You must not take a bed. 11 He answered them: He who healed me, He said to me: Take your bed and walk. 12 They asked him: Who is the Man who told you, Take your bed and walk? 13 He who was healed did not know who He, for Jesus hid himself among the people that were in that place. 14 Then Jesus met him in the temple and said to him: Behold, you have recovered; sin no more, lest something worse happen to you. 15 This man went and announced to the Jews that he who healed him was Jesus.16 And the Jews began to persecute Jesus and sought to kill Him because He did such things on the Sabbath.”

It would seem that Jesus and the Jews are opposed here. But this is only at first glance. Jesus in this scene appears before us as undoubtedly a holy miracle worker, performing miracles … “in the name of Yahweh and by his name.” This follows from the first phrase addressed by Jesus to the Jews persecuting Him: “17 But Jesus said to them: My Father still does, and I do” – this is the real key to the meaning of this scene: the Father in this instance is Yahweh, who heals by the descent into the water of an angel, and Jesus also heals, and even on Saturday, because he is equal to God in his right to dispose of the Law at his own discretion, and both of them, the Yahweh Father and Jesus the Son, are equally kind and merciful to people. Mercy motivates both of them in relation to people and sometimes forces Jesus to break formalities in the name of fulfilling the true, inner meaning, the spiritual law, its core, essential part, the basis of which is the love and mercy of Jehovah to the chosen ones. – yeah, right. We know about Jehovah and his love for the folk he enslaved by the proverb: “The wolf took pity on the mare – he left his tail and mane.”

The thing is that the gospel was… intended for Christians, not for Jews, and it should have looked decent to them according to their faith in the Son of God – but then at least in the son of the Jewish Jehovah (who for the Jews cannot have any children or relatives in general, but for Christians it will do), this was the meaning of all these editors. And the fact that He violated the Sabbath is not so important, the Jews later explained it to Christians by his stricter observance of the Law, not by the letter of a formality, but by the Spirit of Jehovah’s love and mercy to his chosen ones. And of course, the necessary quotations from the Jewish Law were immediately found and were cited by the interpreters. “He said to them: “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and was hungry for himself and those with him? How he entered the house of God under the high priest Abiathar and ate the offering bread, which was not supposed to be eaten by anyone but the priests, and gave it to those with him? “And he said, “Saturday is for a man, not a man for the Sabbath. Therefore, the son of man is the lord of the sabbaths as well. “Mark 2: 23—28. It would be foolish to directly deny the Son-godhood of Jesus when addressing Christians – and having received the gospel of John, the Jewish editors “added their tar (lies) to the Christian honey” so that it was not noticeable at first glance, to a possible extent mixing in Judaism to the Gospel of John as the defining religion for Jesus. “I am the master of the Sabbath, I am the true Law” – this is what the Jewish Christians read in these lines. Jesus is shown here as… Yahweh himself.

Now let’s take a look at this scene through the eyes of an eyewitness. Overcrowding, dirt, stench – sick people rot for years in this pool by the water in the hope of healing, and there are thousands of them. Jesus came – and immediately the first question: He is the Son of God, merciful and compassionate – so WHY did He not take and heal ALL at once? That would be a great and socially significant miracle – and an act of divine mercy. Why was it necessary to look for some chosen one, no matter how good he was in himself. What, out of thousands of sufferers, only one was worthy of a divine visit?

Well, let’s say he healed. The one who had been lying paralyzed for almost forty years suddenly got up and went. – And then what? Yes, the fact that an unimaginable hubbub would have risen, and not just a hubbub, there would have begun a form of pandemonium, people, the whole thousand-strong crowd would have rushed to Jesus and would have simply trampled Him on the spot, tore him apart. And He would not go anywhere, would not dissolve in any crowd – that would be the end of Him. Let’s pay attention to a strange fact: the ill person confesses him as Lord before he was healed! Whom does he see in front of him? The ragamuffin alien who also came to be healed in the bath, is, accordingly, a competitor. And suddenly – Lord! The cart is again ahead of the horse.

So this scene is made up from start to finish.

This is followed by a long morality of Jesus, whom the Jews allegedly were eager to stone for breaking the Sabbath – and He reads a sermon to them in response, and they suddenly listen to him, obediently listen to “His voice” like sheep at His feet – amazing! It could be attributed to a miracle if they suddenly calmed down – but they continue to break off the chain and it is completely incomprehensible what keeps them from reprisal against Him on the spot, of course, for the blasphemy.

“18 And the Jews sought to kill Him even more because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God His Father, making Himself equal to God” – and here is the insert of the second layer, here the second editors already directly deny the Son-godhood of Jesus, without cunning approaches of the first editors

They are eager to kill Him, and He keeps speaking with them so calmly.

“19 To this Jesus said: truly, truly, I say to you: the Son can do nothing of Himself unless he sees the Father doing: for what He does, the Son also does the same” – this phrase is found in various forms in e. Jn. at least five more times. And what is it that the Father does out of what the Son does? We find the answer below.

“20 For the Father loves the Son and shows Him all that He Himself does; and he will show him deeds greater than these, so that you will be amazed.21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, so the Son also gives life to whom he wants”– but where, whom and when did God raise from the dead? Jehovah – no one and never, and we have not yet really learned anything about the Father from Jesus. And why is it mentioned here then? Well – as a preparation in advance for the main miracle: the resurrection of Lazarus the Four-Day, the authors of the Gospel are impatient to tell about it and they run ahead. But the Judaizers are on guard, and immediately this impatience is suppressed.

“22 For the Father does not judge anyone, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23 so that all may honor the Son as they honor the Father” – the judgment was taken by the Jews from biblical prophecies about the “end times”! And in the third chapter, any mention of the judgment in the teachings of Jesus, as an element of the pagan Jewish legend, is suppressed.

“He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him” – similar to the phrase in the authentic sermon of Jesus, but we will meet it more than once.

“24 Truly, truly, I say to you: he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life, and does not come to judgment, but has passed from death to life” – impudently and unceremoniously right in the middle is inserted about judgment, which completely changes the meaning of this very important phrase, the utterance of Jesus, undoubtedly genuine, and constituting the core of his Teachings, as we will see with you in the future. This phrase should sound like this: “he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life, has passed from death to life.”

In theory, this is where the chapter should end, it’s like a summing up, period.

And here the second floor of Judaization begins (or continues): it seemed to the second Judaizers that the Son of God was developed here, they, apparently, did not understand all the subtleties of the first implementation of the Jewish editing, and decided to add from themselves direct, straightforwardly, bluntly. Well, off we go, “according to the scriptures” to the end of the chapter.

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live. – Well, the zombie apocalypse promised by Mashiach suddenly sounds like the voice of Jesus – all of a sudden! And then it proceeds onto covreing all points of biblical prophecy:

5:26For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself: 5:27and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man. 5:28Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice, 5:29and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment. 5:30I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 5:31If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. 5:32It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. 5:33Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness unto the truth. 5:34But the witness which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved. 5:35He was the lamp that burneth and shineth; and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light. 5:36But the witness which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 5:37And the Father that sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form. 5:38And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not. 5:39Ye search the scriptures, /author:, … – Oh! What are they? Torah books, I guess? Must be, because there are at least another 100 years before the written New Testament!/

…because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me; 5:40and ye will not come to me, that ye may have life. 5:41I receive not glory from men. 5:42But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in yourselves. 5:43I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. 5:44How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and the glory that cometh from the only God ye seek not? 5:45Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, on whom ye have set your hope. 5:46For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me. 5:47But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? " – another hysteria of an offended unbalanced and possibly mentally unhealthy Jew who believes in apocalyptic “prophecies” and imagines himself to be “the very” Jewish Messiah, the King of the Jews, whom the Jews were waiting for – nothing interesting for us. Digging in the trash, fishing for the insignificant words about the unity of Jesus with the Father just does not make sense – all this unintelligible preaching about this unity-identity we will encounter time and again, and may be not authentic Jesus sayings, but only gnostic reflections of the original authors of the gospels. And therefore, all this miserable semblance of a description of an event and a miracle should in the dump, except for the only phrase, in which it is still necessary to mentally separate the fairy-tale Jehovah imposed on Jesus as a father from the True Heavenly Father, which He tells us about.

“He that hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life, has passed from death to life.”
