John 5
Jubilee Bible 2000
5 ¶ After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now in Jerusalem there is a pool by the sheep gate, which in Hebrew is called, Bethesda, having five porches.
3 In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and troubled the water; whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatever disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he said unto him, Dost thou desire to be made whole?
7 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 steps down before me.
8 Jesus said unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 And immediately the man was made whole and took up his bed and walked, and on that 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 they asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up thy bed and walk?
13 And he that was healed did not know who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
14 Afterward Jesus found 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 who had made him whole.
16 And for this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him: because he had done these things on a sabbath.
17 ¶ But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now, and I work.
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Then Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself but what he sees the Father do; for all that he does, this also the Son does together with him.
20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all the things that he does, and he will show him greater works than these that ye may marvel.
21 For as the Father raises up the dead and gives them life; even so the Son gives life unto whom he will.
22 For the Father judges no man but has committed all judgment unto the Son
23 that everyone should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who has sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word and believes him that sent me has eternal life and shall not come into judgment but has passed from death unto life.
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour shall come, 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 has life in himself, so has he given to the Son to have life in himself
27 and has also given him power and authority to execute judgment because he is the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this, for an hour shall come when all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 and those that have done good shall come forth unto the resurrection of life; but those that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.
30 I can of my own self do nothing; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who has sent me.
31 ¶ If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 There is another that bears witness of me, and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true.
33 Ye sent unto John, and he bore witness unto the truth.
34 But I receive not testimony from man, but I say these things that ye might be saved.
35 He was a burning and a shining light, and ye were willing to rejoice for one hour in his light.
36 But I have greater testimony than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me that the Father has sent me.
37 And the Father himself, who has sent me, has borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his appearance.
38 And ye do not have his word abiding in you; for whom he has sent, him ye do not believe.
39 Search the scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life; and they are those who testify of me.
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41 I do not receive glory from men.
42 But I know you that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 I have 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, who take glory one from another, and seek not the glory that comes only from God?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuses 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 do not believe his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
約 翰 福 音 5
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
耶稣治愈池边的病人
5 之后，是犹太人的一个节期，耶稣到耶路撒冷去了， 2 在耶路撒冷羊门附近有一个池子，希伯来语称之为“毕士大 [a]”。它有五列柱廊， 3 在它的下边，躺着大群的病人，瞎子、跛子或瘫痪的人， [b] 4 [c] 5 其中有个人病了三十八年。 6 耶稣看到他躺在那里，知道他病了很久了。耶稣对他说∶“你想痊愈吗？”
7 病人回答说∶“先生，水动的时候，没人帮我进池子。当我试着自己进的时候，总有人抢在我之前先下去。”
8 耶稣对他说∶“站起来，收拾起铺盖走吧。” 9 那人立刻康复了，他拿起铺盖，抬脚走了。
那天是安息日， 10 所以，犹太人对痊愈的病人说∶“今天是安息日，你扛着铺盖是触犯律法的。”
11 他对他们说∶“为我治好病的人说∶‘收拾起铺盖走吧。’”
12 他们问∶“对你说∶‘收拾起铺盖走吧。’的人是谁？”
13 那人不知道给他治病的人是谁，因为耶稣已经消失在聚集在那里的人群中了。
14 后来，耶稣在大殿院里见到那个人，对他说∶“看，你现在好了，不要再犯罪了，否则你的遭遇会更惨。”
15 那人离开后，告诉犹太人给他治好病的人就是耶稣。 16 因此，犹太人开始迫害耶稣，因为他在安息日做这些事。
17 耶稣对他们说∶“我父总是在工作，所以我也必须工作。”
因此，犹太人更是千方百计地要杀害他， 18 因为他不仅破坏了安息日的规矩，而且还把上帝称为自己的父亲，和上帝平起平坐。
耶稣有上帝的权威
19 耶稣是这样回答他们的∶“我实话告诉你们，子仅凭自己是无能为力的，他只做他看到父亲所做的事情。父亲做什么，子也做什么。 20 父很爱子，把自己的一切都做给子看，他还要把比治病更了不起的事情做给子看呢。那时候，你们才会吃惊呢。 21 正如父让死人复活并给予他们生命一样，子也会随自己的意愿把生命给予那些他想给予的人们。 22 父不审判任何人，他把所有审判的事情都交给了子。 23 为的是使万民像尊敬父一样尊敬子。不尊敬子的人，就是不尊敬派子来的父”。
24 “我实话告诉你们，谁听我的话，又信仰派我来的那位，谁就会得到永生，就不会被定罪，他就已经出死入生了。 25 我实话告诉你们，这个时刻就要到来了，它已在此了，所有的死者都将听到上帝之子的声音，听到这声音的人都会死而复活的。 26 正如父是生命之源一样，同样，他让子也成为了生命之源， 27 他赋予子审判的权利，因为耶稣是人子。 28 你们不必为此感到惊诧，这一时刻就要来临了，所有进了坟墓的人都会听到他的声音， 29 并且应声而出。行过善的人将复活再生；做过恶事的，将复活被定罪。
30 “我凭自己一无所能，我按照上帝的吩咐来审判，而且，我的审判是公平的，因为我不求取悦自己，只求取悦差谴我的那位。
耶稣对犹太首领继续讲话
31 如果我为自己作证，那么我的证言是无效的， 32 另有一位为我作见证的人，我知道他为我作的见证是有效的。
33 你们派人到约翰那里去过，他告诉了你们真理， 34 但我不依赖凡人的见证，我之所以这样说，是为了使你们能得救。 35 约翰像一盏点燃发光的灯，你们愿意享受他片刻的光。 36 但是，我有比约翰的更有份量的见证，那就是父交给我去完成的事业－也就是我现在所做的事－这些事可证明父亲派遣了我。 37 差谴我来的父亲亲自为我作过见证。你们从未听到过他的声音，也没有见过他的样子， 38 你们不把他的教导记在心里，因为你们不信仰他派来的人。 39 你们钻研《经》，以为通过《经》可以获得永生。正是这些《经》为我作了见证！ 40 然而，你们却不愿意到我这里来求得永生。
41 我不接受凡人的赞美， 42 但是我了解你们，知道你们心中没有上帝的爱。 43 我奉我父的名义而来，你们却不接受我；如果其他人以自己的名义而来，你们竟会接受他！ 44 既然你们并不寻求来自唯一的上帝的赞许，而只接受彼此的恭维，又怎么会相信我呢？ 45 不要以为我会在父面前控告你们，要控告你们的人是你们寄希望的摩西。假如你们真的相信摩西， 46 那么就应该相信我，因为他写下了关于我的事。 47 既然你们连他写的都不相信，又怎么会相信我所说的呢？”
