A Paralytic Is Healed
5 After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool called in Aramaic Bethzatha,[a] which has five porticoes. 3 In these were lying a large number of those who were sick, blind, lame, paralyzed.[b] 5 And a certain man was there who had been thirty-eight years in his sickness. 6 Jesus, when he[c] saw this one lying there and knew that he had been sick[d] a long time already, said to him, “Do you want to become well?” 7 The one who was sick answered him, “Sir, I do not have anyone that, whenever the water is stirred up, could put me into the pool. But while[e] I am coming, another goes down before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk!” 9 And immediately the man became well and picked up his mat and began to walk.[f] (Now it was the Sabbath on that day.)
10 So the Jews were saying to the one who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not permitted for you to pick up the mat!”[g] 11 But he answered them, “The one who made me well—that one said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk!’” 12 So they asked him,[h] “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick up your mat[i] and walk?’” 13 But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn while[j] a crowd was in the place.
Equal with God
14 After these things Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “Look, you have become well! Sin no longer, lest something worse happen to you.” 15 The man went and reported to the Jews that Jesus was the one who made him well. 16 And on account of this the Jews began to persecute[k] Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But he answered[l] them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.” 18 So on account of this the Jews were seeking even more to kill him, because he not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God his own Father, thus[m] making himself equal with God.
The Authority of the Son
19 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, the Son can do nothing from himself except what he sees the Father doing. For whatever that one does, these things also the Son does likewise. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything that he himself is doing. And greater works than these he will show him, so that you will be astonished. 21 For just as the Father raises the dead and makes them[n] alive, thus also the Son makes alive whomever he wishes. 22 For the Father does not judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son, 23 in order that all people[o] will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly I say to you that the one who hears my word and who believes the one who sent me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
25 “Truly, truly I say to you, that an hour is coming—and now is here—when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and the ones who hear will live. 26 For just as the Father has life in himself, thus also he has granted to the Son to have life in himself. 27 And he has granted him authority to carry out judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
28 “Do not be astonished at this, because an hour is coming in which all those in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and they will come out—those who have done good things to a resurrection of life, but those who have practiced evil things to a resurrection of judgment. 30 I am able to do nothing from myself. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the one who sent me.
Further Testimony About the Son
31 “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true. 33 You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth. 34 (And I do not receive testimony from people, but I say these things in order that you may be saved.) 35 That one was the lamp which was burning and shining, and you wanted to rejoice for an hour in his light.
36 “But I have a testimony greater than John’s, for the works which the Father has given to me that I should complete them—the very works which I am doing—these testify about me, that the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me, that one has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form. 38 And you do not have his word residing in yourselves, because the one whom that one sent, in this one you do not believe. 39 You search[p] the scriptures because you think that you have eternal life in them, and it is these that testify about me. 40 And you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.
41 “I do not accept glory[q] from people, 42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves. 43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me. If another should come in his own name, you would accept that one! 44 How are you able to believe, if you[r] accept glory from one another, and do not seek the glory which is from the only God? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father! The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have put your hope! 46 For if you had believed Moses, you would believe me, for that one wrote about me. 47 But if you do not believe that one’s writings, how will you believe my words?”

Ang Pagpapagaling sa Bethzata
5 Pagkaraan nito'y dumating ang isang pista ng mga Judio, at pumunta si Jesus sa Jerusalem. 2 Sa lungsod na ito, malapit sa Pintuan ng mga Tupa ay may malaking imbakan ng tubig na may limang portiko. Kung tawagin ito sa wikang Hebreo ay Bethzata.[a] 3 Nasa paligid nito ang maraming maysakit, mga bulag, mga pilay, at mga paralitiko. [4 Sila'y naghihintay na gumalaw ang tubig, dahil may panahong ang isang anghel ng Panginoon ay bumababa at pinapagalaw ang tubig, at ang maunang lumusong sa tubig matapos na ito'y gumalaw ay gumagaling sa anumang karamdaman.][b]
5 May isang lalaki doon na tatlumpu't walong taon nang may sakit. 6 Nakita siya ni Jesus at alam niyang matagal nang may sakit ang lalaki kaya't tinanong niya ito, “Gusto mo bang gumaling?”
7 Sumagot ang maysakit, “Ginoo, wala pong maglulusong sa akin kapag gumalaw na ang tubig; papunta pa lamang ako, may nauuna na sa akin.”
8 Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Tumayo ka, buhatin mo ang iyong higaan at lumakad ka.” 9 Noon di'y gumaling ang lalaki, binuhat ang kanyang higaan, at lumakad.
Noo'y Araw ng Pamamahinga 10 kaya't(A) sinabi ng mga pinuno ng mga Judio sa lalaking pinagaling, “Araw ng Pamamahinga ngayon! Labag sa Kautusan na dalhin mo ang iyong higaan.”
11 Ngunit sumagot siya, “Ang nagpagaling po sa akin ang nagsabing buhatin ko ang aking higaan at lumakad ako.”
12 At siya'y tinanong nila, “Sino ang nagsabi sa iyong buhatin mo ang iyong higaan at lumakad ka?” 13 Ngunit hindi alam ng lalaki kung sino ang nagpagaling sa kanya, sapagkat maraming tao sa lugar na iyon at nakaalis na si Jesus.
14 Pagkatapos nito, nakita ni Jesus sa loob ng Templo ang lalaki at sinabihan itong, “Magaling ka na ngayon! Huwag ka nang gumawa ng kasalanan at baka masahol pa riyan ang mangyari sa iyo.”
15 Umalis ang lalaki at sinabi sa mga Judio na si Jesus ang nagpagaling sa kanya. 16 Dahil dito, si Jesus ay sinimulang usigin ng mga pinuno ng mga Judio, sapagkat ginawa niya ito sa Araw ng Pamamahinga.
17 Ngunit sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Ang aking Ama ay patuloy sa kanyang gawain hanggang ngayon, at gayundin ako.” 18 Lalo(B) namang pinagsikapan ng mga Judio na ipapatay siya, sapagkat hindi lamang niya nilabag ang batas tungkol sa Araw ng Pamamahinga, sinasabi pa niyang ang Diyos ang kanyang Ama, at sa gayon ay ipinapantay ang kanyang sarili sa Diyos.
Ang Kapangyarihan ng Anak
19 Kaya't sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Pakatandaan ninyo na walang magagawa ang Anak sa kanyang sarili lamang; ang nakikita niyang ginagawa ng Ama ang siya lamang niyang ginagawa. Ang ginagawa ng Ama ay siya ring ginagawa ng Anak, 20 sapagkat minamahal ng Ama ang Anak at ipinapakita sa Anak ang lahat ng ginagawa niya at higit pa sa mga ito ang mga gawang ipapakita sa kanya ng Ama upang kayo'y mamangha. 21 Kung paanong ibinabangon ng Ama ang mga patay at binibigyan sila ng buhay, gayundin naman, binubuhay ng Anak ang sinumang nais niyang buhayin. 22 Hindi humahatol kaninuman ang Ama, sa halip ay ibinigay na niya sa Anak ang buong kapangyarihang humatol 23 upang maparangalan ng lahat ang Anak, tulad ng kanilang pagpaparangal sa Ama. Ang hindi nagpaparangal sa Anak ay hindi nagpaparangal sa Ama na nagsugo sa Anak.
24 “Pakatandaan ninyo: ang nakikinig sa aking salita at sumasampalataya sa nagsugo sa akin ay may buhay na walang hanggan. Hindi na siya hahatulan kundi nakatawid na siya sa buhay mula sa kamatayan. 25 Pakatandaan ninyo na darating ang oras, at ngayon na nga, na maririnig ng mga patay ang tinig ng Anak ng Diyos at ang sinumang makinig sa kanya ay mabubuhay. 26 Kung paanong ang Ama mismo ang pinagmumulan ng buhay, gayon din naman ang Anak na binigyan niya ng ganoong karapatan. 27 Binigyan niya ang Anak ng kapangyarihang humatol, sapagkat siya ang Anak ng Tao. 28 Huwag ninyo itong pagtakhan, sapagkat darating ang oras na maririnig ng mga patay ang kanyang tinig 29 at sila'y(C) babangon. Lahat ng gumawa ng kabutihan ay babangon patungo sa buhay na walang hanggan, at lahat ng gumawa ng kasamaan ay babangon patungo sa kaparusahan.”
Mga Saksi para kay Jesus
30 “Wala akong magagawa sa sarili ko lamang. Humahatol ako ayon sa sinasabi sa akin ng Ama, kaya't matuwid ang hatol ko. Hindi ang sarili kong kalooban ang aking sinusunod kundi ang kalooban ng nagsugo sa akin.
31 “Kung ako lamang ang nagpapatotoo tungkol sa aking sarili, ang patotoo ko ay walang katotohanan. 32 Ngunit may ibang nagpapatotoo tungkol sa akin, at totoo ang kanyang sinasabi. 33 Nagpadala(D) kayo ng mga sugo kay Juan at nagpatotoo siya tungkol sa katotohanan. 34 Hindi sa kailangan ko ang patotoo ng tao; sinasabi ko lamang ito para maligtas kayo. 35 Si(E) Juan ay parang maningas na ilaw na nagliliwanag noon, at kayo'y sandaling nasiyahan sa kanyang liwanag. 36 Ngunit may patotoo tungkol sa akin na higit pa sa patotoo ni Juan. Ang mga gawang ipinapagawa sa akin ng Ama na siya ko namang ginaganap, ang nagpapatotoo na ako'y isinugo ng Ama. 37 At(F) ang Ama na nagsugo sa akin ay nagpapatotoo rin tungkol sa akin. Kailanma'y hindi ninyo narinig ang kanyang tinig ni nakita man ang kanyang anyo. 38 Hindi nanatili sa inyong mga puso ang kanyang salita sapagkat hindi kayo sumasampalataya sa isinugo niya. 39 Sinasaliksik(G) ninyo ang mga Kasulatan sa pag-aakalang doon ninyo matatagpuan ang buhay na walang hanggan. Ang mga Kasulatang iyan ang nagpapatotoo tungkol sa akin! 40 Ngunit ayaw naman ninyong lumapit sa akin upang kayo'y magkaroon ng buhay.
41 “Hindi ako naghahangad ng parangal ng tao. 42 Subalit kilala ko kayo; alam kong wala kayong pag-ibig sa Diyos. 43 Naparito ako sa pangalan ng aking Ama, subalit ayaw ninyo akong tanggapin. Kung may ibang pumarito sa kanyang sariling pangalan, siya'y inyong tatanggapin. 44 Paano kayo maniniwala sa akin kung ang hinahangad ninyo'y ang papuri ng isa't isa at hindi ang papuri na nanggagaling sa iisang Diyos? 45 Huwag ninyong isipin na ako ang magsasakdal laban sa inyo sa harapan ng Ama. Si Moises, na inaasahan ninyo, ang siyang maghaharap ng paratang laban sa inyo. 46 Kung talagang naniniwala kayo kay Moises, maniniwala din kayo sa akin, sapagkat sumulat siya tungkol sa akin. 47 Ngunit kung hindi kayo naniniwala sa mga isinulat niya, paano kayo maniniwala sa mga sinasabi ko?”
