治好病了三十八年的人

这些事以后,到了犹太人的一个节期,耶稣就上耶路撒冷去。 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。 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。”) 那里有一个人,病了三十八年。 耶稣看见他躺着,知道他病了很久,就问他:“你要痊愈吗?” 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。” 耶稣对他说:“起来,拿着你的褥子走吧。” 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?”

Jesus Heals a Man at a Pool

·Later [L After these things] Jesus went [L up] to Jerusalem for a ·special feast [L feast/festival of the Jews]. In Jerusalem there is a pool with five covered porches, which is called Bethesda[a] [C a pool of water north of the temple thought to have curative powers] in the Hebrew language [C referring to Aramaic, the native language of the Jews at the time]. This pool is near the Sheep Gate. Many sick people were lying on the porches beside the pool. Some were blind, some were crippled, and some were paralyzed |, and they waited for the water to move. ·Sometimes [At a certain time; From time to time] an angel of the Lord came down to the pool and stirred up the water. After the angel did this, the first person to go into the pool was healed from any sickness he had|[b]. A man was lying there who had been ·sick [an invalid; disabled] for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw the man and knew that he had been ·sick [an invalid; disabled] for such a long time, Jesus asked him, “Do you want to be well?”

The ·sick man [invalid] answered [him], “Sir, there is no one to help me get into the pool when the water ·starts moving [is stirred up]. While I am coming to the water, someone else always ·gets in [goes down] before me.”

Then Jesus said to him, “·Stand up [T Rise]. Pick up your ·mat [bed; cot] and walk.” And immediately the man ·was well [was healed; became whole]; he picked up his ·mat [bed; cot] and began to walk.

The day this happened was a Sabbath day. 10 So the ·Jews [or Jewish leaders] said to the man who had been healed, “Today is the Sabbath. It is ·against our law [L not lawful/permitted] for you to carry your ·mat [bed; cot] on the Sabbath day [C the fourth commandment prohibited work on the Sabbath, but not specifically this action (Ex. 20:8–11)].”

11 But he answered them, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your ·mat [bed; cot] and walk.’”

12 Then they asked him, “Who is the man who told you to pick up your ·mat [bed; cot] and walk?”

13 But the man who had been healed did not know who it was, because there were many people in that place, and Jesus had ·left [withdrawn; slipped away unnoticed].

14 Later, Jesus found the man at the Temple [area] and said to him, “See, you are well now. ·Stop sinning [T Sin no more] so that something worse does not happen to you.” [C Sometimes, not always, suffering can be explained by sin.]

15 Then the man left and told ·his people [the Jewish leaders; L the Jews] that Jesus was the one who had made him well.

16 Because Jesus was doing ·this [L these things] on the Sabbath day, ·some evil people [the Jewish leaders; L the Jews] began to ·persecute [harass] him. 17 But Jesus ·said to [L answered] them, “My Father ·never stops [is always; is still] working [C even on the Sabbath], and so I keep working, too.”

18 This made ·them [the Jewish leaders; L the Jews] try still harder to kill him. They said, “First Jesus was breaking the law about the Sabbath day. Now he says that God is his own Father, making himself equal with God!” [C Both breaking the Sabbath and blasphemy against God were punishable by death; Ex. 35:2; Lev. 24:16.]

Jesus Has God’s Authority

19 But Jesus ·said [answered them], “·I tell you the truth [L Truly, truly I say to you], the Son can do nothing ·alone [on his own initiative; by himself]. The Son does only what he sees the Father doing, ·because the Son does whatever the Father does [L for whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise]. 20 [L For] The Father loves the Son and shows the Son all the things he himself does. But the Father will show the Son even greater things than this so that you can all ·be amazed [marvel; be astonished]. 21 [L For] Just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to those he ·wants to [wishes; wills]. 22 ·In fact, [or For] the Father judges no one, but he has ·given [entrusted to] the Son ·power to do all the judging [L all judgment; Rev. 20:11–15] 23 so that all people will honor the Son as much as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

24 “·I tell you the truth [L Truly, truly I say to you], whoever ·hears [obeys] ·what I say [L my word/message] and believes in the One who sent me has eternal life. That person will not ·be judged guilty [L come into judgment/condemnation] but has ·already left death and entered life [L passed from death into life]. 25 ·I tell you the truth [L Truly, truly I say to you], the ·time [L hour] is coming and is already here when the dead will ·hear [obey] the voice of the Son of God, and those who ·hear [obey] will ·have life [live]. 26 [L For] ·Life comes from the Father himself [just as the Father has life], ·and [so] he has ·allowed the Son to have [given the Son] life in himself as well. 27 And the Father has given the Son the ·approval [authority; power; right] to ·judge [execute judgment], because he is the Son of Man [C a title for the Messiah; Dan. 7:13–14]. 28 Don’t ·be surprised [marvel; be amazed] at this: A ·time [L hour] is coming when all who are dead and in their graves will hear his voice. 29 Then they will come out of their graves. Those who did good ·will rise and have life forever [L to the resurrection resulting in life], but those who did evil ·will rise to be judged guilty [L to the resurrection resulting in condemnation/judgment].

Jesus Is God’s Son

30 “I can do nothing ·alone [by myself; on my own initiative]. I judge ·only the way I am told [L as I hear], so my judgment is ·fair [just; right; righteous]. I don’t ·try to please myself [L seek my own will/desire], but ·I try to please [L the will of] the One who sent me.

31 “If only I ·tell people [testify; witness] about myself, ·what I say [my testimony; witness] is not ·true [valid]. 32 But there is another who ·tells [testifies; witnesses] about me, and I know that ·the things he says [L the witness/testimony he witnesses/testifies] about me are ·true [valid].

33 “You have sent people to John, and he has ·told you [testified/witnessed to] the truth. 34 It is not that I ·need [accept; depend on] ·what humans say [human testimony/witness]; I tell you this so you can be saved. 35 John was like a burning and shining lamp, and you were ·happy to enjoy [L willing to rejoice in] his light for a while.

36 “But I have a ·proof [testimony; witness] about myself that is ·greater [weightier] than that of John. [L For] The ·things [L works] I do, which are the ·things [L works] my Father gave me to ·do [complete; finish; C the signs and miracles which point to his saving work on the cross], ·prove [testify; witness] that the Father sent me. 37 And the Father himself who sent me has given ·proof [testimony; witness] ·about me [concerning me; on my behalf]. You have never heard his voice or seen ·what he looks like [his form; his outward appearance]. 38 His ·teaching [word; message] does not ·live [remain; abide] in you, because you don’t believe in the One the Father sent. 39 You ·carefully study [search; examine] the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. They do in fact ·tell [testify; witness] ·about me [concerning me; on my behalf], 40 but you ·refuse [do not want] to come to me to have that life.

41 “I don’t ·need [or accept; receive] ·praise [glory; honor] from people. 42 But I know you—I know that you don’t have God’s love in you. 43 I have come ·from my Father and speak for him [L in my Father’s name], ·but [or and] you don’t ·accept [receive] me. But when another person comes, ·speaking only for himself [L in his own name], you will ·accept [receive] him. 44 You try to ·get praise [receive glory/honor] from each other, but you do not try to ·get the praise [receive glory/honor] that comes from the only God. So how can you believe? 45 Don’t think that I will ·stand before the Father and say you are wrong [L accuse you before the Father]. The one who ·says you are wrong [L accuses you] is Moses, the one ·you hoped would save you [L in whom you hoped]. 46 [L For] If you really believed Moses, you would believe me, because Moses wrote about me [C in the Torah, the first five books of the OT; for example, Deut. 18:15 quoted in Acts 3:22]. 47 But if you don’t believe what Moses wrote, how can you believe what I say?”

治好病了三十八年的人

這些事以後,到了猶太人的一個節期,耶穌就上耶路撒冷去。 在耶路撒冷靠近羊門有一個水池,希伯來話叫作畢士大,池邊有五條走廊。 在那裡躺著許多病人,有瞎眼的、瘸腿的和癱瘓的。(有些抄本有以下一段:“他們等候水動,4因為有主的使者按時下去攪動池水,水動之後,誰先下去,無論甚麼病,必得痊愈。”) 那裡有一個人,病了三十八年。 耶穌看見他躺著,知道他病了很久,就問他:“你要痊愈嗎?” 病人回答:“先生,水動的時候,沒有人把我放在池裡;自己想去的時候,總是給別人搶先。” 耶穌對他說:“起來,拿著你的褥子走吧。” 那人立刻痊愈,就拿起褥子走了。

那天正是安息日。 10 因此猶太人對那醫好了的人說:“今天是安息日,你拿著褥子是不可以的。” 11 他卻回答:“那使我痊愈的對我說:‘拿起你的褥子走吧’。” 12 他們就問:“那對你說‘拿起來走吧’的是誰?” 13 那醫好了的人不知道他是誰,因為那裡人很多,耶穌已經避開了。 14 後來,耶穌在殿裡遇見那人,對他說:“你已經痊愈了,不可再犯罪,免得招來更大的禍患。” 15 那人就去告訴猶太人,使他痊愈的就是耶穌。 16 從此猶太人就迫害耶穌,因為他常常在安息日作這些事。 17 耶穌卻對他們說:“我父作工直到現在,我也作工。” 18 因此猶太人就更想殺耶穌,因為他不但破壞安息日,而且稱 神為自己的父,把自己與 神當作平等。

人子的權柄

19 耶穌又對他們說:“我實實在在告訴你們,子靠著自己不能作甚麼,只能作他看見父所作的;因為父所作的事,子也照樣作。 20 父愛子,把自己所作的一切指示給他看,還要把比這些更大的事指示給他看,使你們驚奇。 21 父怎樣叫死人復活,使他們得生命,子也照樣隨自己的意思使人得生命。 22 父不審判人,卻已經把審判的權柄完全交給子, 23 使所有的人尊敬子好像尊敬父一樣。不尊敬子的,就是不尊敬那差他來的父。 24 我實實在在告訴你們,那聽見我的話又信那差我來的,就有永生,不被定罪,而是已經出死入生了。 25 我實實在在告訴你們,時候將到,現在就是了,死人要聽見 神兒子的聲音,聽見的人就要活了。 26 就如父是生命的源頭,照樣他也使子成為生命的源頭, 27 並且把執行審判的權柄賜給他,因為他是人子。 28 你們不要把這事看作希奇,因為時候將到,那時所有在墳墓裡的都要聽見他的聲音, 29 並且都要出來;行善的復活得生命,作惡的復活被定罪。

給耶穌作見證的

30 “我靠著自己不能作甚麼,我怎樣聽見,就怎樣審判。我的審判是公義的,因為我不尋求自己的意思,只求那差我來者的旨意。 31 我若為自己作證,我的見證就不真。 32 然而另有一位為我作證的,我知道他為我作的見證是真的。 33 你們曾經派人到約翰那裡,他為真理作過見證。 34 我不接受從人而來的見證,但我說這些事,是要你們得救。 35 約翰是一盞點亮的燈,你們情願暫時在他的光中歡樂。 36 但我有比約翰更大的見證,因為父賜給我要我完成的工作,就是我所要作的,證明我是父所差來的。 37 差我來的父親自為我作了見證。他的聲音,你們從沒有聽過;他的容貌,你們從沒有見過; 38 他的道,你們也不放在心裡,因為你們不信他所差來的那一位。 39 你們研究聖經,因為你們認為聖經中有永生,其實為我作證的就是這聖經, 40 然而你們卻不肯到我這裡來得生命。

41 “我不接受從人而來的稱讚; 42 我知道你們心裡沒有 神的愛。 43 我奉我父的名而來,你們不接待我;如果有別人以自己的名義而來,你們倒接待他。 44 你們彼此接受稱讚,卻不尋求從獨一的 神而來的稱讚,怎麼能信呢? 45 不要以為我要向父控告你們,有一位控告你們的,就是你們所仰賴的摩西。 46 你們若信摩西,也必信我,因為他所寫的書曾論及我。 47 你們若不信他所寫的,怎能信我的話呢?”
