聖書はイエスを指し示す
5 その後、ユダヤ人の祭りがあったので、イエスはエルサレムに戻られました。 2 エルサレム市内には、羊の門の近くにベテスダという池がありました。池の回りには、屋根つきの五つの廊下があります。 3 そこに、足の不自由な人、盲人、手足のまひした人など、大ぜいの病人が横たわっていました。この人たちは、水面が揺れ動くのを待っていたのです。 4 というのは、時たま天使が降りて来て水をかき回すことがあり、そのとき最初に池に入った人は、病気が治ったからです。 5 その中に、三十八年間も病気で苦しんでいる男がいました。 6 イエスはこの男をごらんになり、彼が長い間どんなに苦しんできたかを知って、「よくなりたいですか」とお尋ねになりました。 7 「もう、あきらめているんです。せっかく水が動いても、だれも池に入れてはくれないんだから。何とかして行こうとしている間に、いつでもほかの人が先に入ってしまうのです。」 8 「さあ、立って、床をたたんで家に帰りなさい。」 9 イエスがこう言われると、たちまち男は治って、すぐに床をたたんで歩きだしたのです。
ところがこの奇跡が行われたのが安息日（神の定めた休息日）だったので、 10 ユダヤ人の指導者たちはひどく腹を立て、その男を責めました。「安息日に労働するとはけしからん。床を上げて運んだりするのは違反だ！」 11 「でも、私を治してくださった方が、そうしろとおっしゃったんです。」 12 「そんなことを言ったのはだれだ！」彼らは問い詰めましたが、 13 男にも、だれだかわかりません。イエスはすでに、人ごみに姿を消しておられたからです。 14 しばらくして、イエスは宮でその男を見つけ、声をおかけになりました。「どうですか、すっかりよくなったでしょう。もう前のように罪を犯してはいけませんよ。そうでないと、もっとひどい目に会うかもしれませんから。」 15 男はユダヤ人の指導者たちを捜し出し、治してくれたのはイエスだと告げました。 16 ユダヤ人の指導者たちは、イエスを安息日の違反者だとして、しつこく攻撃を始めました。 17 ところが、イエスはお答えになりました。「わたしの父は、絶えず良い働きをしておられます。わたしはその模範にならっているのです。」 18 これを聞いたユダヤ人の指導者たちは、ますます、イエスを殺そうと思うようになりました。イエスが安息日のおきてを破ったばかりか、事もあろうに神を「父」と呼んで、自分を神と等しい者としたからです。
19 イエスはお答えになりました。「よく言っておきます。子は自分からは何もできません。ただ父がしておられることを見て、同じようにするだけです。 20 父は子を愛して、自分のすることは何でも子に教えてくださるのです。神の子は、病気を治すということなどとは比べものにならない驚くべき奇跡を行います。 21 父が死人を生き返らせるように、子も、思うままに人を死人の中から生き返らせもするのです。 22 父は、罪のさばきをいっさい子に任せておられます。 23 すべての者が父を敬うように、子をも敬うためです。だから、父なる神がお遣わしになった神の子を敬わないのは、父を敬わないのに等しいのです。 24 よく言っておきます。わたしの言うことを聞き、わたしを遣わされた神を信じる人にはだれでも、永遠のいのちがあります。罪のために罰せられることは絶対にありません。すでに死からいのちに移っているのです。 25 はっきり告げましょう。死人が神の子であるわたしの声を聞く時が、もうすぐ来ます。いや、もう来ているのです。そして、聞いた者は生きます。 26 父がご自分のいのちを、子にも与えてくださったからです。 27 また、全人類の罪をさばく権威も下さいました。それもみな、子がメシヤだからです。 28 驚いてはいけません。墓の中の死人がみな、神の子の声を聞く時が来ます。 29 その時、彼らは復活します。良いことをしてきた者は永遠のいのちをいただくために、悪いことをし続けてきた者はさばきを受けるためにです。
30 しかしわたしは、父と相談もせずにさばいたりはしません。ただ言われるとおりにさばくだけです。ですから、わたしのさばきは絶対に公平で正しいのです。自分の考えだけによらず、わたしを遣わされた神の意思に従ってさばくからです。 31 わたしが自分について証言しても、だれも信じないでしょう。 32 しかし、わたしのことを証言してくださる方がほかにおられます。その方の証言はまちがいなく真実です。 33 あなたがたは、バプテスマのヨハネの教えを聞こうとわざわざ出かけて行きました。確かに、ヨハネがわたしについて証言したことはほんとうのことです。 34 しかし、わたしについての最高の証言は、人間による証言ではありません。ただ、ヨハネが証言していたことを思い出せば、あなたがたもわたしを信じて救われるかもしれないと願って、ヨハネのことを話しているのです。 35 ヨハネはしばらくの間、ひときわ明るく輝き、あなたがたもそれを喜びました。 36 しかしわたしには、ヨハネの証言よりも、もっとすぐれた証言があります。それは、わたしの行う奇跡です。これらの奇跡は、父がわたしに託されたもので、父がわたしをお遣わしになったという動かぬ証拠なのです。 37 また、父ご自身は直接あなたがたに姿を現したり、語りかけたりはなさいませんが、わたしのことを証言しておられます。 38 ところが、あなたがたは父のことばを聞こうともしません。神のことづけを伝えるために遣わされたわたしを信じないのですから。
39 あなたがたは、永遠のいのちを見つけようと熱心に聖書を調べています。その聖書がわたしを指し示しているのです。 40 それなのにあなたがたは、わたしのところに来ようとはしません。だから永遠のいのちを受けることができないのです。 41-42 あなたがたがわたしを認めなくてもかまいません。あなたがたのうちには神の愛がないのですから。 43 わたしは父の代理として来たのに、あなたがたは喜んで迎えてはくれません。それどころか、自分の権威で来るほかの者は、手をたたいて迎えるのです。 44 もっとも、あなたがたが信じられないのもむりはありません。互いにほめ合ったり、ほめられたりすることは喜んでも、ただ一人の神からほめていただくことには関心がないのですから。 45 しかし、このことであなたがたを父に訴えるのはわたしではありません。それはモーセです。あなたがたはモーセの律法にひたすら天国への望みをかけていますが、律法を与えた当のモーセがあなたがたを訴えるのです。 46 それもみな、あなたがたがほんとうはモーセを信じていないからです。なぜなら、モーセはわたしのことを書いたのです。そのモーセを信じないなら、わたしをも信じないのです。 47 モーセの書を信じないくらいだから、わたしのことばを信じないのも不思議はありません。」

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)

A Man Healed at the Pool of Bethesda
5 After (A)this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus (B)went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem (C)by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, [a]Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, [b]paralyzed, [c]waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. 5 Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?”
7 The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”
8 Jesus said to him, (D)“Rise, take up your bed and walk.” 9 And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked.
And (E)that day was the Sabbath. 10 The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath; (F)it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.”
11 He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.’ ”
12 Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?” 13 But the one who was (G)healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. (H)Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.”
15 The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
Honor the Father and the Son
16 For this reason the Jews (I)persecuted Jesus, [d]and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, (J)“My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”
18 Therefore the Jews (K)sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, (L)making Himself equal with God. 19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, (M)the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. 20 For (N)the Father loves the Son, and (O)shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel. 21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, (P)even so the Son gives life to whom He will. 22 For the Father judges no one, but (Q)has committed all judgment to the Son, 23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. (R)He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
Life and Judgment Are Through the Son
24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, (S)he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, (T)but has passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when (U)the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. 26 For (V)as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have (W)life in Himself, 27 and (X)has given Him authority to execute judgment also, (Y)because He is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will (Z)hear His voice 29 (AA)and come forth—(AB)those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. 30 (AC)I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because (AD)I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
The Fourfold Witness
31 (AE)“If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not [e]true. 32 (AF)There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true. 33 You have sent to John, (AG)and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved. 35 He was the burning and (AH)shining lamp, and (AI)you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. 36 But (AJ)I have a greater witness than John’s; for (AK)the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very (AL)works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me. 37 And the Father Himself, who sent Me, (AM)has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, (AN)nor seen His form. 38 But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe. 39 (AO)You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and (AP)these are they which testify of Me. 40 (AQ)But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
41 (AR)“I do not receive honor from men. 42 But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you. 43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. 44 (AS)How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek (AT)the honor that comes from the only God? 45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; (AU)there is one who accuses you—Moses, in whom you trust. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; (AV)for he wrote about Me. 47 But if you (AW)do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”
