約翰福音 5
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
耶穌在畢士大池邊治病
5 這事以後，猶太人的一個節期到了，耶穌便上耶路撒冷。 2 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， 3 裡面躺著瞎眼的、瘸腿的、癱瘓的等許多病人。 4 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]
5 那裡有一個人病了三十八年。 6 耶穌看他躺著，知道他病了很久，就問他：「你想痊癒嗎？」
7 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。」
8 耶穌對他說：「起來，拿起你的墊子走吧！」
9 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？」

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?
John 5
Wycliffe Bible
5 After these things there was a feast day of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 And in Jerusalem is a washing place, that in Hebrew is called Bethesda, and hath five porches. [Forsooth at Jerusalem is a standing water of beasts, that in Hebrew is called Bethesda, having five little gates, or entries.]
3 In these lay a great multitude of sick men, blind, crooked, and dry, abiding the moving of the water.
4 For the angel of the Lord came down certain times into the [standing] water, and the water was moved; and he that first came down into the cistern, after the moving of the water, was made whole of whatever sickness he was held [was made whole of whatever sickness he was holden with].
5 And a man was there [Forsooth some man was there], having eight and thirty years in his sickness.
6 And when Jesus had seen him lying, and had known, that he had much time [and had known, for now he had much time], he saith to him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 The sick man answered to him, Lord, I have no man, that when the water is moved [that when the water is troubled], to put me into the cistern; for while I come, another goeth down before me.
8 Jesus saith to him, Rise up, take thy bed, and go. [Jesus saith to him, Rise up, take thy bed, and wander.]
9 And at once the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and went forth [And anon the man is made whole, and took up his bed, and wandered]. And it was sabbath in that day.
10 Therefore the Jews said to him that was made whole, It is sabbath, it is not leaveful to thee, to take away thy bed.
11 He answered to them, He that made me whole, said to me, Take thy bed, and go [Take thy bed, and wander].
12 Therefore they asked him, What man is that, that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and go? [Therefore they asked him, Who is that man, that said to thee, Take thy bed and wander?]
13 But he that was made whole, wist not who it was. And Jesus bowed away from the people, that was set in the place [Forsooth Jesus bowed him from the company ordained, or set, in the place].
14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Lo! thou art made whole; now do not thou do sin [now do not thou sin], lest any worse thing befall to thee.
15 That man went, and told to the Jews, that it was Jesus that made him whole.
16 Therefore the Jews pursued Jesus, for he did this thing in the sabbath.
17 And Jesus answered to them, My Father worketh till now, and I work.
18 Therefore the Jews sought more to slay him, for not only he brake the sabbath, but [and] he said that God was his Father, and made him(self) even to God [making him even to God].
19 Therefore Jesus answered, and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son may not of himself do any thing, but that thing that he seeth the Father doing; for whatever things he doeth, the Son doeth in like manner those things [whatever things soothly he doeth, these things and the Son also doeth].
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth to him all things that he doeth; and he shall show to him greater works than these, that ye wonder.
21 For as the Father raiseth dead men, and quickeneth, [and] so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 For neither the Father judgeth any man, but hath given every doom to the Son [but hath given all the doom to the Son],
23 that all men honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father that sent him.
24 Truly, truly, I say to you, that he that heareth my word, and believeth in him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and he cometh not into doom, but passeth from death into life [hath everlasting life, and cometh not into doom, but passed from death into life].
25 Truly, truly, I say to you, for the hour cometh, and now it is, when dead men 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 he gave to the Son, to have life in himself;
27 and he gave to him power to make doom, for he is man's Son.
28 Do not ye wonder in this, for the hour cometh, in which all men that be in burials, shall hear the voice of God's Son.
29 And they that have done good things, shall go into again-rising of life; but they that have done evil things, into again-rising of doom. [And they that have done good things, shall come forth into rising again of life; forsooth they that have done evil things, into rising again of doom.]
30 I may nothing do of myself, but as I hear, I deem [I may not of myself do any thing, but as I hear, I judge], and my doom is just, for I seek not my will, but the will of the Father that sent me.
31 If I bear witnessing of myself, my witnessing is not true;
32 another is that beareth witnessing of me, and I know that his witnessing is true, that he beareth of me.
33 Ye sent to John, and he bare witnessing to [the] truth.
34 But I take not witnessing of man; but I say these things, that ye be safe.
35 He was a lantern burning and shining [He was a lantern burning and shining, or giving light]; but ye would glad, or joy, at an hour in his light.
36 But I have more witnessing than John, for the works that my Father gave to me to perform them [forsooth the works that my Father gave me that I perform them], those works that I do bear witnessing of me, that the Father sent me.
37 And the Father that sent me, he bare witnessing of me. Neither ye heard ever his voice, neither ye saw his likeness [neither saw his likeness, or form].
38 And ye have not his word dwelling in you; for ye believe not to him, whom he sent.
39 Seek ye the scriptures, in which ye guess [in which ye ween] to have everlasting life; and those it be, that bear witnessing of me.
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye have life.
41 I take not clearness of men;
42 but I have known you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 I came in the name of my Father, and ye took not me. If another [shall] come in his own name, ye shall receive him.
44 How be ye able to believe [How may ye believe], that receive glory each of (the) other, and ye seek not the glory that is of God alone?
45 Do not ye guess, that I am to accuse you with the Father; it is Moses that accuseth you, in whom ye hope.
46 For if ye believed to Moses, peradventure ye should believe also to me; for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not to his letters, how shall ye believe to my words?
