約翰福音 5
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
在畢士大池邊治病
5 這些事以後，到了猶太人的一個節期，耶穌上耶路撒冷去。
2 在耶路撒冷，靠近羊門有一個池子，希伯來話叫畢士大[a]，旁邊有五個柱廊； 3 裏面躺着許多病人，有失明的、瘸腿的、癱瘓的[b]。 5 在那裏有一個人，病了三十八年。 6 耶穌看見他躺着，知道他病了很久，就問他：「你要痊癒嗎？」 7 病人回答他：「先生，水動的時候，沒有人把我放在池子裏；我正要去的時候，別人比我先下去了。」 8 耶穌對他說：「起來，拿起你的褥子走吧！」 9 那人立刻痊癒，就拿起自己的褥子走了。
那天是安息日， 10 所以猶太人對那被治好了的人說：「今天是安息日，你拿褥子是不合法的。」 11 他卻回答他們：「那使我痊癒的人對我說：『拿起你的褥子走吧！』」 12 他們問他：「對你說『拿起褥子走』的是甚麼人？」 13 那治好了的人不知道那人是誰，因為那裏人很多，耶穌已經躲開了。 14 後來耶穌在聖殿裏找到他，對他說：「你已經痊癒了，不要再犯罪，免得你的遭遇更壞。」 15 那人就去告訴猶太人，使他痊癒的是耶穌。 16 所以猶太人迫害耶穌，因為他在安息日做了這些事。 17 耶穌就回答他們：「我父做事直到如今，我也做事。」 18 為了這緣故，猶太人越發想要殺他，因為他不但犯了安息日，而且稱 神為他的父，把自己和 神看為同等。
聖子的權柄
19 於是耶穌回答，對他們說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，子憑着自己不能做甚麼，惟有看見父所做的，他才做；父所做的事，子也照樣做。 20 父愛子，將自己所做的一切事指示給他看，還要將比這更大的事給他看，使你們驚訝。 21 父怎樣叫死人復活，賜他們生命，子也照樣隨自己的意願賜人生命。 22 父不審判任何人，而是把審判的事全交給子， 23 為要使人都尊敬子，如同尊敬父一樣。不尊敬子的，就是不尊敬差子來的父。
24 「我實實在在地告訴你們，那聽我話又信差我來那位的，就有永生，不至於被定罪，而是已經出死入生了。 25 我實實在在地告訴你們，時候將到，現在就是了，死人要聽見 神兒子的聲音，聽見的人就要活了。 26 因為父怎樣自己裏面有生命，也照樣賜給他兒子自己裏面有生命， 27 並且賜給他施行審判的權柄，因為他是人子。 28 你們不要對這事感到驚訝，因為時候將到，凡在墳墓裏的，都要聽見他的聲音， 29 並且要出來：行善的，復活得生命；作惡的，復活被定罪。
30 「我憑着自己不能做甚麼。我怎麼聽見就怎麼審判，而我的審判是公平的，因為我不尋求自己的意願，只尋求差我來那位的旨意。」
為耶穌作見證
31 「我若為自己作見證，我的見證就不真。 32 另有一位為我作見證，我也知道他為我作的見證是真的。 33 你們曾差人到約翰那裏，他為真理作過見證。 34 其實，我所受的見證不是從人來的；然而，我說這些話是為了使你們得救。 35 約翰是點亮的明燈，你們情願因他的光歡欣一時。 36 但我有比約翰更大的見證：父交給我去完成的工作，就是我正在做的，為我作證是父差遣了我。 37 那差我來的父也為我作了見證。你們從來沒有聽見他的聲音，也沒有看見他的形像。 38 你們並沒有他的道存在心裏，因為你們不信他所差來的那一位。 39 你們查考聖經，因你們以為其中有永生；而這經正是為我作見證的。 40 然而，你們不肯到我這裏來得生命。
41 「我不接受從人來的榮耀， 42 但我知道，你們沒有愛 神的心。 43 我奉我父的名來了，你們並不接納我；若有別人奉自己的名來，你們倒會接納他。 44 你們互相受榮耀，卻不尋求從獨一 神來的榮耀，怎能信我呢？ 45 不要以為我會在父面前告你們；有一位告你們的，就是你們所仰望的摩西。 46 如果你們信摩西，也會信我，因為他寫過關於我的事。 47 你們若不信他的書，怎能信我的話呢？」
John 5
Living Bible
5 Afterwards Jesus returned to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish religious holidays. 2 Inside the city, near the Sheep Gate, was Bethesda Pool, with five covered platforms or porches surrounding it. 3 Crowds of sick folks—lame, blind, or with paralyzed limbs—lay on the platforms (waiting for a certain movement of the water, 4 for an angel of the Lord came from time to time and disturbed the water, and the first person to step down into it afterwards was healed).[a]
5 One of the men lying there had been sick for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him and knew how long he had been ill, he asked him, “Would you like to get well?”
7 “I can’t,” the sick man said, “for I have no one to help me into the pool at the movement of the water. While I am trying to get there, someone else always gets in ahead of me.”
8 Jesus told him, “Stand up, roll up your sleeping mat and go on home!”
9 Instantly, the man was healed! He rolled up the mat and began walking!
But it was on the Sabbath when this miracle was done. 10 So the Jewish leaders objected. They said to the man who was cured, “You can’t work on the Sabbath! It’s illegal to carry that sleeping mat!”
11 “The man who healed me told me to,” was his reply.
12 “Who said such a thing as that?” they demanded.
13 The man didn’t know, and Jesus had disappeared into the crowd. 14 But afterwards Jesus found him in the Temple and told him, “Now you are well; don’t sin as you did before,[b] or something even worse may happen to you.”
15 Then the man went to find the Jewish leaders and told them it was Jesus who had healed him.
16 So they began harassing Jesus as a Sabbath breaker.
17 But Jesus replied, “My Father constantly does good, and I’m following his example.”[c]
18 Then the Jewish leaders were all the more eager to kill him because in addition to disobeying their Sabbath laws, he had spoken of God as his Father, thereby making himself equal with God.
19 Jesus replied, “The Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing, and in the same way. 20 For the Father loves the Son, and tells him everything he is doing; and the Son will do far more awesome miracles than this man’s healing. 21 He will even raise from the dead anyone he wants to, just as the Father does. 22 And the Father leaves all judgment of sin to his Son, 23 so that everyone will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. But if you refuse to honor God’s Son, whom he sent to you, then you are certainly not honoring the Father.
24 “I say emphatically that anyone who listens to my message and believes in God who sent me has eternal life, and will never be damned for his sins, but has already passed out of death into life.
25 “And I solemnly declare that the time is coming, in fact, it is here, when the dead shall hear my voice—the voice of the Son of God—and those who listen shall live. 26 The Father has life in himself, and has granted his Son to have life in himself, 27 and to judge the sins of all mankind because he is the Son of Man. 28 Don’t be so surprised! Indeed the time is coming when all the dead in their graves shall hear the voice of God’s Son, 29 and shall rise again—those who have done good, to eternal life; and those who have continued in evil, to judgment.
30 “But I pass no judgment without consulting the Father. I judge as I am told. And my judgment is absolutely fair and just, for it is according to the will of God who sent me and is not merely my own.
31 “When I make claims about myself they aren’t believed, 32-33 but someone else, yes, John the Baptist,[d] is making these claims for me too. You have gone out to listen to his preaching, and I can assure you that all he says about me is true! 34 But the truest witness I have is not from a man, though I have reminded you about John’s witness so that you will believe in me and be saved. 35 John shone brightly for a while, and you benefited and rejoiced, 36 but I have a greater witness than John. I refer to the miracles I do; these have been assigned me by the Father, and they prove that the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father himself has also testified about me, though not appearing to you personally, or speaking to you directly. 38 But you are not listening to him, for you refuse to believe me—the one sent to you with God’s message.
39 “You search the Scriptures, for you believe they give you eternal life. And the Scriptures point to me! 40 Yet you won’t come to me so that I can give you this life eternal!
41-42 “Your approval or disapproval means nothing to me, for as I know so well, you don’t have God’s love within you. 43 I know, because I have come to you representing my Father and you refuse to welcome me, though you readily enough receive those who aren’t sent from him, but represent only themselves! 44 No wonder you can’t believe! For you gladly honor each other, but you don’t care about the honor that comes from the only God!
45 “Yet it is not I who will accuse you of this to the Father—Moses will! Moses, on whose laws you set your hopes of heaven. 46 For you have refused to believe Moses. He wrote about me, but you refuse to believe him, so you refuse to believe in me. 47 And since you don’t believe what he wrote, no wonder you don’t believe me either.”

King James Version
5 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
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 wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, 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 shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41 I receive not honour from men.
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
