Gen Z: John 5
1After this, it was a whole vibe with the Jews; Jesus rolled up to Jerusalem.
2In Jerusalem, by the sheep market, there’s this pool called Bethesda, with five chill spots.
3A bunch of folks who couldn’t get it together were chilling there, blind and all, waiting for the water to pop off.
4An angel would drop down at the right time and stir the water: first one in after that got healed, no cap.
5There was this dude who’d been struggling for thirty-eight years, straight up savage.
6Jesus saw him laying there, knew he’d been stuck for a minute, and was like, "You tryna get healed?"
7The dude replied, "I got no one to help me when the water gets lit; someone always beats me to it."
8Jesus said, "Get up, grab your bed, and walk it out."
9And just like that, the man was healed, picked up his bed, and walked out—on the sabbath, fr.
10The Jews saw him and were like, "Yo, it’s the sabbath, you can’t be carrying your bed like that."
11He was like, "The dude who hooked me up said, 'Grab your bed and bounce.'"
12So they were like, "Who’s this guy telling you to dip with your bed?"
13The healed dude had no clue who it was, 'cause Jesus just ghosted with a crowd around.
14Later, Jesus found him in the temple and said, "Yo, you’re all good now; don’t mess up again, or it could get messy."
15The man bounced and told the Jews it was Jesus who made him whole.
16So the Jews were all mad at Jesus and wanted to take him out, 'cause he was doing stuff on the sabbath.
17But Jesus was like, "My Dad’s been grinding, so I’m grinding too."
18That’s why the Jews were even more hyped to kill him, 'cause he was breaking the sabbath and claiming God as his Father, making himself equal with God.
19Then Jesus dropped some truth, saying, "For real, the Son can’t do anything solo; he just vibes off what the Father does."
20The Father loves the Son and shows him all the lit things he does, and he’s gonna show him even greater stuff that’ll blow your mind.
21Just like how the Father brings the dead back to life, the Son does his thing too, no cap.
22The Father ain’t judging anyone, He gave all that power to the Son:
23So everyone should give the Son mad respect, just like they do for the Father. If you’re not vibing with the Son, you’re not vibing with the Father who sent him.
24For real, I’m telling you, if you hear my words and believe in the one who sent me, you got eternal life, no judgment coming your way; you’ve moved from death to life.
25For real, I’m telling you, the time is coming, and it’s here now, when the dead will hear the Son of God’s voice, and those who hear are gonna live.
26Just like the Father has life in Himself, He’s given the Son that same life, fr.
27And He’s got the authority to judge too, 'cause He’s the Son of Man.
28Don’t be shook about this: the time is coming when everyone in the graves will hear His voice,
29And they’ll come out; those who did good will rise to life, and those who did bad will face the consequences.
30I can’t do anything on my own; I just judge based on what I hear, and my judgment is on point; 'cause I’m not here for my own agenda, but for the will of the Father who sent me.
31If I’m just vibing by myself, that’s sus, fam.
32There’s someone else backing me up, and I know their witness is fr true.
33Y’all hit up John, and he kept it real about the truth.
34But I ain’t looking for clout from humans; I’m saying this so you can be saved, no cap.
35He was a lit and shining light, and for a minute, y’all were down to vibe with his light.
36But I got a greater witness than John; the dope stuff my Father gave me to finish speaks for itself, proving I’m sent by Him.
37The Father who sent me has also backed me up. You haven’t heard His voice or seen His shape, periodt.
38And you don’t have His word chilling in you, 'cause you don’t believe in the one He sent.
39Search the scriptures; you think they hold eternal life, but they’re the ones testifying about me, fr.
40And you won’t come to me to grab that life, that’s wild.
41I ain't trippin' for clout from people, fr.
42But I see you, and you ain't got God's love vibin' in you.
43I roll up in my Dad's name, and you ghost me: but if someone else shows up flexing, you totally vibe with them.
44How you gonna believe if you're just hyping each other up and not chasing the honor that comes from God, no cap?
45Don't think I'm gonna snitch on you to the Father; Moses is the real one coming for you, and you trust him.
46If you really believed Moses, you would’ve believed me too, 'cause he was writing about me, periodt.
47But if you ain't feeling his writings, how you gonna vibe with my words?
