After these things was a festival day of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Now there is at Jerusalem a pond, called Probatica, which in Hebrew is named Bethsaida, having five porches.

In these lay a great multitude of sick, of blind, of lame, of withered; waiting for the moving of the water.

And an angel of the Lord descended at certain times into the pond; and the water was moved. And he that went down first into the pond after the motion of the water, was made whole, of whatsoever infirmity he lay under.

And there was a certain man there, that had been eight and thirty years under his infirmity.

Him when Jesus had seen lying, and knew that he had been now a long time, he saith to him: Wilt thou be made whole?

The infirm man answered him: Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pond. For whilst I am coming, another goeth down before me.

Jesus saith to him: Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.

And immediately the man was made whole: and he took up his bed, and walked. And it was the sabbath that day.

10 The Jews therefore said to him that was healed: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.

11 He answered them: He that made me whole, he said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12 They asked him therefore: Who is that man who said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

13 But he who was healed, knew not who it was; for Jesus went aside from the multitude standing in the place.

14 Afterwards, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and saith to him: Behold thou art made whole: sin no more, lest some worse thing happen to thee.

15 The man went his way, and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole.

16 Therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.

17 But Jesus answered them: My Father worketh until now; and I work.

18 Hereupon therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he did not only break the sabbath, but also said God was his Father, making himself equal to God.

19 Then Jesus answered, and said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you, the Son cannot do any thing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doth, these the Son also doth in like manner.

20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which himself doth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that you may wonder.

21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth life: so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.

22 For neither doth the Father judge any man, but hath given all judgment to the Son.

23 That all men may honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father, who hath sent him.

24 Amen, amen I say unto you, that he who heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath life everlasting; and cometh not into judgment, but is passed from death to life.

25 Amen, amen I say unto you, that the hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live.

26 For as the Father hath life in himself, so he hath given the Son also to have life in himself:

27 And he hath given him power to do judgment, because he is the Son of man.

28 Wonder not at this; for the hour cometh, wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God.

29 And they that have done good things, shall come forth unto the resurrection of life; but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.

30 I cannot of myself do any thing. As I hear, so I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

33 You sent to John, and he gave testimony to the truth.

34 But I receive not testimony from man: but I say these things, that you may be saved.

35 He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.

36 But I have a greater testimony than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to perfect; the works themselves, which I do, give testimony of me, that the Father hath sent me.

37 And the Father himself who hath sent me, hath given testimony of me: neither have you heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

38 And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him you believe not.

39 Search the scriptures, for you think in them to have life everlasting; and the same are they that give testimony of me.

40 And you will not come to me that you may have life.

41 I receive glory not from men.

42 But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.

43 I am come in the name of my Father, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.

44 How can you believe, who receive glory one from another: and the glory which is from God alone, you do not seek?

45 Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one that accuseth you, Moses, in whom you trust.

46 For if you did believe Moses, you would perhaps believe me also; for he wrote of me.

47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?

After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

41 I receive not honour from men.

42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.

47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

생명은 안식일보다 더 귀함

그 후 유대인의 명절이 되어 예수님은 예루살렘으로 올라가셨다.

예루살렘 양문 곁에는 히브리 말로 베데스다라는 못이 있고 그 둘레에는 행각 다섯 채가 서 있었다.

이 행각에는 많은 환자, 소경, 절뚝발이, 손발이 마비된 사람들이 즐비하게 누워 [a](물이 움직이는 때를 기다리고 있었다.

그 못에는 가끔 천사가 내려와 물을 휘저어 놓곤 하는데 물을 휘저어 놓은 다음에 제일 먼저 들어가는 사람은 무슨 병이든지 다 나았다.)

그런데 거기에 38년 동안 앓고 있는 환자가 있었다.

예수님은 그가 누워 있는 것을 보시자 병이 벌써 오래 된 줄 아시고 그에게 “네가 낫고 싶으냐?” 하고 물으셨다.

그러자 그 환자는 “선생님, 물이 움직일 때 나를 못에 넣어 주는 사람이 없어 내가 가는 동안에 다른 사람이 먼저 들어갑니다” 하고 대답하였다.

그때 예수님이 “일어나 네 자리를 들고 걸어가거라” 하시자

그는 곧 병이 나아 자리를 거둬 들고 걸어갔다. 그런데 그 날은 안식일이었다.

10 그래서 유대인들은 병이 나은 그 사람에게 “안식일인데 당신이 자리를 들고 가는 것은 옳지 못한 일이오” 하였다.

11 그가 “나를 고쳐 주신 분이 자리를 들고 걸어가라고 하시던데요” 하자

12 “도대체 그런 말을 한 사람이 누구요?” 하고 그들이 물었다.

13 그러나 그 사람은 자기를 고쳐 주신 분이 누군지 알지 못하였다. 왜냐하면 그 곳에는 많은 사람이 있었고 예수님도 이미 자리를 뜨셨기 때문이었다.

14 그 후에 예수님은 성전에서 그 사람을 만나 “이제는 병이 깨끗이 나았으니 더 무서운 병에 걸리지 않도록 다시는 죄를 짓지 말아라” 하고 말씀하셨다.

15 그 사람이 유대인들에게 가서 자기를 낫게 하신 분이 예수님이라고 말하자

16 유대인들은 안식일에 이런 일을 한다고 예수님을 핍박하기 시작했다.

17 그러나 예수님은 그들에게 “내 아버지께서 지금까지 일하시므로 나도 일한다” 하고 말씀하셨다.

18 유대인들은 예수님이 안식일을 범할 뿐만 아니라 자신을 하나님과 똑같은 자리에 올려놓고 하나님을 친아버지라고 부른다는 이유로 더욱 예수님을 죽이려고 하였다.

19 그래서 예수님은 유대인들에게 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “내가 분명히 너희에게 말한다. 아들은 아버지가 하시는 일을 보지 않으면 혼자서는 아무것도 할 수 없다. 이것은 아버지께서 무엇을 하시든지 아들은 그대로 따라 하기 때문이다.

20 아버지께서는 아들을 사랑하셔서 자기가 하시는 모든 일을 아들에게 다 보여 주신다. 그렇다. 아버지는 이보다 더 큰 일도 아들에게 보여 주셔서 너희를 깜짝 놀라게 하실 것이다.

21 아버지께서 죽은 사람들을 일으켜 살리시는 것처럼 아들도 자기가 원하는 사람들을 살린다.

22 아버지께서는 아무도 심판하시지 않고 심판하는 일을 모두 아들에게 맡겨

23 모든 사람이 아버지를 공경하듯이 아들도 공경하도록 하셨다. 아들을 공경하지 않는 사람은 아들을 보내신 아버지도 공경하지 않는다.

24 내가 분명히 너희에게 말한다. 내 말을 듣고 나를 보내신 분을 믿는 사람은 영원한 생명을 얻었으므로 심판을 받지 않을 것이다. 그는 이미 죽음에서 생명으로 옮겨 간 것이다.

25 내가 분명히 말한다. 죽은 사람들이 하나님의 아들의 음성을 들을 때가 오는데 바로 이때이다. 듣는 사람은 살아날 것이다.

26 아버지께서는 자기 속에 생명을 가지신 것처럼 아들에게도 생명을 주어 그 속에 갖게 하셨다.

27 그리고 아버지는 아들이 [b]그리스도이기 때문에 그에게 심판하는 권세를 주셨다.

28 내가 하는 말에 놀라지 말아라. 죽은 사람들이 모두 아들의 음성을 듣고

29 무덤에서 나올 때가 온다. 선한 일을 한 사람은 부활하여 영원한 생명을 얻고 악한 일을 한 사람은 부활하여 심판을 받게 될 것이다.

30 “나는 아무것도 내 마음대로 할 수 없다. 나는 듣는 그대로 심판한다. 그래서 내 심판은 공정하다. 이것은 내가 원하는 대로 하려는 것이 아니라 나를 보내신 분이 원하는 대로 하려고 하기 때문이다.

31 내가 만일 내 자신에 대해서 증거한다면 그것은 참된 증거가 될 수 없다.

32 그러나 나를 증거해 주시는 분이 따로 계신다. 나는 그분의 증거가 참된 것으로 안다.

33 너희가 요한에게 사람을 보냈을 때 그는 [c]진리에 대하여 증거하였다.

34 하지만 나는 사람의 증거를 받지 않는다. 내가 이 말을 하는 것은 너희가 구원을 얻도록 하기 위해서이다.

35 요한은 타면서 빛을 내는 등불이었다. 그래서 너희는 그 빛 가운데서 잠시 기뻐하려고 하였다.

36 그러나 내게는 요한의 증거보다 더 큰 증거가 있다. 아버지께서 완성하라고 나에게 맡기신 일, 곧 지금 내가 하고 있는 바로 그 일이 아버지께서 나를 보내셨다는 것을 증거하고 있다.

37 그리고 나를 보내신 아버지께서도 직접 나를 증거하셨다. 너희는 그분의 음성을 들은 적도 없고 그분의 모습을 본 적도 없으며

38 또 그분의 말씀을 마음속에 간직하지도 못한다. 이것은 그분이 보내신 자를 너희가 믿지 않기 때문이다.

39 너희는 성경에서 영원한 생명을 얻는 줄로 생각하고 성경을 부지런히 연구하고 있는데 바로 이 성경이 나를 증거하고 있다.

40 그런데도 너희는 나에게 와서 영원한 생명을 얻으려고 하지 않는구나.

41 “나는 사람에게서 영광을 받지 않는다.

42 그러나 나는 너희에게 하나님을 사랑하는 마음이 없다는 것을 잘 알고 있다.

43 내가 내 아버지의 이름으로 왔어도 너희는 나를 맞아들이지 않았다. 그러나 만일 다른 사람이 자기 이름으로 오면 너희가 그를 기꺼이 맞아들일 것이다.

44 너희가 사람에게서는 서로 [d]칭찬을 받으려고 하면서도 한 분밖에 계시지 않는 하나님에게는 칭찬을 받으려고 하지 않으니 어떻게 나를 믿을 수 있겠느냐?

45 내가 너희를 아버지께 고소할 것이라고 생각하지 말아라. 오히려 너희를 고소할 사람은 너희가 희망을 걸고 있는 모세이다.

46 너희가 정말 모세를 믿었다면 나도 믿었을 것이다. 이것은 모세가 나에 관해서 기록했기 때문이다.

47 그러나 너희가 모세의 글도 믿지 않으면서 어떻게 내 말을 믿겠느냐?”

The Healing at the Pool

Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. 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. Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. [4] [b] One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 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?”

“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.”

Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.”(C) 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)
