John 5
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?
約翰福音 5
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
治癒池邊的病人
5 這些事以後,猶太人的一個節日到了,耶穌就上耶路撒冷去。 2 在耶路撒冷的羊門附近有一個池子,希伯來語[a]叫做「貝示達[b]」,那裡有五道柱廊。 3 柱廊裡躺著一群患病的,有瞎眼的、瘸腿的、癱瘓的。他們正等著池水動起來, 4 因為主的天使按時下到池子裡攪動池水。每次水動起來時,第一個下到池子裡的人,無論患什麼病都會痊癒。[c]
5 那裡有一個人,病了三十八年。 6 耶穌見這個人躺在那裡,知道他已經病了很久,就問他:「你想痊癒嗎?」
7 那個病人回答:「先生,池水被攪動的時候,沒有人把我放進池子裡;而正當我要下去的時候,別人總比我先下去。」
8 耶穌對他說:「起來,拿起你的墊子走路吧!」 9 那個人立刻痊癒了,就拿起他的墊子開始走路。
那天是安息日, 10 所以那些猶太人對那得了痊癒的人說:「今天是安息日,你拿著墊子是不可以的!」
11 他就回答:「是那個使我痊癒的人對我說『拿起你的墊子走路吧。』」
12 他們問:「對你說『拿起[d]墊子走路』的那個人是誰?」 13 那得了痊癒的人並不知道他是誰,因為那裡有一群人,而耶穌已經抽身離去了。
14 這些事以後,耶穌在聖殿裡找到他,對他說:「看,你已經痊癒了。不要再犯罪,免得更嚴重的事臨到你。」 15 那個人就去向那些猶太人報告說,使他痊癒的是耶穌。
父與子
16 那些猶太人之所以逼迫耶穌,[e]是因為他在安息日做這些事。 17 耶穌卻對他們說:「直到如今,我父在做工,我也在做工。」 18 為此,那些猶太人更想要殺他,因為他不僅干犯了安息日,還稱神是他的父,把自己當做與神同等的。
19 耶穌對他們說:「我確確實實地告訴你們:子憑著自己什麼也不能做,只有看見父所做的,子才能做,因為父所做的事,子也同樣地做。 20 原來,父喜愛子,把自己所做的一切都給他看,還要把比這些更大的事給他看,使你們感到驚奇。 21 因為父怎樣使死人復活,賜他們生命,子也照樣按自己的意願賜人生命。 22 事實上,父並不審判任何人,而把一切審判的事都交給了子, 23 好使所有的人都尊重子,就像尊重父那樣。不尊重子的,就是不尊重派他來的父。
生命與審判
24 「我確確實實地告訴你們:誰聽我的話,又相信派我來的那一位,誰就有永恆的生命。他不但不被定罪,而且已經出死入生了。
25 「我確確實實地告訴你們:時候就要到了,現在就是了!當死人聽見神兒子的聲音時,聽到的人就將活了。 26 原來,父怎樣在自己裡面有生命,也照樣使子在自己裡面有生命; 27 並且把審判的權柄交給了他,因為他是人子。 28 你們不要為此感到驚奇:時候就要到了!那時所有在墳墓裡的人,都會聽到他的聲音, 29 並且要出來——行善的人復活得生命,作惡的人復活被定罪。
30 「我憑自己什麼也不能做。我怎麼聽見,就怎麼審判,而且我的審判是公義的,因為我不求自己的意思,而求那派我來者[f]的意思。
為子做見證
31 「如果我為自己做見證,我的見證就無效[g]。 32 為我做見證的另有一位,並且我知道,他為我做的見證是有效[h]的。 33 你們曾經派人到約翰那裡,他為真理做了見證。 34 其實我所接受的見證不是從人來的。不過我說這些話,是為了要你們得救。 35 約翰是一盞燃燒發光的燈,你們情願在他的光裡快樂一時。
36 「我有比約翰更大的見證,因為父交給我工作要我去完成。我現在做的這些工作正為我見證:就是父差派了我。 37 派我來的父也親自為我做了見證。你們從來沒有聽到他的聲音,也沒有看到他的相貌, 38 更沒有把他的話語[i]存在你們裡面,因為你們不信他所派來的那一位。 39 你們查考經文,因你們以為從中可以得到永恆的生命。其實這經文就是為我做見證的。 40 可是你們不肯到我這裡來得生命。
41 「我不接受從人而來的榮耀。 42 不過我了解你們,你們裡面沒有屬神的愛。 43 我奉我父的名來了,你們卻不接受我;如果有別人奉自己的名而來,你們倒會接受他。 44 你們彼此接受榮耀,卻不尋求從獨一的神而來的榮耀,那怎麼能信呢? 45 不要以為我將要在父面前控告你們,有一位控告你們的,就是你們所仰賴的摩西。 46 事實上,如果你們信摩西,就會信我,因為他寫了關於我的事; 47 如果你們不相信他所寫的,又怎麼會相信我的話呢?」
John 5
New International Version
The Healing at the Pool
5 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate(A) a pool, which in Aramaic(B) is called Bethesda[a] and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 3 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. [4] [b] 5 One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
7 “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”
8 Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.”(C) 9 At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked.
The day on which this took place was a Sabbath,(D) 10 and so the Jewish leaders(E) said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat.”(F)
11 But he replied, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’ ”
12 So they asked him, “Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?”
13 The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.
14 Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning(G) or something worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jewish leaders(H) that it was Jesus who had made him well.
The Authority of the Son
16 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. 17 In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father(I) is always at his work(J) to this very day, and I too am working.” 18 For this reason they tried all the more to kill him;(K) not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.(L)
19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself;(M) he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son(N) and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these,(O) so that you will be amazed. 21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life,(P) even so the Son gives life(Q) to whom he is pleased to give it. 22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,(R) 23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.(S)
24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me(T) has eternal life(U) and will not be judged(V) but has crossed over from death to life.(W) 25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come(X) when the dead will hear(Y) the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life(Z) in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge(AA) because he is the Son of Man.
28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming(AB) when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.(AC) 30 By myself I can do nothing;(AD) I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just,(AE) for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.(AF)
Testimonies About Jesus
31 “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.(AG) 32 There is another who testifies in my favor,(AH) and I know that his testimony about me is true.
33 “You have sent to John and he has testified(AI) to the truth. 34 Not that I accept human testimony;(AJ) but I mention it that you may be saved.(AK) 35 John was a lamp that burned and gave light,(AL) and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.
36 “I have testimony weightier than that of John.(AM) For the works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing(AN)—testify that the Father has sent me.(AO) 37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me.(AP) You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,(AQ) 38 nor does his word dwell in you,(AR) for you do not believe(AS) the one he sent.(AT) 39 You study[c] the Scriptures(AU) diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life.(AV) These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,(AW) 40 yet you refuse to come to me(AX) to have life.
41 “I do not accept glory from human beings,(AY) 42 but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts. 43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. 44 How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God[d]?(AZ)
45 “But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses,(BA) on whom your hopes are set.(BB) 46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.(BC) 47 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?”(BD)
