The Third Sign: Healing the Sick
5 After this, a Jewish festival took place, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.(A) 2 By the Sheep Gate(B) in Jerusalem there is a pool, called Bethesda[a] in Aramaic, which has five colonnades. 3 Within these lay a large number of the disabled—blind, lame, and paralyzed.[b]
5 One man was there who had been disabled for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and realized he had already been there a long time,(C) he said to him, “Do you want to get well?”
7 “Sir,”(D) the disabled man answered, “I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, someone goes down ahead of me.”
8 “Get up,” Jesus told him, “pick up your mat and walk.” 9 Instantly the man got well, picked up his mat, and started to walk.
Now that day was the Sabbath,(E) 10 and so the Jews(F) said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath.(G) The law prohibits you from picking up your mat.”
11 He replied, “The man who made me well(H) told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”
12 “Who is this man who told you, ‘Pick up your mat and walk’?” they asked. 13 But the man who was healed did not know who it was,(I) because Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.[c]
14 After this, Jesus found him in the temple(J) and said to him, “See, you are well. Do not sin anymore, so that something worse doesn’t happen to you.” 15 The man went and reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.(K) 16 Therefore, the Jews began persecuting(L) Jesus[d] because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.(M)
Honoring the Father and the Son
17 Jesus responded to them, “My Father(N) is still working, and I am working also.” 18 This is why the Jews began trying all the more to kill him:(O) Not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal to God.
19 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, the Son is not able to do anything on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father[e] does, the Son likewise does these things.(P) 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing, and he will show him greater works(Q) than these so that you will be amazed. 21 And just as the Father raises(R) the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom he wants.(S) 22 The Father,(T) in fact, judges no one but has given all judgment to the Son, 23 so that all people may honor the Son just as they honor the Father.(U) Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.(V)
Life and Judgment
24 “Truly I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life(W) and will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life.
25 “Truly I tell you, an hour is coming, and is now here,(X) when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.(Y) 26 For just as the Father has life in himself, so also he has granted to the Son(Z) to have life in himself. 27 And he has granted him the right to pass judgment,(AA) because he is the Son of Man.(AB) 28 Do not be amazed at this, because a time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done good things, to the resurrection of life, but those who have done wicked things, to the resurrection of condemnation.
30 “I can do nothing on my own. I judge only as I hear, and my judgment(AC) is just,(AD) because I do not seek my own will, but the will of him who sent me.(AE)
Witnesses to Jesus
31 “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony he gives about me is true.(AF) 33 You sent messengers to John, and he testified to the truth.(AG) 34 I don’t receive human testimony, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 35 John[f](AH) was a burning and shining lamp,(AI) and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.(AJ)
36 “But I have a greater testimony than John’s because of the works that the Father has given me to accomplish.(AK) These very works I am doing testify about me that the Father has sent(AL) me. 37 The Father who sent me has himself testified(AM) about me. You have not heard his voice at any time, and you haven’t seen his form.(AN) 38 You don’t have his word residing in you, because you don’t believe the one he sent. 39 You pore over the Scriptures(AO) because you think you have eternal life in them, and yet they testify about me.(AP) 40 But you are not willing(AQ) to come to me(AR) so that you may have life.
41 “I do not accept glory(AS) from people, 42 but I know you—that you have no love for God(AT) within you. 43 I have come in my Father’s name,(AU) and yet you don’t accept me.(AV) 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 don’t seek the glory that comes from the only(AW) God?(AX) 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. Your accuser is Moses,(AY) on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me. 47 But if you don’t believe what he wrote,(AZ) how will you believe my words?”(BA)

Johannes 5
Det Norsk Bibelselskap 1930
5 Derefter var det en av jødenes høitider, og Jesus drog op til Jerusalem.
2 Men det er ved Fåreporten i Jerusalem en dam som på hebraisk heter Betesda og har fem bueganger;
3 i dem lå en mengde syke: blinde, halte, visne.
4 For en engel steg til visse tider ned i dammen og oprørte vannet. Den som da først steg ned efterat vannet var blitt oprørt, han blev helbredet, hvad sykdom han så led av.
5 Nu var der en mann som hadde vært syk i åtte og tretti år;
6 da Jesus så ham ligge der, og visste at han allerede hadde vært syk i lang tid, sa han til ham: Vil du bli frisk?
7 Den syke svarte ham: Herre! jeg har ingen til å kaste mig ned i dammen når vannet blir oprørt; og i det samme jeg kommer, stiger en annen ned før mig.
8 Jesus sier til ham: Stå op, ta din seng og gå!
9 Og straks blev mannen frisk og han tok sin seng og gikk. Men det var sabbat den dag.
10 Jødene sa da til ham som var blitt helbredet: Det er sabbat, og det er dig ikke tillatt å bære sengen.
11 Han svarte dem: Han som gjorde mig frisk, han sa til mig: Ta din seng og gå!
12 De spurte ham: Hvem er det menneske som sa til dig: Ta den og gå?
13 Men han som var blitt helbredet, visste ikke hvem det var; for Jesus hadde trukket sig tilbake, da det var meget folk på stedet.
14 Siden traff Jesus ham i templet og sa til ham: Se, du er blitt frisk; synd ikke mere, forat ikke noget verre skal vederfares dig!
15 Mannen gikk bort, og fortalte jødene at det var Jesus som hadde gjort ham frisk.
16 Og derfor forfulgte jødene Jesus, fordi han gjorde dette på en sabbat.
17 Men Jesus svarte dem: Min Fader arbeider inntil nu; også jeg arbeider.
18 Derfor stod da jødene ham enn mere efter livet, fordi han ikke bare brøt sabbaten, men også kalte Gud sin Fader og gjorde sig selv Gud lik.
19 Jesus svarte da og sa til dem: Sannelig, sannelig sier jeg eder: Sønnen kan ikke gjøre noget av sig selv, men bare det han ser Faderen gjør; for det han gjør, det gjør Sønnen likeså;
20 for Faderen elsker Sønnen, og viser ham alt det han selv gjør; og han skal vise ham større gjerninger enn disse, forat I skal undre eder.
21 For likesom Faderen opvekker de døde og gjør levende, således gjør også Sønnen levende hvem han vil.
22 For Faderen dømmer heller ikke nogen, men har gitt Sønnen hele dommen,
23 forat alle skal ære Sønnen, likesom de ærer Faderen. Den som ikke ærer Sønnen, ærer ikke Faderen, som har sendt ham.
24 Sannelig, sannelig sier jeg eder: Den som hører mitt ord og tror ham som har sendt mig, han har evig liv og kommer ikke til dom, men er gått over fra døden til livet.
25 Sannelig, sannelig sier jeg eder: Den time kommer, og er nu, da de døde skal høre Guds Sønns røst, og de som hører, skal leve.
26 For likesom Faderen har liv i sig selv, således har han også gitt Sønnen å ha liv i sig selv,
27 og han har gitt ham makt til å holde dom, fordi han er en menneskesønn.
28 Undre eder ikke over dette! For den time kommer da alle de som er i gravene, skal høre hans røst,
29 og de skal gå ut, de som har gjort godt, til livets opstandelse, de som har gjort ondt, til dommens opstandelse.
30 Jeg kan ikke gjøre noget av mig selv; som jeg hører, så dømmer jeg, og min dom er rettferdig; for jeg søker ikke min vilje, men hans vilje som har sendt mig.
31 Vidner jeg om mig selv, da er mitt vidnesbyrd ikke sant;
32 det er en annen som vidner om mig, og jeg vet at det vidnesbyrd han vidner om mig, er sant.
33 I har sendt bud til Johannes, og han har vidnet for sannheten;
34 jeg tar ikke imot vidnesbyrd av et menneske, men jeg sier dette forat I skal bli frelst.
35 Han var det brennende og skinnende lys, men I vilde bare en tid fryde eder i hans lys.
36 Men jeg har det vidnesbyrd som er større enn det Johannes har vidnet; for de gjerninger som Faderen har gitt mig å fullbyrde, selve disse gjerninger som jeg gjør, de vidner om mig at Faderen har utsendt mig.
37 Og Faderen, som har sendt mig, han har vidnet om mig; hverken har I nogensinne hørt hans røst eller sett hans skikkelse,
38 og hans ord har I ikke blivende i eder; for den han har sendt, ham tror I ikke.
39 I ransaker skriftene, fordi I tenker at i dem har I evig liv, og det er de som vidner om mig;
40 og I vil ikke komme til mig for å få liv.
41 Jeg tar ikke ære av mennesker;
42 men jeg kjenner eder og vet at I ikke har kjærligheten til Gud i eder.
43 Jeg er kommet i min Faders navn, og I tar ikke imot mig; kommer en annen i sitt eget navn, ham tar I imot.
44 Hvorledes kan I tro, I som tar ære av hverandre, og den ære som er av den eneste Gud, den søker I ikke?
45 I må ikke tenke at jeg vil anklage eder hos Faderen; det er en som anklager eder, Moses, han som I har satt eders håp til.
46 For hadde I trodd Moses, da hadde I trodd mig; for det er om mig han har skrevet;
47 men tror I ikke hans skrifter, hvorledes kan I da tro mine ord?

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)
