John 5

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 paralysed.[b]
5 One man was there who had been disabled for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and realised 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 any more, 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)
Honouring 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 judgement to the Son, 23 so that all people may honour the Son just as they honour the Father.(U) Anyone who does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who sent him.(V)
Life and Judgement
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 judgement 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 judgement,(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 judgement(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)

Orthodox Jewish Bible
5 After these things, there was a Chag (Feast) in Yehudah and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went up to Yerushalayim.
2 Now there is in Yerushalayim at the Sha’ar HaTzon (Sheepgate) [NECHEMYAH 3:1,32; 12:39] a pool, the one being called in Aramaic, Beit-Zata, having chamasha colonnades.
3 In these lay a multitude of invalids‖ivrim (blind men), pisechim (lame persons), paralyzed.
4 [For a malach Hashem from time to time descended into the berekhah (pool) and agitated the mayim; therefore, he who entered first after the agitation of the mayim, became whole, whatever choli (disease, sickness) he was held by.]
5 And there was a certain man there SHELOSHIM U’SHEMONEH SHANAH [DEVARIM 2:14] having been in his machla (illness).
6 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, seeing this man lying there, and having da’as that the man had been in this condition for a long time already, says to him, Do you want to have refu’ah [YESHAYAH 53:5]?
7 In reply, the choleh (sick one) said, Adoni, I have no one, when the mayim is disturbed, to put me into the pool. While I am coming, someone steps into the pool ahead of me.
8 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Rise up, take your mat and walk.
9 And immediately the man received his refu’ah (healing) and took his mat and was walking around. And that day was Shabbos.
10 So those of Yehudah were saying to the one having been granted refu’ah (healing), It is Shabbos, so it is asur (prohibited), it is chillul Shabbos [desecration of Shabbat] for you to carry your mat. [NECHEMYAH 13:15 22; YIRMEYAH 17:21]
11 But the man in reply said to them, The one having given me refu’ah, that one said to me, Take up your mat and walk!
12 They asked him, Who is haIsh (the man) telling you to take up your mat and walk?
13 But the one having been granted refu’ah (healing) did not have da’as who it is, for Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach slipped away, there being a multitude in the place.
14 After these things Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach finds him in the Beis Hamikdash, and said to him, Hinei, you have received your refu’ah. No longer commit averos, for fear that something worse happen to you.
15 The man went away and reported to the Yehudim that Yehoshua is the one having granted him his refu’ah,
16 And, because of this, those of Yehudah brought redifah (persecution) upon Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, because these things he was doing on Shabbos.
17 But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach in reply, said to them, Avi until now is working and I am working. [BERESHIS 2:3]
18 Because of this, therefore, those of Yehudah were seeking all the more to kill Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, because not only was he not Shomer Shabbos, but also Rebbe was saying that his own Av was Hashem, thereby making himself equal with Elohim [Yochanan 1:1].
19 In reply, therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was saying to them, Omein, omein, I say to you, HaBen is not able to do anything from himself except what he sees HaAv doing, for what things that One is doing, these things also HaBen likewise is doing.
20 For HaAv has ahavah for HaBen and all things He shows to him which He does and ma’asim gedolim (greater works) than these He will show him that you may marvel.
21 For just as HaAv raises the Mesim (dead ones) and makes them alive, so also HaBen makes alive whom he wills. [DEVARIM 32:39; SHMUEL ALEF 2:6; MELACHIM BAIS 5:7; HOSHEA 6:2; RUTH 4:5]
22 For not even HaAv judges anyone, but all Mishpat Hashem has given to HaBen [BERESHIS 18:25; SHOFETIM 11:27; DANIEL 7:10,13-14]
23 That kol Bnei Adam may honor HaBen as they honor HaAv. The one not honoring HaBen does not honor HaAv who sent him [Dan 7:13-14].
24 Omein, omein, I say to you, that the one, hearing my dvar and having emunah in the One who sent me, has Chayyei Olam and does not come into the Mishpat Hashem, but has been transferred out of mavet (death) into Chayyim (Life).
25 Omein, omein, I say to you, that a sha’ah (hour) is coming and now is, when the Mesim (dead ones) will hear the kol (voice) of the Ben HaElohim and the ones having heard will live.
26 For just as HaAv has Chayyim (Life) in himself [DEVARIM 30:20; IYOV 10:12; 33:4; TEHILLIM 36:10 (9)], so also HaBen He gave to have Chayyim (Life) in himself.
27 And samchut (authority) He gave to him to make mishpat (judgment) because he is the Ben HaAdam [DANIEL 7:13-14].
28 Do not marvel at this. For a sha’ah (hour, time) is coming in which all the ones in the kevarim (graves) will hear the kol of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, [YESHAYAH 26:19; YECHEZKEL 37:12]
29 And will come out, the ones having practiced HaTov to a Techiyas HaMesim of Chayyim (Life), the ones having practiced HaRah to a Techiyas HaMesim of Mishpat (Judgment). [DANIEL 12:2]
30 I am not able to do from myself anything. As I hear I judge, and mine is mishpat tzedek [YESHAYAH 28:6], because I do not seek my own ratzon (will) but the ratzon (will) of the One having sent me. [BAMIDBAR 16:28]
31 If I give solemn edut (testimony) about myself, the edut of mine is not ne’emanah (reliable).
32 There is Another giving solemn edut about me, however, and I have da’as that the edut He testifies about me is ne’emanah (reliable).
33 You (pl.) have sent to Yochanan and he has given solemn edut (testimony) to HaEmes (the Truth).
34 Not that I accept edut from Bnei Adam, but I say these things that you may come to Yeshu’at Eloheinu.
35 He [Yochanan] was a menorah burning and shining and you chose to exult for a time in his Ohr (Light); [TEHILLIM 132:16; DANIEL 12:3]
36 but l have edut (testimony) greater than Yochanan’s. For the ma’asim (works) which HaAv has given to me that I should accomplish, these ma’asim which I do give solemn edut (testimony) about me, that HaAv has sent me.
37 And HaAv who sent me has Himself given solemn edut (testimony) about me. You have neither heard His kol (voice) nor the mareh of Hashem have you seen [DEVARIM 4:12],
38 and the dvar Hashem you do not have abiding and dwelling in you, because you have no bitachon (trust), no emunah (faith) in the one whom Hashem has sent. [YESHAYAH 26:10; 53:1; YIRMEYAH 8:8]
39 You search the Kitvei Hakodesh because you think in them you have Chayyei Olam. And those are the ones giving solemn edut about me.
40 And you do not want to come to me that you may have Chayyim.
41 I do not accept kavod (glory) from Bnei Adam.
42 But I have had da’as of you, that the ahavas Hashem (the love of G-d) you do not have in yourselves.
43 I have come b’Shem Avi and you do not accept me. If another comes in his own name, him you will accept.
44 How are you able to have emunah, when you receive kavod from one another, and the kavod from the only Elohim HaEchad you do not seek? [MELACHIM BAIS 19:15,19; YESHAYAH 37:20; DANIEL 3:45 TARGUM HASHIVIM]
45 Do not think that I will accuse you before HaAv; however, there is one accusing you: Moshe, in whom you have set your tikvah. [Dt 31:26-27]
46 For if you were having emunah in Moshe, you would have had emunah in me, for he himself wrote concerning me. [BERESHIS 3:15; 45:4-9; DEVARIM 18:15]
47 But if in the Kitvei Hakodesh of that one you lack emunah, how will you have emunah in my dvar?
約翰福音 5
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
醫好三十八年之病者
5 這事以後，到了猶太人的一個節期，耶穌就上耶路撒冷去。
2 在耶路撒冷，靠近羊門有一個池子，希伯來話叫做畢士大，旁邊有五個廊子， 3 裡面躺著瞎眼的、瘸腿的、血氣枯乾的許多病人[a]。 5 在那裡有一個人，病了三十八年。 6 耶穌看見他躺著，知道他病了許久，就問他說：「你要痊癒嗎？」 7 病人回答說：「先生，水動的時候，沒有人把我放在池子裡，我正去的時候，就有別人比我先下去。」 8 耶穌對他說：「起來，拿你的褥子走吧！」 9 那人立刻痊癒，就拿起褥子來走了。
猶太人責耶穌犯安息日
10 那天是安息日，所以猶太人對那醫好的人說：「今天是安息日，你拿褥子是不可的！」 11 他卻回答說：「那使我痊癒的對我說『拿你的褥子走吧』。」 12 他們問他說：「對你說『拿褥子走』的是什麼人？」 13 那醫好的人不知道是誰，因為那裡的人多，耶穌已經躲開了。 14 後來耶穌在殿裡遇見他，對他說：「你已經痊癒了，不要再犯罪，恐怕你遭遇的更加厲害。」 15 那人就去告訴猶太人，使他痊癒的是耶穌。 16 所以猶太人逼迫耶穌，因為他在安息日做了這事。 17 耶穌就對他們說：「我父做事直到如今，我也做事。」 18 所以猶太人越發想要殺他，因他不但犯了安息日，並且稱神為他的父，將自己和神當做平等。
尊敬子如尊敬父
19 耶穌對他們說：「我實實在在地告訴你們：子憑著自己不能做什麼，唯有看見父所做的，子才能做；父所做的事，子也照樣做。 20 父愛子，將自己所做的一切事指給他看，還要將比這更大的事指給他看，叫你們稀奇。 21 父怎樣叫死人起來，使他們活著，子也照樣隨自己的意思使人活著。 22 父不審判什麼人，乃將審判的事全交於子， 23 叫人都尊敬子如同尊敬父一樣。不尊敬子的，就是不尊敬差子來的父。 24 我實實在在地告訴你們：那聽我話又信差我來者的，就有永生，不至於定罪，是已經出死入生了。 25 我實實在在地告訴你們：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 因為父怎樣在自己有生命，就賜給他兒子也照樣在自己有生命， 27 並且因為他是人子，就賜給他行審判的權柄。 28 你們不要把這事看做稀奇。時候要到，凡在墳墓裡的，都要聽見他的聲音，就出來， 29 行善的復活得生，作惡的復活定罪。
30 「我憑著自己不能做什麼，我怎麼聽見就怎麼審判。我的審判也是公平的，因為我不求自己的意思，只求那差我來者的意思。 31 我若為自己作見證，我的見證就不真。 32 另有一位給我作見證，我也知道他給我作的見證是真的。 33 你們曾差人到約翰那裡，他為真理作過見證。 34 其實我所受的見證不是從人來的，然而我說這些話，為要叫你們得救。 35 約翰是點著的明燈，你們情願暫時喜歡他的光。 36 但我有比約翰更大的見證，因為父交給我要我成就的事，就是我所做的事，這便見證我是父所差來的。 37 差我來的父也為我作過見證。你們從來沒有聽見他的聲音，也沒有看見他的形象。 38 你們並沒有他的道存在心裡，因為他所差來的，你們不信。
聖經為耶穌的證據
39 「你們查考聖經[b]，因你們以為內中有永生。給我作見證的就是這經， 40 然而你們不肯到我這裡來得生命。 41 我不受從人來的榮耀。 42 但我知道，你們心裡沒有神的愛。 43 我奉我父的名來，你們並不接待我；若有別人奉自己的名來，你們倒要接待他。 44 你們互相受榮耀，卻不求從獨一之神來的榮耀，怎能信我呢？
不信摩西怎能信主
45 「不要想我在父面前要告你們，有一位告你們的，就是你們所仰賴的摩西。 46 你們如果信摩西，也必信我，因為他書上有指著我寫的話。 47 你們若不信他的書，怎能信我的話呢？」
