约翰福音 5
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
治好病了三十八年的人
5 这些事以后,到了犹太人的一个节期,耶稣就上耶路撒冷去。 2 在耶路撒冷靠近羊门有一个水池,希伯来话叫作毕士大,池边有五条走廊。 3 在那里躺着许多病人,有瞎眼的、瘸腿的和瘫痪的。(有些抄本有以下一段:“他们等候水动,4因为有主的使者按时下去搅动池水,水动之后,谁先下去,无论甚么病,必得痊愈。”) 5 那里有一个人,病了三十八年。 6 耶稣看见他躺着,知道他病了很久,就问他:“你要痊愈吗?” 7 病人回答:“先生,水动的时候,没有人把我放在池里;自己想去的时候,总是给别人抢先。” 8 耶稣对他说:“起来,拿着你的褥子走吧。” 9 那人立刻痊愈,就拿起褥子走了。
那天正是安息日。 10 因此犹太人对那医好了的人说:“今天是安息日,你拿着褥子是不可以的。” 11 他却回答:“那使我痊愈的对我说:‘拿起你的褥子走吧’。” 12 他们就问:“那对你说‘拿起来走吧’的是谁?” 13 那医好了的人不知道他是谁,因为那里人很多,耶稣已经避开了。 14 后来,耶稣在殿里遇见那人,对他说:“你已经痊愈了,不可再犯罪,免得招来更大的祸患。” 15 那人就去告诉犹太人,使他痊愈的就是耶稣。 16 从此犹太人就迫害耶稣,因为他常常在安息日作这些事。 17 耶稣却对他们说:“我父作工直到现在,我也作工。” 18 因此犹太人就更想杀耶稣,因为他不但破坏安息日,而且称 神为自己的父,把自己与 神当作平等。
人子的权柄
19 耶稣又对他们说:“我实实在在告诉你们,子靠着自己不能作甚么,只能作他看见父所作的;因为父所作的事,子也照样作。 20 父爱子,把自己所作的一切指示给他看,还要把比这些更大的事指示给他看,使你们惊奇。 21 父怎样叫死人复活,使他们得生命,子也照样随自己的意思使人得生命。 22 父不审判人,却已经把审判的权柄完全交给子, 23 使所有的人尊敬子好象尊敬父一样。不尊敬子的,就是不尊敬那差他来的父。 24 我实实在在告诉你们,那听见我的话又信那差我来的,就有永生,不被定罪,而是已经出死入生了。 25 我实实在在告诉你们,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 就如父是生命的源头,照样他也使子成为生命的源头, 27 并且把执行审判的权柄赐给他,因为他是人子。 28 你们不要把这事看作希奇,因为时候将到,那时所有在坟墓里的都要听见他的声音, 29 并且都要出来;行善的复活得生命,作恶的复活被定罪。
给耶稣作见证的
30 “我靠着自己不能作甚么,我怎样听见,就怎样审判。我的审判是公义的,因为我不寻求自己的意思,只求那差我来者的旨意。 31 我若为自己作证,我的见证就不真。 32 然而另有一位为我作证的,我知道他为我作的见证是真的。 33 你们曾经派人到约翰那里,他为真理作过见证。 34 我不接受从人而来的见证,但我说这些事,是要你们得救。 35 约翰是一盏点亮的灯,你们情愿暂时在他的光中欢乐。 36 但我有比约翰更大的见证,因为父赐给我要我完成的工作,就是我所要作的,证明我是父所差来的。 37 差我来的父亲自为我作了见证。他的声音,你们从没有听过;他的容貌,你们从没有见过; 38 他的道,你们也不放在心里,因为你们不信他所差来的那一位。 39 你们研究圣经,因为你们认为圣经中有永生,其实为我作证的就是这圣经, 40 然而你们却不肯到我这里来得生命。
41 “我不接受从人而来的称赞; 42 我知道你们心里没有 神的爱。 43 我奉我父的名而来,你们不接待我;如果有别人以自己的名义而来,你们倒接待他。 44 你们彼此接受称赞,却不寻求从独一的 神而来的称赞,怎么能信呢? 45 不要以为我要向父控告你们,有一位控告你们的,就是你们所仰赖的摩西。 46 你们若信摩西,也必信我,因为他所写的书曾论及我。 47 你们若不信他所写的,怎能信我的话呢?”

Flere mirakler i Jerusalem
5 Senere tog Jesus igen til Jerusalem for at deltage i en af jødernes højtider. 2 Inde i byen, i nærheden af Fåreporten, var der en dam, som var omgivet af fem søjlegange. Den hed Betesda på hebraisk. 3 Dér lå der en mængde syge, blinde, lamme og forkrøblede mennesker. De lå og ventede på, at vandet skulle komme i bevægelse.[a] 4 En Herrens engel kom nemlig nu og da ned og satte vandet i bevægelse, og den, som derefter først steg ned i det, blev helbredt, lige meget hvad han fejlede. 5 En af dem, der lå ved dammen, havde været lam i 38 år. 6 Da Jesus så ham og var klar over, at han havde været syg længe, spurgte han: „Vil du være rask?” 7 Den syge mand svarede: „Mester, jeg har ingen til at hjælpe mig ned i dammen, når vandet kommer i bevægelse. Når jeg prøver at slæbe mig derhen, er der altid en anden, der kommer først.” 8 Jesus sagde til ham: „Rejs dig op, rul din sovemåtte sammen og gå på dine ben!” 9 Straks blev manden helbredt. Han rullede måtten sammen og begyndte at gå omkring.
Den første konfrontation med de jødiske ledere
Men da det var sabbat den dag, 10 irettesatte de jødiske ledere manden, der var blevet rask. „Du må ikke bære din sovemåtte! Det er jo sabbat.” 11 „Jamen, den mand, der helbredte mig, sagde, at jeg skulle tage min måtte og gå!”
12 „Hvem var det, der sagde det?” spurgte de.
13 Det vidste manden ikke, og Jesus var forsvundet i folkemængden.
14 Senere fandt Jesus ham på tempelpladsen. „Nu er du rask,” sagde han, „lev ikke mere i synd, så du ikke bliver ramt af noget endnu værre.”
15 Så gik manden hen til de jødiske ledere og fortalte dem, at det var Jesus, der havde helbredt ham. 16 Derfor anklagede de Jesus for at overtræde loven ved at arbejde på hviledagen. 17 Men Jesus svarede: „Min Far arbejder i dag, så det gør jeg også.”
18 Den udtalelse gjorde de jødiske ledere endnu mere opsatte på at slå ham ihjel, fordi han ikke blot overtrådte sabbatslovene, men også kaldte Gud for sin Far og dermed gjorde sig til ét med Gud.
Sønnens fuldmagt til at give evigt liv eller dømme de onde
19 Jesus fortsatte: „Det siger jeg jer: Sønnen kan intet gøre af sig selv. Han gør kun det, han ser sin Far gøre. Hvad Faderen gør, det gør Sønnen også. 20 For Faderen elsker Sønnen og viser ham alt, hvad han selv gør. Og han vil vise ham endnu større undere end den mands helbredelse, og I vil komme til at undre jer. 21 Ligesom Faderen opvækker mennesker fra de døde og giver dem nyt liv, sådan giver også Sønnen nyt liv til hvem, han vil. 22 Faderen vil ikke selv dømme nogen, men han har overgivet al domsafsigelse til Sønnen, 23 for at alle skal ære Sønnen, ligesom de ærer Faderen. Hvis de ikke ærer Sønnen, som Faderen har sendt, ærer de heller ikke Faderen.
24 Det siger jeg jer: De, der tager imod mit budskab og tror på Gud, som sendte mig, de har det evige liv og bliver ikke stillet for domstolen. De er allerede blevet overflyttet fra døden til livet.
25 Det siger jeg jer: Den tid kommer—ja, den er her allerede—da de døde skal høre Guds Søns røst og leve. 26 Faderen bærer kilden til livet i sig, og han har givet mig den samme magt til at give liv. 27 Faderen har også givet mig magt til at dømme, fordi jeg er Menneskesønnen.[b]
28-29 I skal ikke undre jer over, at de døde engang skal høre Guds Søns røst og stå op fra deres grave. De, der har gjort det gode, vil få det evige liv, mens de, der har gjort det onde, vil få deres dom.
30 Jeg kan ikke gøre noget af mig selv, men jeg lytter til min Far, og på det grundlag dømmer jeg. Derfor er min dom retfærdig. Det er jo ikke min egen vilje, jeg vil fremme, men hans vilje, som sendte mig.
Forskellige vidneudsagn om Jesus som Guds Søn
31 Hvis jeg anbefaler mig selv, er min anbefaling ikke gyldig. 32-33 Men nu er der en anden, som har fortalt jer om mig, og det er Johannes. I har selv forhørt jer hos ham, og jeg kan forsikre jer for, at det, han har sagt om mig, er sandt. 34 Jeg er ikke afhængig af menneskers vidneudsagn, men jeg har sagt det her i håb om, at I vil tro på, hvad jeg siger, og få del i det evige liv. 35 Johannes var for en tid som lyset fra en lampe, og I var glade for at høre, hvad han havde at sige, 36 men jeg henviser til et vidnesbyrd, der er større end hans, nemlig de undere, jeg har gjort. Det er min Far, der giver mig magt til at udføre dem, og de viser, at Faderen har sendt mig.
37 Også Faderen selv har vidnet om mig, men I har aldrig set eller hørt ham. 38 Og fordi I nægter at tro på den, han har sendt, har hans ord ikke slået rod i jer.
39 Skriften fortæller også om mig. I studerer Skriften, fordi I tror, at I finder det evige liv dér. Og selv om Skriften fortæller om mig, 40 er I alligevel ikke villige til at komme til mig for at få livet.
41 Jeg er ikke ude efter menneskers anerkendelse. 42 Jeg ved, hvordan I er, og at I ikke har kærligheden til Gud i jer. 43 Jeg er kommet, fordi min Far har sendt mig, men I vil ikke høre efter, hvad jeg siger. Men folk, der ikke er sendt af ham, og som kun anbefaler sig selv, dem lytter I gerne til. 44 I søger efter anerkendelse fra hinanden, men den anerkendelse, som kommer fra den eneste sande Gud, den er I ikke interesseret i. Hvordan skulle I da kunne tro på mig?
45 I skal ikke tro, det er mig, der vil anklage jer over for Faderen. Nej, det bliver Moses, ham som I har sat jeres lid til. 46 Hvis I virkelig troede Moses, ville I også tro på mig, for det er om mig, han har skrevet. 47 Men hvis I ikke tror på hans skrifter, hvordan skulle I så kunne tro på mig?”
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?
John 5
New King James Version
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?”
