在毕士大池边治病

这些事以后,到了犹太人的一个节期,耶稣上耶路撒冷去。

耶路撒冷,靠近羊门有一个池子,希伯来话叫毕士大[a],旁边有五个柱廊; 里面躺着许多病人,有失明的、瘸腿的、瘫痪的[b] 在那里有一个人,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?” 病人回答他:“先生,水动的时候,没有人把我放在池子里;我正要去的时候,别人比我先下去了。” 耶稣对他说:“起来,拿起你的褥子走吧!” 那人立刻痊愈,就拿起自己的褥子走了。

那天是安息日, 10 所以犹太人对那被治好了的人说:“今天是安息日,你拿褥子是不合法的。” 11 他却回答他们:“那使我痊愈的人对我说:‘拿起你的褥子走吧!’” 12 他们问他:“对你说‘拿起褥子走’的是什么人?” 13 那治好了的人不知道那人是谁,因为那里人很多,耶稣已经躲开了。 14 后来耶稣在圣殿里找到他,对他说:“你已经痊愈了,不要再犯罪,免得你的遭遇更坏。” 15 那人就去告诉犹太人,使他痊愈的是耶稣。 16 所以犹太人迫害耶稣,因为他在安息日做了这些事。 17 耶稣就回答他们:“我父做事直到如今,我也做事。” 18 为了这缘故,犹太人越发想要杀他,因为他不但犯了安息日,而且称 神为他的父,把自己和 神看为同等。

圣子的权柄

19 于是耶稣回答,对他们说:“我实实在在地告诉你们,子凭着自己不能做什么,惟有看见父所做的,他才做;父所做的事,子也照样做。 20 父爱子,将自己所做的一切事指示给他看,还要将比这更大的事给他看,使你们惊讶。 21 父怎样叫死人复活,赐他们生命,子也照样随自己的意愿赐人生命。 22 父不审判任何人,而是把审判的事全交给子, 23 为要使人都尊敬子,如同尊敬父一样。不尊敬子的,就是不尊敬差子来的父。

24 “我实实在在地告诉你们,那听我话又信差我来那位的,就有永生,不至于被定罪,而是已经出死入生了。 25 我实实在在地告诉你们,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 因为父怎样自己里面有生命,也照样赐给他儿子自己里面有生命, 27 并且赐给他施行审判的权柄,因为他是人子。 28 你们不要对这事感到惊讶,因为时候将到,凡在坟墓里的,都要听见他的声音, 29 并且要出来:行善的,复活得生命;作恶的,复活被定罪。

30 “我凭着自己不能做什么。我怎么听见就怎么审判,而我的审判是公平的,因为我不寻求自己的意愿,只寻求差我来那位的旨意。”

为耶稣作见证

31 “我若为自己作见证,我的见证就不真。 32 另有一位为我作见证,我也知道他为我作的见证是真的。 33 你们曾差人到约翰那里,他为真理作过见证。 34 其实,我所受的见证不是从人来的;然而,我说这些话是为了使你们得救。 35 约翰是点亮的明灯,你们情愿因他的光欢欣一时。 36 但我有比约翰更大的见证:父交给我去完成的工作,就是我正在做的,为我作证是父差遣了我。 37 那差我来的父也为我作了见证。你们从来没有听见他的声音,也没有看见他的形像。 38 你们并没有他的道存在心里,因为你们不信他所差来的那一位。 39 你们查考圣经,因你们以为其中有永生;而这经正是为我作见证的。 40 然而,你们不肯到我这里来得生命。

41 “我不接受从人来的荣耀, 42 但我知道,你们没有爱 神的心。 43 我奉我父的名来了,你们并不接纳我;若有别人奉自己的名来,你们倒会接纳他。 44 你们互相受荣耀,却不寻求从独一 神来的荣耀,怎能信我呢? 45 不要以为我会在父面前告你们;有一位告你们的,就是你们所仰望的摩西 46 如果你们信摩西,也会信我,因为他写过关于我的事。 47 你们若不信他的书,怎能信我的话呢?”

耶穌在畢士大池邊治病

這事以後,猶太人的一個節期到了,耶穌便上耶路撒冷。 耶路撒冷靠近羊門的地方有一個水池,希伯來話叫畢士大,池邊有五條走廊, 裡面躺著瞎眼的、瘸腿的、癱瘓的等許多病人。 他們都在等候天使來攪動池水。水動時,第一個下去的,無論患了什麼病都會痊癒。[a]

那裡有一個人病了三十八年。 耶穌看他躺著,知道他病了很久,就問他:「你想痊癒嗎?」

那人回答說:「先生,水動的時候,沒有人把我放進池子裡,我要下去的時候,別人總是先我一步。」

耶穌對他說:「起來,拿起你的墊子走吧!」

那人立刻痊癒了,拿起墊子開始行走。那天正好是安息日, 10 猶太人便對那人說:「今天是安息日,你不可拿著墊子走路。」

11 他說:「那位醫好我的叫我拿起墊子走。」

12 他們問他:「叫你拿起墊子走的人是誰?」

13 那人不知道是誰,因為那裡人多,耶穌已經躲開了。

14 後來,耶穌在聖殿裡遇見他,對他說:「現在你已經完全好了,別再犯罪了,免得你遭遇更不幸的事。」

15 那人便去告訴猶太人醫好他的是耶穌。 16 因為耶穌在安息日給人治病,猶太人開始迫害祂。 17 耶穌對他們說:「我父一直在工作,我也一直在工作。」

18 猶太人聽了,更想殺祂,因祂不但違犯了安息日的規矩,還稱上帝為父,把自己看作與上帝平等。

聖子的權柄

19 耶穌說:「我實實在在地告訴你們,子憑自己什麼都不能做,唯有看見父做什麼,子才做什麼。無論父做什麼,子也照樣做。 20 父因為愛子,便把自己的一切作為給祂看,而且還要把比這些更大的作為給祂看,叫你們驚奇。 21 父如何使死人復活、賜生命給他們,子也照樣想賜生命給誰,就賜給誰。 22 父不審判人,祂將審判的事全交給子, 23 叫人尊敬子如同尊敬父。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,誰聽從我的話,又信差我來的那位,誰就有永生,不被定罪,已經出死入生了。 25 我實實在在地告訴你們,時候快到了,現在就是,死人將聽見上帝兒子的聲音,聽見的將存活。 26 因為正如父自己是生命的源頭,祂也同樣讓子作生命的源頭, 27 又把審判的權柄交給祂,因為祂是人子。 28 你們不要因此而驚奇,時候一到,一切在墳墓裡的死人都要聽見上帝兒子的聲音, 29 他們都要從墳墓裡出來。行善的人復活後得永生,作惡的人復活後被定罪。」

見證耶穌

30 耶穌繼續說:「我憑自己不能做什麼,我按父上帝的旨意審判,我的審判是公平的;因為我不是按自己的旨意行,而是按差我來者的旨意行。

31 「如果我為自己做見證,我的見證是無效的。 32 然而,有別的人給我做見證,我知道他為我做的見證是真實的。 33 你們曾派人到約翰那裡,他為真理做過見證。 34 其實我並不需要人的見證,我之所以提起這些事是為了使你們得救。 35 約翰是一盞點亮的明燈,你們情願暫時享受他的光。 36 但是我有比約翰更大的見證,因為父交待我去完成的工作,就是我現在所做的工作,證明我是父差來的。 37 差我來的父曾親自為我做過見證。你們從未聽過祂的聲音,從未見過祂, 38 心裡也沒有祂的道,因為你們不信祂所差來的那位。 39 你們研讀聖經,以為從聖經中可以得到永生。其實為我做見證的正是這聖經, 40 但你們卻不肯到我這裡來得生命。

41 「我不接受人所給予的榮耀, 42 我知道你們沒有愛上帝的心。 43 我奉我父的名來,你們不接受我;若有人奉自己的名來,你們卻接受他。 44 你們喜歡互相恭維,卻不追求從獨一上帝來的榮耀,怎能信我呢? 45 不要以為我會在父面前控告你們,其實控告你們的是你們一直信賴的摩西。 46 你們若信摩西,就應該信我,因為他的書裡也提到我。 47 如果你們連他寫的都不信,又怎能信我的話呢?」

  1. 5·4 有些經卷無「他們都在等候天使來攪動池水。水動時,第一個下去的,無論患了什麼病都會痊癒。」

Afterwards Jesus returned to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish religious holidays. Inside the city, near the Sheep Gate, was Bethesda Pool, with five covered platforms or porches surrounding it. Crowds of sick folks—lame, blind, or with paralyzed limbs—lay on the platforms (waiting for a certain movement of the water, 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]

One of the men lying there had been sick for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him and knew how long he had been ill, he asked him, “Would you like to get well?”

“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.”

Jesus told him, “Stand up, roll up your sleeping mat and go on home!”

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.”
