治好病了三十八年的人

这些事以后,到了犹太人的一个节期,耶稣就上耶路撒冷去。 在耶路撒冷靠近羊门有一个水池,希伯来话叫作毕士大,池边有五条走廊。 在那里躺着许多病人,有瞎眼的、瘸腿的和瘫痪的。(有些抄本有以下一段:“他们等候水动,4因为有主的使者按时下去搅动池水,水动之后,谁先下去,无论甚么病,必得痊愈。”) 那里有一个人,病了三十八年。 耶稣看见他躺着,知道他病了很久,就问他:“你要痊愈吗?” 病人回答:“先生,水动的时候,没有人把我放在池里;自己想去的时候,总是给别人抢先。” 耶稣对他说:“起来,拿着你的褥子走吧。” 那人立刻痊愈,就拿起褥子走了。

那天正是安息日。 10 因此犹太人对那医好了的人说:“今天是安息日,你拿着褥子是不可以的。” 11 他却回答:“那使我痊愈的对我说:‘拿起你的褥子走吧’。” 12 他们就问:“那对你说‘拿起来走吧’的是谁?” 13 那医好了的人不知道他是谁,因为那里人很多,耶稣已经避开了。 14 后来,耶稣在殿里遇见那人,对他说:“你已经痊愈了,不可再犯罪,免得招来更大的祸患。” 15 那人就去告诉犹太人,使他痊愈的就是耶稣。 16 从此犹太人就迫害耶稣,因为他常常在安息日作这些事。 17 耶稣却对他们说:“我父作工直到现在,我也作工。” 18 因此犹太人就更想杀耶稣,因为他不但破坏安息日,而且称 神为自己的父,把自己与 神当作平等。

人子的权柄

19 耶稣又对他们说:“我实实在在告诉你们,子靠着自己不能作甚么,只能作他看见父所作的;因为父所作的事,子也照样作。 20 父爱子,把自己所作的一切指示给他看,还要把比这些更大的事指示给他看,使你们惊奇。 21 父怎样叫死人复活,使他们得生命,子也照样随自己的意思使人得生命。 22 父不审判人,却已经把审判的权柄完全交给子, 23 使所有的人尊敬子好象尊敬父一样。不尊敬子的,就是不尊敬那差他来的父。 24 我实实在在告诉你们,那听见我的话又信那差我来的,就有永生,不被定罪,而是已经出死入生了。 25 我实实在在告诉你们,时候将到,现在就是了,死人要听见 神儿子的声音,听见的人就要活了。 26 就如父是生命的源头,照样他也使子成为生命的源头, 27 并且把执行审判的权柄赐给他,因为他是人子。 28 你们不要把这事看作希奇,因为时候将到,那时所有在坟墓里的都要听见他的声音, 29 并且都要出来;行善的复活得生命,作恶的复活被定罪。

给耶稣作见证的

30 “我靠着自己不能作甚么,我怎样听见,就怎样审判。我的审判是公义的,因为我不寻求自己的意思,只求那差我来者的旨意。 31 我若为自己作证,我的见证就不真。 32 然而另有一位为我作证的,我知道他为我作的见证是真的。 33 你们曾经派人到约翰那里,他为真理作过见证。 34 我不接受从人而来的见证,但我说这些事,是要你们得救。 35 约翰是一盏点亮的灯,你们情愿暂时在他的光中欢乐。 36 但我有比约翰更大的见证,因为父赐给我要我完成的工作,就是我所要作的,证明我是父所差来的。 37 差我来的父亲自为我作了见证。他的声音,你们从没有听过;他的容貌,你们从没有见过; 38 他的道,你们也不放在心里,因为你们不信他所差来的那一位。 39 你们研究圣经,因为你们认为圣经中有永生,其实为我作证的就是这圣经, 40 然而你们却不肯到我这里来得生命。

41 “我不接受从人而来的称赞; 42 我知道你们心里没有 神的爱。 43 我奉我父的名而来,你们不接待我;如果有别人以自己的名义而来,你们倒接待他。 44 你们彼此接受称赞,却不寻求从独一的 神而来的称赞,怎么能信呢? 45 不要以为我要向父控告你们,有一位控告你们的,就是你们所仰赖的摩西。 46 你们若信摩西,也必信我,因为他所写的书曾论及我。 47 你们若不信他所写的,怎能信我的话呢?”

شفاء مشلول عند البركة

وَبَعْدَ ذلِكَ صَعِدَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي أَحَدِ الأَعْيَادِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ، وَكَانَ بِالْقُرْبِ مِنْ بَابِ الْغَنَمِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ بِرْكَةٌ اسْمُهَا بِالْعِبْرِيَّةِ بَيْتُ حِسْدَا، حَوْلَهَا خَمْسُ قَاعَاتٍ. يَرْقُدُ فِيهَا جَمْعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الْمَرْضَى مِنْ عُمْيَانٍ وَعُرْجٍ وَمَشْلُولِينَ، يَنْتَظِرُونَ أَنْ تَتَحَرَّكَ مِيَاهُ الْبِرْكَةِ، لأَنَّ مَلاكاً كَانَ يَأْتِي مِنْ حِينٍ لِآخَرَ إِلَى الْبِرْكَةِ وَيُحَرِّكُ مَاءَهَا، فَكَانَ الَّذِي يَنْزِلُ أَوَّلاً يُشْفَى، مَهْمَا كَانَ مَرَضُهُ.

وَكَانَ عِنْدَ الْبِرْكَةِ مَرِيضٌ مُنْذُ ثَمَانٍ وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً، رَآهُ يَسُوعُ رَاقِداً هُنَاكَ فَعَرَفَ أَنَّ مُدَّةً طَوِيلَةً انْقَضَتْ وَهُوَ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ، فَسَأَلَهُ: «أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تُشْفَى؟» فَأَجَابَهُ الْمَرِيضُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، لَيْسَ لِي إِنْسَانٌ يُلْقِينِي فِي الْبِرْكَةِ مَتَى تَحَرَّكَ الْمَاءُ. وَكَمْ مِنْ مَرَّةٍ حَاوَلْتُ النُّزُولَ، فَكَانَ غَيْرِي يَنْزِلُ قَبْلِي دَائِماً». فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «قُمِ احْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ وَامْشِ». وَفِي الْحَالِ شُفِيَ الرَّجُلُ وَحَمَلَ فِرَاشَهُ وَمَشَى. وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ سَبْتٍ.

10 فَقَالَ الْيَهُودُ لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي شُفِيَ: «الْيَوْمَ سَبْتٌ. لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ فِرَاشَكَ!» 11 فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «الَّذِي أَعَادَ إِلَيَّ الصِّحَّةَ هُوَ قَالَ لِي: احْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ وَامْشِ». 12 فَسَأَلُوهُ: «وَمَنْ هُوَ الَّذِي قَالَ لَكَ: احْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ وَامْشِ؟» 13 وَلكِنَّ الْمَرِيضَ الَّذِي شُفِيَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْرِفُ مَنْ هُوَ، لأَنَّ يَسُوعَ كَانَ قَدِ ابْتَعَدَ، إِذْ كَانَ فِي الْمَكَانِ جَمْعٌ.

14 وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَجَدَهُ يَسُوعُ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَا أَنْتَ قَدْ عُدْتَ صَحِيحاً فَلا تَرْجِعْ إِلَى الْخَطِيئَةِ لِئَلّا يُصِيبَكَ مَا هُوَ أَسْوَأُ!» 15 فَلَمَّا عَرَفَ الرَّجُلُ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ الَّذِي شَفَاهُ، أَسْرَعَ يُخْبِرُ الْيَهُودَ بِذلِكَ.

سلطان الابن

16 فَأَخَذَ الْيَهُودُ يُضَايِقُونَ يَسُوعَ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَعْمَلُ هذِهِ الأَعْمَالَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ.

17 وَلكِنَّ يَسُوعَ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَازَالَ أَبِي يَعْمَلُ إِلَى الآنَ. وَأَنَا أَيْضاً أَعْمَلُ!» 18 لِهَذَا ازْدَادَ سَعْيُ الْيَهُودِ إِلَى قَتْلِهِ، لَيْسَ فَقَطْ لأَنَّهُ خَالَفَ سُنَّةَ السَّبْتِ، بَلْ أَيْضاً لأَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ أَبُوهُ، مُسَاوِياً نَفْسَهُ بِاللهِ.

19 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ الاِبْنَ لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ شَيْئاً مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ نَفْسِهِ، بَلْ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَرَى الآبَ يَفْعَلُهُ. فَكُلُّ مَا يَعْمَلُهُ الآبُ، يَعْمَلُهُ الاِبْنُ كَذلِكَ، 20 لأَنَّ الآبَ يُحِبُّ الاِبْنَ، وَيُرِيهِ جَمِيعَ مَا يَفْعَلُهُ، وَسَيُرِيهِ أَيْضاً أَعْمَالاً أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذَا الْعَمَلِ، فَتُدْهَشُونَ. 21 فَكَمَا يُقِيمُ الآبُ الْمَوْتَى وَيُحْيِيهِمْ، كَذلِكَ يُحْيِي الاِبْنُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ. 22 وَالآبُ لَا يُحَاكِمُ أَحَداً، بَلْ أَعْطَى الاِبْنَ سُلْطَةَ الْقَضَاءِ كُلَّهَا، 23 لِيُكْرِمَ الْجَمِيعُ الاِبْنَ كَمَا يُكْرِمُونَ الآبَ. وَمَنْ لَا يُكْرِمِ الاِبْنَ لَا يُكْرِمِ الآبَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ.

24 الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ مَنْ يَسْمَعْ كَلامِي وَيُؤْمِنْ بِالَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي تَكُنْ لَهُ الْحَيَاةُ الأَبَدِيَّةُ، وَلا يُحَاكَمْ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَخِيرِ، لأَنَّهُ قَدِ انْتَقَلَ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ. 25 الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ السَّاعَةَ الَّتِي يَسْمَعُ فِيهَا الأَمْوَاتُ صَوْتَ ابْنِ اللهِ سَتَأْتِي بَلْ هِيَ الآنَ وَالَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَهُ يَحْيَوْنَ. 26 لأَنَّهُ كَمَا أَنَّ لِلآبِ حَيَاةً فِي ذَاتِهِ، فَقَدْ أَعْطَى الاِبْنَ أَيْضاً أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ حَيَاةٌ فِي ذَاتِهِ، 27 وَأَعْطَاهُ سُلْطَةً أَنْ يَدِينَ، لأَنَّهُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ. 28 لَا تَتَعَجَّبُوا مِنْ هَذَا: فَسَوْفَ تَأْتِي سَاعَةٌ يَسْمَعُ فِيهَا جَمِيعُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ صَوْتَهُ، 29 فَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنْهَا: فَالَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ يَخْرُجُونَ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ الْمُؤَدِّيَةِ إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ، وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ فَفِي الْقِيَامَةِ الْمُؤَدِّيَةِ إِلَى الدَّيْنُونَةِ. 30 وَأَنَا لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ شَيْئاً مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ ذَاتِي، بَلْ أَحْكُمُ حَسْبَمَا أَسْمَعُ، وَحُكْمِي عَادِلٌ، لأَنِّي لَا أَسْعَى لِتَحْقِيقِ إِرَادَتِي بَلْ إِرَادَةِ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.

الآب يشهد للابن

31 لَوْ كُنْتُ أَشْهَدُ لِنَفْسِي، لَكَانَتْ شَهَادَتِي غَيْرَ صَادِقَةٍ، 32 وَلكِنْ غَيْرِي يَشْهَدُ لِي، وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ شَهَادَتَهُ لِي هِيَ حَقٌّ. 33 وَقَدْ بَعَثْتُمْ رُسُلاً إِلَى يُوحَنَّا فَشَهِدَ لِلْحَقِّ. 34 وَأَنَا أَقُولُ هَذَا لَا لأَنِّي أَعْتَمِدُ عَلَى شَهَادَةِ إِنْسَانٍ، بَلْ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَلاصِكُمْ، 35 فَقَدْ كَانَ يُوحَنَّا مِصْبَاحاً مُتَوَهِّجاً مُضِيئاً، وَشِئْتُمْ أَنْ تَسْتَمْتِعُوا بِنُورِهِ فَتْرَةً مِنَ الزَّمَنِ. 36 وَلكِنَّ لِي شَهَادَةً أَعْظَمَ مِنْ شَهَادَةِ يُوحَنَّا، وَهِيَ شَهَادَةُ الأَعْمَالِ الَّتِي كَلَّفَنِي الآبُ أَنْ أُنْجِزَهَا وَالَّتِي أَعْمَلُهَا، فَهِيَ تَشْهَدُ لِي مُبَيِّنَةً أَنَّ الآبَ أَرْسَلَنِي، 37 وَالآبُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ نَفْسُهُ أَيْضاً يَشْهَدُ لِي. وَأَنْتُمْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا صَوْتَهُ قَطُّ، وَلا رَأَيْتُمْ هَيْئَتَهُ، 38 وَلا ثَبَتَتْ كَلِمَتُهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ، بِدَلِيلِ أَنَّكُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ. 39 أَنْتُمْ تَدْرُسُونَ الْكُتُبَ لأَنَّكُمْ تَعْتَقِدُونَ أَنَّهَا سَتَهْدِيكُمْ إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ. هذِهِ الْكُتُبُ تَشْهَدُ لِي، 40 وَلكِنَّكُمْ تَرْفُضُونَ أَنْ تَأْتُوا إِلَيَّ لِتَكُونَ لَكُمُ الْحَيَاةُ.

41 لَسْتُ أَقْبَلُ مَجْداً مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّاسِ. 42 وَلكِنِّي أَعْرِفُكُمْ، وَأَعْرِفُ أَنَّ مَحَبَّةَ اللهِ لَيْسَتْ فِي نُفُوسِكُمْ. 43 فَقَدْ جِئْتُ بِاسْمِ أَبِي وَلَمْ تَقْبَلُونِي، وَلكِنَّكُمْ تُرَحِّبُونَ بِمَنْ يَجِيءُ بِاسْمِ نَفْسِهِ. 44 مِنْ أَيْنَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِي وَأَنْتُمْ تَقْبَلُونَ الْمَجْدَ بَعْضُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، دُونَ أَنْ تَسْعَوْا فِي طَلَبِ الْمَجْدِ الَّذِي لَا يَمْنَحُهُ إِلّا اللهُ!

45 لَا تَظُنُّوا أَنِّي أَشْكُوكُمْ إِلَى الآبِ، فَإِنَّ هُنَالِكَ مَنْ يَشْكُوكُمْ، وَهُوَ مُوسَى الَّذِي عَلَّقْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ رَجَاءَكُمْ. 46 فَلَوْ كُنْتُمْ صَدَّقْتُمْ مُوسَى، لَكُنْتُمْ صَدَّقْتُمُونِي، لأَنَّهُ هُوَ كَتَبَ عَنِّي. 47 وَإذَا كُنْتُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ مَا كَتَبَهُ مُوسَى، فَكَيْفَ تُصَدِّقُونَ كَلامِي؟»

Jesus Heals a Man at a Pool

Later Jesus went to Jerusalem for a special Jewish feast. In Jerusalem there is a pool with five covered porches. In the Jewish language[a] it is called Bethzatha.[b] This pool is near the Sheep Gate. Many sick people were lying on the porches beside the pool. Some were blind, some were crippled, and some were paralyzed [and they waited for the water to move. Sometimes an angel of the Lord came down to the pool and stirred up the water. After the angel did this, the first person to go into the pool was healed from any sickness he had].[c] There was a man lying there who had been sick for 38 years. Jesus saw the man and knew that he had been sick for a very long time. So Jesus asked him, “Do you want to be well?”

The sick man answered, “Sir, there is no one to help me get into the pool when the water starts moving. I try to be the first one into the water. But when I try, someone else always goes in before I can.”

Then Jesus said, “Stand up. Pick up your mat and walk.” And immediately the man was well. He picked up his mat and began to walk.

The day all this happened was a Sabbath day. 10 So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “Today is the Sabbath. It is against our law for you to carry your mat on the Sabbath day.”

11 But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’

12 Then they asked him, “Who is the man who told you to pick up your mat and walk?”

13 But the man who had been healed did not know who it was. There were many people in that place, and Jesus had left.

14 Later, Jesus found the man at the Temple. Jesus said to him, “See, you are well now. But stop sinning or something worse may happen to you!”

15 Then the man left and went back to the Jews. He told them that Jesus was the one who had made him well.

16 Jesus was doing this on the Sabbath day. So the Jews began to do bad things to him. 17 But Jesus said to them, “My Father never stops working. And so I work, too.”

18 This made the Jews try harder to kill him. They said, “First Jesus was breaking the law about the Sabbath day. Then he said that God is his own Father! He is making himself equal with God!”

Jesus Has God’s Authority

19 But Jesus said, “I tell you the truth. The Son can do nothing alone. The Son does only what he sees his Father doing. The Son does whatever the Father does. 20 The Father loves the Son, and the Father shows the Son all the things he himself does. But the Father will show the Son greater things than this to do. Then you will all be amazed. 21 The Father raises the dead and gives them life. In the same way, the Son gives life to those he wants to. 22 Also, the Father judges no one. But the Father has given the Son power to do all the judging. 23 God did this so that all people will respect the Son the same way they respect the Father. He who does not respect the Son does not respect the Father. The Father is the One who sent the Son.

24 “I tell you the truth. Whoever hears what I say and believes in the One who sent me has eternal life. He will not be judged guilty. He has already left death and has entered into life. 25 I tell you the truth. The time is coming and is already here when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God. And those who hear will have life. 26 Life comes from the Father himself. So the Father has allowed the Son to give life. 27 And the Father has given the Son the approval to judge because he is the Son of Man. 28 Don’t be surprised at this. A time is coming when all who are dead and in their graves will hear his voice. 29 Then they will come out of their graves. Those who did good will rise and have life forever. But those who did evil will rise to be judged guilty.

Jesus Is God’s Son

30 “I can do nothing alone. I judge only the way I am told, so my judgment is right. I don’t try to please myself. I try to please the One who sent me.

31 “If I tell people about myself, then they will not accept what I say about myself. 32 But there is another who tells about me. And I know that the things he says about me are true.

33 “You have sent men to John. And he has told you about the truth. 34 But I don’t need a man to tell about me. I tell you this so that you can be saved. 35 John was like a burning and shining lamp. And you were happy to enjoy his light for a while.

36 “But I have a proof about myself that is greater than that of John. The things I do are my proof. These are the things my Father gave me to do. They show that the Father sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me has given proof about me himself. You have never heard his voice. You have never seen what he looks like. 38 His teaching does not live in you because you don’t believe in the One that the Father sent. 39 You carefully study the Scriptures because you think that they give you eternal life. Those are the same Scriptures that tell about me! 40 But you refuse to come to me to have that life.

41 “I don’t want praise from men. 42 But I know you—I know that you don’t have God’s love in you. 43 I have come from my Father—I speak for him. But you don’t accept me. But when another person comes, speaking only for himself, you will accept him. 44 You like to have praise from each other. But you never try to get the praise that comes from the only God. So how can you believe? 45 Don’t think that I will stand before the Father and say that you are wrong. Moses is the one who says that you are wrong. And he is the one that you hoped would save you. 46 If you really believed Moses, you would believe me because Moses wrote about me. 47 But you don’t believe what Moses wrote. So how can you believe what I say?”
