5 After this, there was a Judean festival; and Yeshua went up to Yerushalayim. 2 In Yerushalayim, by the Sheep Gate, is a pool called in Aramaic, Beit-Zata, 3 in which lay a crowd of invalids — blind, lame, crippled. 4 [a] 5 One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. 6 Yeshua, seeing this man and knowing that he had been there a long time, said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 7 The sick man answered, “I have no one to put me in the pool when the water is disturbed; and while I’m trying to get there, someone goes in ahead of me.” 8 Yeshua said to him, “Get up, pick up your mat and walk!” 9 Immediately the man was healed, and he picked up his mat and walked.
Now that day was Shabbat, 10 so the Judeans said to the man who had been healed, “It’s Shabbat! It’s against Torah for you to carry your mat!” 11 But he answered them, “The man who healed me — he’s the one who told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’” 12 They asked him, “Who is the man who told you to pick it up and walk?” 13 But the man who had been healed didn’t know who it was, because Yeshua had slipped away into the crowd.
14 Afterwards Yeshua found him in the Temple court and said to him, “See, you are well! Now stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you!” 15 The man went off and told the Judeans it was Yeshua who had healed him; 16 and on account of this, the Judeans began harassing Yeshua because he did these things on Shabbat.
17 But he answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I too am working.” 18 This answer made the Judeans all the more intent on killing him — not only was he breaking Shabbat; but also, by saying that God was his own Father, he was claiming equality with God. 19 Therefore, Yeshua said this to them: “Yes, indeed! I tell you that the Son cannot do anything on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does, the Son does too. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he does; and he will show him even greater things than these, so that you will be amazed. 21 Just as the Father raises the dead and makes them alive, so too the Son makes alive anyone he wants. 22 The Father does not judge anyone but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23 so that all may honor the Son as they honor the Father. Whoever fails to honor the Son is not honoring the Father who sent him. 24 Yes, indeed! I tell you that whoever hears what I am saying and trusts the One who sent me has eternal life — that is, he will not come up for judgment but has already crossed over from death to life! 25 Yes, indeed! I tell you that there is coming a time — in fact, it’s already here — when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who listen will come to life. 26 For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has given the Son life to have in himself. 27 Also he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Don’t be surprised at this; because the time is coming when all who are in the grave will hear his voice 29 and come out — those who have done good to a resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to a resurrection of judgment. 30 I can’t do a thing on my own. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is right; because I don’t seek my own desire, but the desire of the one who sent me.
31 “If I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is not valid. 32 But there is someone else testifying on my behalf, and I know that the testimony he is making is valid — 33 you have sent to Yochanan, and he has testified to the truth. 34 Not that I collect human testimony; rather, I say these things so that you might be saved. 35 He was a lamp burning and shining, and for a little while you were willing to bask in his light.
36 “But I have a testimony that is greater than Yochanan’s. For the things the Father has given me to do, the very things I am doing now, testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me.
37 “In addition, the Father who sent me has himself testified on my behalf. But you have never heard his voice or seen his shape; 38 moreover, his word does not stay in you, because you don’t trust the one he sent. 39 You keep examining the Tanakh because you think that in it you have eternal life. Those very Scriptures bear witness to me, 40 but you won’t come to me in order to have life!
41 “I don’t collect praise from men, 42 but I do know you people — I know that you have no love for God in you! 43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you don’t accept me; if someone else comes in his own name, him you will accept. 44 How can you trust? You’re busy collecting praise from each other, instead of seeking praise from God only.
45 “But don’t think that it is I who will be your accuser before the Father. Do you know who will accuse you? Moshe, the very one you have counted on! 46 For if you really believed Moshe, you would believe me; because it was about me that he wrote. 47 But if you don’t believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?”

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)

The Healing at the Pool on the Sabbath
5 After this there was a (A)feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem by (B)the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic[a] called Bethesda,[b] which has five roofed colonnades. 3 In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and (C)paralyzed.[c] 5 One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, (D)“Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” 9 (E)And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked.
(F)Now that day was the Sabbath. 10 So the Jews[d] said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and (G)it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.” 11 But he answered them, “The man who healed me, that man said to me, ‘Take up your bed, and walk.’” 12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?” 13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for (H)Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! (I)Sin no more, (J)that nothing worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. 16 And this was why the Jews (K)were persecuting Jesus, (L)because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”
Jesus Is Equal with God
18 This was why the Jews (M)were seeking all the more to kill him, (N)because not only was he (O)breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God (P)his own Father, (Q)making himself equal with God.
The Authority of the Son
19 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, (R)the Son (S)can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father[e] does, that the Son does likewise. 20 For (T)the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And (U)greater works than these will he show him, so that (V)you may marvel. 21 For as the Father (W)raises the dead and (X)gives them life, so (Y)also the Son gives life (Z)to whom he will. 22 (AA)For the Father judges no one, but (AB)has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they (AC)honor the Father. (AD)Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, (AE)whoever hears my word and (AF)believes him who sent me has eternal life. He (AG)does not come into judgment, but (AH)has passed from death to life.
25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, (AI)an hour is coming, and is now here, when (AJ)the dead will hear (AK)the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear (AL)will live. 26 (AM)For as the Father has life in himself, (AN)so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he (AO)has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this, for (AP)an hour is coming when (AQ)all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, (AR)those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
Witnesses to Jesus
30 (AS)“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and (AT)my judgment is just, because (AU)I seek not my own will (AV)but the will of him who sent me. 31 (AW)If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is (AX)another who bears witness about me, and (AY)I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true. 33 (AZ)You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Not that (BA)the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 35 He was a burning and (BB)shining lamp, and (BC)you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But (BD)the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For (BE)the works that the Father has given me (BF)to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, (BG)bear witness about me that (BH)the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me (BI)has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, (BJ)his form you have never seen, 38 and (BK)you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. 39 (BL)You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and (BM)it is they that bear witness about me, 40 yet (BN)you refuse to come to me that you may have life. 41 (BO)I do not receive glory from people. 42 But (BP)I know that you do not have (BQ)the love of God within you. 43 I have come (BR)in my Father's name, and (BS)you do not receive me. (BT)If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and (BU)do not seek the glory that comes from (BV)the only God? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, (BW)on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for (BX)he wrote of me. 47 But (BY)if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Juan 5
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Isang Lalaki sa Betesda
5 Pagkatapos nito, pumunta si Jesus sa Jerusalem upang dumalo sa isang pista ng mga Judio. 2 Sa isang pintuan ng lungsod ng Jerusalem, kung saan idinadaan ang mga tupa ay may paliguan na ang tawag sa wikang Hebreo ay Betesda.[a] Sa paligid nito ay may limang silungan, 3 kung saan nakahiga ang maraming may sakit – mga bulag, pilay at mga paralitiko. [4 Hinihintay nilang gumalaw ang tubig, dahil paminsan-minsan, may isang anghel ng Dios na bumababa at kinakalawkaw ang tubig. Ang unang makalusong sa tubig pagkatapos makalawkaw ng anghel ay gumagaling, kahit ano pa ang kanyang sakit.][b] 5 May isang lalaki roon na 38 taon nang may sakit. 6 Nakita ni Jesus ang lalaki na nakahiga roon at nalaman niyang matagal na itong may sakit. Kaya tinanong siya ni Jesus, “Gusto mo bang gumaling?” 7 Sumagot ang may sakit, “Gusto ko po sana, pero walang tumutulong sa aking lumusong sa tubig kapag kinakalawkaw na ito. Sa tuwing papunta pa lang ako, nauunahan na ako ng iba.” 8 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Tumayo ka, buhatin mo ang higaan mo at lumakad!” 9 Agad na gumaling ang lalaki. Binuhat niya ang higaan niya at lumakad.
Nangyari ito sa Araw ng Pamamahinga. 10 Kaya sinabi ng mga pinuno ng mga Judio sa taong pinagaling, “Hindi baʼt Araw ng Pamamahinga ngayon? Labag sa Kautusan ang pagbubuhat mo ng higaan!” 11 Pero sumagot siya, “Ang taong nagpagaling sa akin ang nag-utos na buhatin ko ito at lumakad.” 12 Tinanong nila siya, “Sino ang nag-utos sa iyong buhatin ang higaan mo at lumakad?” 13 Pero hindi nakilala ng lalaki kung sino ang nagpagaling sa kanya, dahil nawala na si Jesus sa dami ng tao.
14 Hindi nagtagal, nakita ni Jesus sa templo ang taong pinagaling niya, at sinabihan, “O, magaling ka na ngayon. Huwag ka nang magkasala pa, at baka mas masama pa ang mangyari sa iyo.” 15 Umalis ang lalaki at pumunta sa mga pinuno ng mga Judio. Sinabi niya sa kanila na si Jesus ang nagpagaling sa kanya. 16 Kaya mula noon, sinimulang usigin ng mga pinuno ng mga Judio si Jesus, dahil nagpagaling siya sa Araw ng Pamamahinga.
17 Pero sinabihan sila ni Jesus, “Patuloy na gumagawa ang aking Ama, kaya patuloy din ako sa paggawa.” 18 Dahil sa sinabing ito ni Jesus, lalong sinikap ng mga pinuno ng mga Judio na patayin siya. Sapagkat hindi lang niya nilabag ang batas tungkol sa Araw ng Pamamahinga, kundi tinawag pa niyang sariling Ama ang Dios, at sa gayoʼy ipinapantay ang sarili sa Dios.
Ang Kapangyarihan ng Anak ng Dios
19 Kaya sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, ako na Anak ng Dios ay walang magagawa kung sa sarili ko lang, kundi ginagawa ko lang ang nakikita ko na ginagawa ng aking Ama. Kaya kung ano ang ginagawa ng Ama ay siya ring ginagawa ko bilang Anak. 20 Minamahal ng Ama ang Anak, kaya ipinapakita niya sa Anak ang lahat ng ginagawa niya. At higit pa sa mga bagay na ito ang mga gawaing ipapakita niya sa akin na gagawin ko para mamangha kayo. 21 Kung paanong ibinabangon ng Ama ang mga patay at binibigyang-buhay ang mga ito, ganoon din naman, binibigyang-buhay ng Anak ang sinumang gusto niyang bigyan nito. 22 Hindi ang Ama ang hahatol sa mga tao kundi ako na kanyang Anak, dahil ibinigay niya sa akin ang lahat ng kapangyarihang humatol, 23 upang parangalan ng lahat ang Anak tulad ng pagpaparangal nila sa Ama. Kaya, ang hindi nagpaparangal sa Anak ay hindi rin nagpaparangal sa Ama na nagsugo sa kanya.
24 “Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, ang sumusunod sa aking mga salita at sumasampalataya sa nagsugo sa akin ay may buhay na walang hanggan. Hindi na siya hahatulan sapagkat inilipat na nga siya sa buhay mula sa kamatayan. 25 Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, darating ang panahon, at dumating na nga, na maririnig ng mga patay ang salita[c] ng Anak ng Dios, at ang makinig sa kanya ay mabubuhay. 26 May kapangyarihan ang Ama na magbigay ng buhay. Ganoon din naman, may kapangyarihan ako na kanyang Anak na magbigay ng buhay, dahil binigyan niya ako ng kapangyarihang ito. 27 Ibinigay din niya sa akin ang kapangyarihang humatol dahil ako ang Anak ng Tao. 28 Huwag kayong magtaka tungkol dito, dahil darating ang panahon na maririnig ng lahat ng patay ang aking salita, 29 at babangon sila mula sa kanilang libingan. Ang mga gumawa ng mabuti ay bibigyan ng buhay na walang hanggan, at ang mga gumawa ng masama ay parurusahan.”
Ang mga Nagpapatotoo kay Jesus
30 Sinabi pa ni Jesus, “Wala akong magagawa kung sa sarili ko lang. Humahatol nga ako, ngunit ang aking paghatol ay ayon lamang sa sinasabi ng aking Ama. Kaya makatarungan ang hatol ko dahil hindi ang sarili kong kalooban ang aking sinusunod kundi ang kalooban ng nagsugo sa akin. 31 Ngayon, kung ako lang ang nagpapatotoo tungkol sa aking sarili, magduda kayo sa sinasabi ko. 32 Ngunit may isang nagpapatotoo tungkol sa akin, at alam kong totoo ang kanyang sinasabi. 33 Maging si Juan na tagapagbautismo ay nagpatotoo tungkol sa akin, at sinabi niya sa inyo ang katotohanan nang magsugo kayo ng ilang tao upang tanungin siya. 34 Binanggit ko ang tungkol kay Juan, hindi dahil sa kailangan ko ang patotoo ng isang tao, kundi upang sumampalataya kayo sa akin at maligtas. 35 Si Juan ay tulad ng isang ilaw na nagliliwanag, at lubos kayong nasiyahan sa liwanag niya sa inyo kahit saglit lang. 36 Ngunit may nagpapatotoo pa tungkol sa akin na higit pa kay Juan. Itoʼy walang iba kundi ang mga ipinapagawa sa akin ng Ama. Ito ang nagpapatunay na ang Ama ang nagsugo sa akin. 37 At ang Amang nagsugo sa akin ay nagpapatotoo rin tungkol sa akin. Kailanman ay hindi nʼyo narinig ang tinig niya o nakita ang anyo niya. 38 At hindi nʼyo tinanggap ang kanyang salita dahil hindi kayo sumasampalataya sa akin na kanyang sugo. 39 Sinasaliksik nʼyo ang Kasulatan sa pag-aakala na sa pamamagitan nitoʼy magkakaroon kayo ng buhay na walang hanggan. Ang Kasulatan mismo ang nagpapatotoo tungkol sa akin, 40 pero ayaw ninyong lumapit sa akin upang magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan.
41 “Hindi ko hinahangad ang papuri ng mga tao. 42 Kilala ko talaga kayo at alam kong wala sa mga puso ninyo ang pagmamahal sa Dios. 43 Naparito ako sa pangalan[d] ng aking Ama, ngunit ayaw ninyo akong tanggapin. Pero kung may dumating sa sarili niyang pangalan ay tinatanggap ninyo siya. 44 Paano kayo sasampalataya sa akin kung ang papuri lang ng kapwa ang hangad ninyo, at hindi ang papuri ng nag-iisang Dios? 45 Huwag ninyong isipin na ako ang mag-aakusa sa inyo sa harap ng Ama. Si Moises na inaasahan ninyo ang siyang mag-aakusa sa inyo. 46 Dahil kung totoong naniniwala kayo kay Moises, maniniwala rin kayo sa akin, dahil si Moises mismo ay sumulat tungkol sa akin. 47 Ngunit kung hindi kayo naniniwala sa mga isinulat niya, paano kayo maniniwala sa mga sinasabi ko?”
