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?”

Foi et incrédulité
La guérison d’un paralysé à Jérusalem
5 Quelque temps plus tard, Jésus remonta à Jérusalem à l’occasion d’une fête juive. 2 Or, dans cette ville, près de la porte des Brebis, se trouvait une piscine[a] entourée de cinq galeries couvertes, appelée en hébreu Béthesda[b]. 3 Ces galeries étaient remplies de malades qui y restaient couchés : des aveugles, des paralysés, des impotents[c].
5 Il y avait là un homme malade depuis trente-huit ans.
6 Jésus le vit couché ; quand il sut qu’il était là depuis si longtemps, il lui demanda : Veux-tu être guéri ?
7 – Maître, répondit le malade, je n’ai personne pour me plonger dans la piscine quand l’eau commence à bouillonner. Le temps que je me traîne là-bas, un autre y arrive avant moi.
8 – Eh bien, lui dit Jésus, lève-toi, prends ta natte et marche !
9 A l’instant même l’homme fut guéri. Il prit sa natte et se mit à marcher.
Mais cela se passait un jour de sabbat. 10 Les Juifs interpellèrent donc l’homme qui venait d’être guéri : C’est le sabbat ! Tu n’as pas le droit de porter cette natte.
11 – Mais, répliqua-t-il, celui qui m’a guéri m’a dit : « Prends ta natte et marche. »
12 – Et qui t’a dit cela ? lui demandèrent-ils.
13 Mais l’homme qui avait été guéri ignorait qui c’était, car Jésus avait disparu dans la foule qui se pressait en cet endroit.
14 Peu de temps après, Jésus le rencontra dans la cour du Temple.
– Te voilà guéri, lui dit-il. Mais veille à ne plus pécher, pour qu’il ne t’arrive rien de pire.
15 Et l’homme alla annoncer aux Juifs que c’était Jésus qui l’avait guéri.
Le Père et le Fils
16 Les Juifs se mirent donc à accuser Jésus parce qu’il avait fait cela le jour du sabbat.
17 Jésus leur répondit : Mon Père est à l’œuvre jusqu’à présent, et moi aussi je suis à l’œuvre.
18 Cette remarque fut pour eux une raison de plus pour chercher à le faire mourir car, non content de violer la loi sur le sabbat, il appelait encore Dieu son propre Père et se faisait ainsi l’égal de Dieu. 19 Jésus répondit à ces reproches en leur disant : Vraiment, je vous l’assure : le Fils ne peut rien faire de sa propre initiative ; il agit seulement d’après ce qu’il voit faire au Père. Tout ce que fait le Père, le Fils le fait également, 20 car le Père aime le Fils et lui montre tout ce qu’il fait. Il lui montrera même des œuvres plus grandes que toutes celles que vous avez vues jusqu’à présent, et vous en serez stupéfaits. 21 En effet, comme le Père ressuscite les morts et donne la vie, ainsi le Fils, lui aussi, donne la vie à qui il veut. 22 De plus, ce n’est pas le Père qui prononce le jugement sur les hommes ; il a remis tout jugement au Fils, 23 afin que tous les hommes honorent le Fils au même titre que le Père. Ne pas honorer le Fils, c’est ne pas honorer le Père qui l’a envoyé.
24 Oui, vraiment, je vous l’assure : celui qui écoute ce que je dis et qui place sa confiance dans le Père qui m’a envoyé, possède, dès à présent, la vie éternelle et il ne sera pas condamné ; il est déjà passé de la mort à la vie. 25 Oui, vraiment, je vous l’assure : l’heure vient, et elle est déjà là, où les morts entendront la voix du Fils de Dieu, et tous ceux qui l’auront entendue vivront.
26 En effet, comme le Père possède la vie en lui-même, il a accordé au Fils d’avoir la vie en lui-même. 27 Et parce qu’il est le Fils de l’homme, il lui a donné autorité pour exercer le jugement.
28 Ne vous en étonnez pas : l’heure vient où tous ceux qui sont dans la tombe entendront la voix du Fils de l’homme. 29 Alors, ils en sortiront : ceux qui auront fait le bien ressusciteront pour la vie, ceux qui auront fait le mal ressusciteront pour être condamnés[d]. 30 Pour moi, je ne peux rien faire de mon propre chef ; je juge seulement comme le Père me l’indique. Et mon verdict est juste, car je ne cherche pas à réaliser mes propres désirs, mais à faire la volonté de celui qui m’a envoyé.
Les témoins du Fils
31 Bien sûr, si j’étais seul à témoigner en ma faveur, mon témoignage ne serait pas vrai.
32 Mais j’ai un autre témoin[e] et je sais que son témoignage est vrai. 33 Vous avez envoyé une commission d’enquête auprès de Jean et il a rendu témoignage à la vérité[f]. 34 Moi, je n’ai pas besoin d’un homme pour témoigner en ma faveur, mais je dis cela pour que vous, vous soyez sauvés. 35 Oui, Jean était vraiment comme un flambeau que l’on allume pour qu’il répande sa clarté. Mais vous, vous avez simplement voulu, pour un moment, vous réjouir à sa lumière.
36 Quant à moi, j’ai en ma faveur un témoignage qui a plus de poids que celui de Jean : c’est celui des œuvres que le Père m’a donné d’accomplir. Oui, ces œuvres que j’accomplis attestent clairement que le Père m’a envoyé. 37 De plus, le Père lui-même, qui m’a envoyé, a témoigné en ma faveur. Mais vous n’avez jamais entendu sa voix, ni vu sa face. 38 Sa parole n’habite pas en vous ; la preuve, c’est que vous ne croyez pas en celui qu’il a envoyé. 39 Vous étudiez avec soin les Ecritures, parce que vous êtes convaincus d’en obtenir la vie éternelle. Or, précisément, ce sont elles qui témoignent de moi. 40 Mais voilà : vous ne voulez pas venir à moi pour recevoir la vie.
41 Je ne cherche pas les honneurs de la part des hommes. 42 Seulement, je constate une chose : au fond de vous-mêmes, vous n’avez pas d’amour pour Dieu. 43 Je suis venu au nom de mon Père, et vous ne me recevez pas. Si un autre vient en son propre nom, vous le recevrez ! 44 D’ailleurs, comment pourriez-vous parvenir à la foi alors que vous cherchez à être honorés les uns par les autres et que vous ne recherchez pas la gloire qui vient de Dieu seul ?
45 N’allez surtout pas croire que je serai moi votre accusateur auprès de mon Père ; c’est Moïse qui vous accusera, oui, ce Moïse même en qui vous avez mis votre espérance.
46 En effet, si vous l’aviez réellement cru, vous m’auriez aussi cru, car il a parlé de moi dans ses livres. 47 Si vous ne croyez même pas à ses écrits, comment croirez-vous à mes paroles ?

New International Version
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)

Amplified Bible
The Healing at Bethesda
5 Later on there was a Jewish feast (festival), and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now in Jerusalem, near the Sheep Gate, there is a [a]pool, which is called in Hebrew (Jewish Aramaic) Bethesda, having five porticoes (alcoves, colonnades). 3 In these porticoes lay a great number of people who were sick, blind, lame, withered, [b][waiting for the stirring of the water; 4 for an angel of the Lord went down into the pool at appointed seasons and stirred up the water; the first one to go in after the water was stirred was healed of his disease.] 5 There was a certain man there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus noticed him lying there [helpless], knowing that he had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to get well?” 7 The invalid answered, “Sir, I have no one to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am coming [to get into it myself], someone else steps down ahead of me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Get up; pick up your pallet and walk.” 9 Immediately the man was healed and recovered his strength, and [c]picked up his pallet and walked.
Now that day was the Sabbath. 10 So the Jews kept saying to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and you are not [d]permitted to pick up your pallet [because it is unlawful].” 11 He answered them, “The Man who healed me and gave me back my strength was the One who said to me, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk.’” 12 They asked him, “Who is the Man who told you, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk’?” 13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away [unnoticed] since there was a crowd in that place. 14 Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. 16 For this reason the Jews began to persecute Jesus continually because He was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now [He has never ceased working], and I too am working.”
Jesus’ Equality with God
18 This made the Jews more determined than ever to kill Him, for not only was He breaking the Sabbath [from their viewpoint], but He was also calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
19 So Jesus answered them by saying, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, the Son [e]can do nothing of Himself [of His own accord], unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever things the Father does, the Son [in His turn] also does in the same way. 20 For the Father dearly loves the Son and shows Him everything that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will be filled with wonder. 21 Just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life [and allows them to live on], even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes. 22 For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment [that is, the prerogative of judging] to the Son [placing it entirely into His hands], 23 so that all will give honor (reverence, homage) to the Son just as they give honor to the Father. [In fact] the one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who has sent Him.
24 “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, the person who hears My word [the one who heeds My message], and believes and trusts in Him who sent Me, has (possesses now) eternal life [that is, eternal life actually begins—the believer is transformed], and does not come into judgment and condemnation, but has passed [over] from death into life.
Two Resurrections
25 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, a time is coming and is [here] now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will live. 26 For just as the Father has life in Himself [and is self-existent], even so He has given to the Son to have life in Himself [and be self-existent]. 27 And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is a Son of Man [sinless humanity, qualifying Him to sit in judgment over mankind].(A) 28 Do not be surprised at this; for a time is coming when all those who are in the tombs will hear His voice, 29 and they will come out—those who did good things [will come out] to a resurrection of [new] life, but those who did evil things [will come out] to a resurrection of judgment [that is, to be sentenced].(B)
30 “I can do nothing on my own initiative or authority. Just as I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just (fair, righteous, unbiased), because I do not seek My own will, but only the will of Him who sent Me.
31 “If I alone testify about Myself, My testimony is not [f]valid. 32 There is another [My Father] who testifies about Me, and I know [without any doubt] that His testimony on My behalf is true and valid.
Testimony of John
33 You have sent [an inquiry] to [g]John [the Baptist] and he has testified [as an eyewitness] to the truth. 34 But the testimony I receive is not from man [a merely human witness]; but I say these things so that you may be saved [that is, have eternal life]. 35 John was the lamp that kept on burning and shining [to show you the way], and you were willing for a while to rejoice in his light.(C)
Testimony of Works
36 But the testimony which I have is far greater than the testimony of John; for the works that the Father has given Me to finish—the very same works [that is, the miracles and proofs of My deity] that I am [now] doing—testify about Me, [by providing evidence] that the Father has sent Me.
Testimony of the Father
37 And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form [His majesty and greatness—what He is like]. 38 You do not have His word (Scripture) abiding in you [actually living in your hearts and minds], because you do not believe in Him whom He has sent.
Testimony of the Scripture
39 [h]You search and keep on searching and examining the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and yet it is those [very Scriptures] that testify about Me; 40 and still you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life. 41 I do not receive glory and approval from men; 42 but I know you and recognize that you do not have the love of God in yourselves. 43 I have come in My Father’s name and with His power, and you do not receive Me [because your minds are closed]; but if another comes in his own name and with no authority or power except his own, you will receive him and give your approval to an imposter. 44 How can you believe [in Me], when you [seek and] receive glory and approval from one another, and yet you do not seek the glory and approval which comes from the one and only God? 45 Do not think that I [am the One who] will accuse you before the Father. There [already] is one who accuses you: Moses, [the very one] in whom you have placed your hope [for salvation]. 46 For if you believed and relied on [the Scriptures written by] Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me [personally].(D) 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”
