Jesus heals in Jerusalem
5 1-6 Some time later came one of the Jewish feast-days and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. There is in Jerusalem near the sheep-gate a pool surrounded by five arches, which has the Hebrew name of Bethzatha (the Pool of Bethesda). Under these arches a great many sick people were in the habit of lying; some of them were blind, some lame, and some had withered limbs. (They used to wait there for the “moving of the water”, for at certain times an angel used to come down into the pool and disturb the water, and then the first person who stepped into the water after the disturbance would be healed of whatever he was suffering from.) One particular man had been there ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there on his back—knowing that he had been like that for a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to get well again?”
7 “Sir,” replied the sick man, “I just haven’t got anybody to put me into the pool when the water is all stirred up. While I’m trying to get there somebody else gets down into it first.”
8 “Get up,” said Jesus, “pick up your bed and walk!”
9 At once the man recovered, picked up his bed and walked.
10 This happened on a Sabbath day, which made the Jews keep on telling the man who had been healed, “It’s the Sabbath, you know; it’s not right for you to carry your bed.”
11 “The man who made me well,” he replied, “was the one who told me, ‘Pick up your bed and walk.’”
12 Then they asked him, “And who is the man who told you to do that?”
13-14 But the one who had been healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away in the dense crowd. Later Jesus found him in the Temple and said to him, “Look: you are a fit man now. Do not sin again or something worse might happen to you!”
15 Then the man went off and informed the Jews that the one who had made him well was Jesus.
16-17 It was because Jesus did such things on the Sabbath day that the Jews persecuted him. But Jesus’ answer to them was this, “My Father is still at work and therefore I work as well.”
18 This remark made the Jews all the more determined to kill him, because not only did he break the Sabbath but he referred to God as his own Father, so putting himself on equal terms with God.
Jesus makes his tremendous claim
19-29 Jesus said to them, “I assure you that the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. What the Son does is always modelled on what the Father does, for the Father loves the Son and shows him everything that he does himself, Yes, and he will show him even greater things than these to fill you with wonder. For just as the Father raises the dead and makes them live, so does the Son give life to any man he chooses. The Father is no man’s judge: he has put judgment entirely into the Son’s hands, so that all men may honour the Son equally with the Father. The man who does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who sent him. I solemnly assure you that the man who hears what I have to say and believes in the one who has sent me has eternal life. He does not have to face judgment; he has already passed from death into life. Yes, I assure you that a time is coming, in fact has already come, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and when they have heard it they will live! For just as the Father has life in himself, so by the Father’s gift, the Son also has life in himself. And he has given him authority to judge because he is Son of Man. No, do not be surprised—the time is coming when all those who are dead and buried will hear his voice and out they will come—those who have done right will rise again to life, but those who have done wrong will rise to face judgment!
30-37a “By myself I can do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is true because I do not live to please myself but to do the will of the Father who sent me. You may say that I am bearing witness about myself, that therefore what I say about myself has no value, but I would remind you that there is one who witnesses about me and I know that his witness about me is absolutely true. You sent to John, and he testified to the truth. Not that it is man’s testimony that I accept—I only tell you this to help you to be saved. John certainly was a lamp that burned and shone, and for a time you were willing to enjoy the light that he gave. But I have a higher testimony than John’s. The work that the Father gave me to complete, yes, these very actions which I do are my witness that the Father has sent me. This is how the Father who has sent me has given his own personal testimony to me.
37b-47 “Now you have never at any time heard what he says or seen what he is like. Nor do you really believe his word in your hearts, for you refuse to believe the man who he has sent. You pore over the scriptures for you imagine that you will find eternal life in them. And all the time they give their testimony to me! But you are not willing to come to me to have real life! Men’s approval or disapproval means nothing to me, but I can tell that you have none of the love of God in your hearts. I have come in the name of my Father and you will not accept me. Yet if another man comes simply in his own name, you will accept him. How on earth can you believe while you are for ever looking for each other’s approval and not for the glory that comes from the one God? There is no need for you to think that I have come to accuse you before the Father. You already have an accuser—Moses, in whom you put all your confidence! For if you really believed Moses, you would be bound to believe me; for is was about me that he wrote. But if you do not believe what he wrote, how can you believe what I say”?

5 Pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito'y nagkaroon ng pista ang mga Judio; at umahon si Jesus sa Jerusalem.
2 Sa Jerusalem nga'y may isang tangke sa tabi ng pintuan ng mga tupa, na sa wikang Hebreo ay tinatawag na Betesda, na may limang portiko.
3 Na sa mga ito ay nangaghandusay ang marami sa kanilang mga maysakit, mga bulag, mga pilay, mga natutuyo.
4 Sapagka't lumulusong ang isang anghel ng Panginoon sa mga tanging panahon sa tangke at kinakalawkaw ang tubig: at ang unang manaog sa tangke, pagkatapos na makalawkaw ang tubig ay gumagaling sa anomang sakit na dinaramdam.
5 At naroon ang isang lalake, na may tatlongpu't walong taon nang maysakit.
6 Nang makita ni Jesus na siya'y nakahandusay, at mapagkilalang siya'y malaon nang panahong maysakit, ay sinabi niya sa kaniya, Ibig mo bagang gumaling?
7 Sumagot sa kaniya ang lalaking maysakit, Ginoo, wala ng taong maglusong sa akin sa tangke, pagkalawkaw sa tubig: datapuwa't samantalang ako'y naparoroon, ay nakalusong na muna ang iba bago ako.
8 Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Magtindig ka, buhatin mo ang iyong higaan, at lumakad ka.
9 At pagdaka'y gumaling ang lalake, at binuhat ang kaniyang higaan at lumakad. Noon nga'y araw ng sabbath.
10 Kaya sinabi ng mga Judio sa kaniya na pinagaling, Ito'y araw ng sabbath, at hindi matuwid na buhatin mo ang iyong higaan.
11 Nguni't sila'y sinagot niya, Ang nagpagaling sa akin, ang siya ring sa akin ay nagsabi, Buhatin mo ang iyong higaan, at lumakad ka.
12 Tinanong nila siya, Sino ang taong sa iyo'y nagsabi, Buhatin mo ang iyong higaan, at lumakad ka?
13 Nguni't hindi nakikilala ng pinagaling kung sino siya; sapagka't si Jesus ay humiwalay, palibhasa'y may isang karamihan sa dakong yaon.
14 Pagkatapos ay nasumpungan siya ni Jesus sa templo, at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Narito, ikaw ay gumaling na: huwag ka nang magkasala, baka mangyari pa sa iyo ang lalong masama.
15 Umalis ang tao, at sinaysay sa mga Judio na si Jesus ang sa kaniya'y nagpagaling.
16 At dahil dito'y pinagusig ng mga Judio si Jesus, sapagka't ginagawa niya ang mga bagay na ito sa araw ng sabbath.
17 Datapuwa't sinagot sila ni Jesus, Hanggang ngayo'y gumagawa ang aking Ama, at ako'y gumagawa.
18 Dahil dito nga'y lalo nang pinagsikapan ng mga Judio na siya'y patayin, sapagka't hindi lamang sinira ang araw ng sabbath, kundi tinatawag din naman na kaniyang sariling Ama ang Dios, na siya'y nakikipantay sa Dios.
19 Sumagot nga si Jesus at sinabi sa kanila, Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Hindi makagagawa ang Anak ng anoman sa kaniyang sarili kundi ang makita niyang gawin ng Ama; sapagka't ang lahat ng mga bagay na kaniyang ginagawa, ay ang mga ito rin naman ang ginagawa ng Anak sa gayon ding paraan.
20 Sapagka't sinisinta ng Ama ang Anak, at sa kaniya'y ipinakikita ang lahat ng mga bagay na kaniyang ginagawa: at lalong dakilang mga gawa kay sa mga ito ang sa kaniya'y ipakikita niya, upang kayo'y magsipanggilalas.
21 Sapagka't kung paanong ibinabangon ng Ama ang mga patay at sila'y binubuhay, gayon din naman binubuhay ng Anak ang kaniyang mga ibigin.
22 Sapagka't ang Ama'y hindi humahatol sa kanino mang tao, kundi ipinagkaloob niya sa Anak ang buong paghatol;
23 Upang papurihan ng lahat ang Anak, na gaya rin ng kanilang pagpapapuri sa Ama. Ang hindi nagpapapuri sa Anak ay hindi nagpapapuri sa Ama na sa kaniya'y nagsugo.
24 Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Ang dumirinig ng aking salita, at sumasampalataya sa kaniya na nagsugo sa akin, ay may buhay na walang hanggan, at hindi mapapasok sa paghatol, kundi lumipat na sa kabuhayan mula sa kamatayan.
25 Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Dumarating ang panahon, at ngayon nga, na maririnig ng mga patay ang tinig ng Anak ng Dios; at ang mangakarinig ay mangabubuhay.
26 Sapagka't kung paanong ang Ama ay may buhay sa kaniyang sarili, ay gayon din namang pinagkalooban niya ang Anak na magkaroon ng buhay sa kaniyang sarili:
27 At binigyan niya siya ng kapamahalaang makahatol, sapagka't siya'y anak ng tao.
28 Huwag ninyong ipanggilalas ito: sapagka't dumarating ang oras, na ang lahat ng nangasa libingan ay makaririnig ng kaniyang tinig,
29 At magsisilabas; ang mga nagsigawa ng mabuti, ay sa pagkabuhay na maguli sa buhay; at ang mga nagsigawa ng masama, ay sa pagkabuhay na maguli sa paghatol.
30 Hindi ako makagagawa ng anoman sa aking sarili: humahatol ako ayon sa aking naririnig: at ang paghatol ko'y matuwid; sapagka't hindi ko pinaghahanap ang aking sariling kalooban, kundi ang kalooban niyaong nagsugo sa akin.
31 Kung ako'y nagpapatotoo sa aking sarili, ang patotoo ko ay hindi katotohanan.
32 Iba ang nagpapatotoo sa akin; at talastas ko na ang patotoong isinasaksi niya sa akin ay totoo.
33 Kayo'y nangagsugo kay Juan, at siya'y nagpatotoo sa katotohanan.
34 Datapuwa't ang patotoo ay hindi mula sa tao: gayon ma'y sinasabi ko ang mga bagay na ito, upang kayo'y mangaligtas.
35 Siya ang ilawang nagniningas at lumiliwanag; at inibig ninyong kayo'y mangagkatuwang sumandali sa kaniyang liwanag.
36 Datapuwa't ang aking pagpapatotoo ay lalong dakila kay sa kay Juan; sapagka't ang mga gawang ibinigay sa akin ng aking Ama upang ganapin, ang gayon ding mga gawa na aking ginagawa, ay nagpapatotoo tungkol sa akin, na ako'y sinugo ng Ama.
37 At ang Ama na nagsugo sa akin, ay siyang nagpatotoo tungkol sa akin. Kailan ma'y hindi ninyo narinig ang kaniyang tinig, ni hindi man ninyo nakita ang kaniyang anyo.
38 At kayo'y walang salita niya na nananatili sa inyo: sapagka't hindi kayo nagsisisampalataya sa kaniyang sinugo.
39 Saliksikin ninyo ang mga kasulatan, sapagka't iniisip ninyo na sa mga yaon ay mayroon kayong buhay na walang hanggan; at ang mga ito'y siyang nangagpapatotoo tungkol sa akin.
40 At ayaw kayong magsilapit sa akin, upang kayo'y magkaroon ng buhay.
41 Hindi ako tumatanggap ng kaluwalhatiang mula sa mga tao.
42 Datapuwa't nakikilala ko kayo, na kayo'y walang pagibig ng Dios sa inyong sarili.
43 Naparito ako sa pangalan ng aking Ama, at ayaw ninyo akong tanggapin: kung iba ang pumarito sa kaniyang sariling pangalan, ay siya ninyong tatanggapin.
44 Paanong kayo'y makapananampalataya, kayong nangagtatanggapan sa isa't isa ng kaluwalhatian at hindi ninyo pinaghahanap ang kaluwalhatiang nanggagaling sa tanging Dios?
45 Huwag ninyong isiping ako ang sa inyo'y magsusumbong sa Ama: may isang magsusumbong sa inyo, sa makatuwid baga'y si Moises, yaong pinaglagakan ninyo ng inyong pagasa.
46 Sapagka't kung kayo'y nagsisisampalataya kay Moises, ay magsisisampalataya kayo sa akin; sapagka't tungkol sa akin siya'y sumulat.
47 Nguni't kung hindi kayo nagsisipaniwala sa kaniyang mga sulat, ay paanong magsisisampalataya kayo sa aking mga salita?

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?”

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)
