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)

Čovjek kod ribnjaka
5 Nakon toga, bio je židovski blagdan pa se Isus zaputio u Jeruzalem. 2 U Jeruzalemu se uz Ovčja vrata nalazi ribnjak. Na aramejskom se zove »Bethesda«, a ima pet natkrivenih trijemova. 3 Ispod njih je ležalo mnogo bolesnika, slijepaca, invalida i nepokretnih.[a] 4 [b] 5 Ondje je bio i čovjek koji je bolovao već trideset i osam godina. 6 Isus ga je vidio kako leži i znao je da već dugo boluje. Upitao ga je: »Želiš li ozdraviti?«
7 Bolesnik mu je odgovorio: »Gospodine, nema nikoga tko bi mi pomogao da uđem u ribnjak kad se uzburka voda. Kad krenem prema vodi, uvijek netko drugi uđe u nju prije mene.«
8 »Ustani«, na to će mu Isus, »uzmi svoj ležaj i hodaj!« 9 Čovjek je odmah ozdravio, uzeo svoj ležaj i počeo hodati.
10 Bio je šabat, dan odmora, pa su Židovi počeli govoriti čovjeku kojega je Isus ozdravio: »Danas je šabat. To što nosiš ležaj na šabat protivi se našem Zakonu!«
11 On im je odvratio: »Čovjek, koji me ozdravio, rekao mi je: ‘Uzmi svoj ležaj i hodaj.’«
12 Na to su ga upitali: »Koji ti je čovjek rekao da uzmeš svoj ležaj i hodaš?«
13 No on nije znao tko je bio čovjek koji ga je ozdravio. Na tom je mjestu bila velika gužva i Isus se neopaženo udaljio.
14 Kasnije ga je Isus pronašao u Hramu i rekao mu: »Vidiš, sada si zdrav. Ne griješi više, da ti se ne dogodi nešto gore!«
15 Čovjek je otišao i rekao Židovima da je Isus taj koji ga je iscijelio.
16 A Židovi su počeli progoniti Isusa jer je sve to činio na šabat. 17 Isus im je odgovorio: »Moj Otac nikada ne prestaje raditi. Tako i ja radim.«
18 Te su riječi bile povod Židovima da još više nastoje ubiti Isusa. Jer, ne samo što je kršio zakon o šabatu nego je Boga nazivao svojim Ocem. Izjednačio je sebe s Bogom.
Bog je Isusu dao vlast
19 Isus im je odgovorio: »Istinu vam kažem. Sin sâm od sebe ne može učiniti ništa, već samo ono što vidi da čini Otac. Što god čini Otac, to čini i Sin. 20 Otac ljubi Sina i pokazuje mu sve što čini. Pokazat će mu i veća djela od ovih. Tada ćete svi ostati zadivljeni. 21 Jer, kao što Otac podiže ljude od mrtvih i daruje im život, tako i Sin daruje život kome hoće. 22 Otac ne sudi nikome, nego je pravo donošenja suda prenio na svoga Sina, 23 da bi svi poštovali Sina kao što poštuju Oca. Tko ne poštuje Sina, ne poštuje ni Oca koji ga je poslao.
24 Govorim vam istinu, tko čuje moje riječi i povjeruje u onoga koji me poslao, ima vječni život. Njemu se neće suditi. On je iz smrti prešao u život. 25 Govorim vam istinu. Dolazi vrijeme—zapravo, već je došlo—kad će svi mrtvi čuti glas Božjega Sina. I svi koji čuju njegov glas, oživjet će. 26 Kao što je Otac izvor života, tako je i svojega Sina učinio izvorom života. 27 A dao mu je i vlast da sudi jer je on Sin Čovječji. 28 Neka vas ovo ne začudi! Jer, dolazi vrijeme kad će svi mrtvi čuti glas Sina Čovječjega te 29 izaći iz svojih grobova. Oni koji su činili dobro, ustat će i primiti vječni život, a oni koji su činili zlo, ustat će i primiti osudu. 30 Ja ne mogu ništa učiniti sâm. Sudim samo na temelju onoga što čujem. Moja je presuda pravedna jer ne vršim svoju volju, nego volju onoga koji me poslao.
31 Ako sâm svjedočim za sebe, moje svjedočanstvo nije vjerodostojno. 32 Postoji jedan koji svjedoči za mene i ja znam da je to svjedočanstvo o meni vjerodostojno.
33 Vi ste poslali ljude k Ivanu i on vam je govorio o istini. 34 Meni nije potrebno da čovjek govori o meni, ali vam sve ovo govorim da biste se spasili. 35 Ivan je bio poput svjetiljke koja gori i daje svjetlo. Vi ste nakratko željeli uživati u njegovoj svjetlosti.
36 No moje je svjedočanstvo veće od Ivanovog—djela su to koja mi je Otac povjerio da ih izvršim. Upravo ova djela koja sada činim svjedoče za mene i dokazuju da me poslao Otac. 37 I Otac, koji me je poslao, svjedočio je za mene. Vi mu nikada niste čuli glas niti ste ga vidjeli kako izgleda. 38 Njegova riječ ne živi u vama jer ne želite vjerovati onomu koga je poslao. 39 Proučavate Sveto pismo misleći da u njemu možete pronaći vječni život, a upravo to Sveto pismo govori o meni. 40 Pa, ipak, ne želite doći k meni da biste imali život.
41 Ja ne želim ljudske hvale. 42 Poznajem vas i znam da u vama nema Božje ljubavi. 43 Ja sam došao u ime svoga Oca, a ipak me ne želite prihvatiti. Da netko drugi dođe u svoje ime, njega biste prihvatili. 44 Kako možete vjerovati, vi, koji prihvaćate hvale jedan od drugoga, a ne tražite hvalu koja dolazi od jedinoga Boga? 45 Nemojte misliti da ću vas ja optužiti pred Ocem; optužit će vas Mojsije, u kojeg ste položili svoje nade. 46 Jer, da ste zaista vjerovali Mojsiju, vjerovali biste i meni. Mojsije je, naime, pisao o meni. 47 No, ako ne vjerujete onome što je napisao Mojsije, kako ćete povjerovati mojim riječima?«

The Healing at the Pool on the Sabbath
5 After this there was a (A)feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem by (B)the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic[a] called Bethesda,[b] which has five roofed colonnades. 3 In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and (C)paralyzed.[c] 5 One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, (D)“Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” 9 (E)And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked.
(F)Now that day was the Sabbath. 10 So the Jews[d] said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and (G)it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.” 11 But he answered them, “The man who healed me, that man said to me, ‘Take up your bed, and walk.’” 12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?” 13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for (H)Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! (I)Sin no more, (J)that nothing worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. 16 And this was why the Jews (K)were persecuting Jesus, (L)because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”
Jesus Is Equal with God
18 This was why the Jews (M)were seeking all the more to kill him, (N)because not only was he (O)breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God (P)his own Father, (Q)making himself equal with God.
The Authority of the Son
19 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, (R)the Son (S)can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father[e] does, that the Son does likewise. 20 For (T)the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And (U)greater works than these will he show him, so that (V)you may marvel. 21 For as the Father (W)raises the dead and (X)gives them life, so (Y)also the Son gives life (Z)to whom he will. 22 (AA)For the Father judges no one, but (AB)has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they (AC)honor the Father. (AD)Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, (AE)whoever hears my word and (AF)believes him who sent me has eternal life. He (AG)does not come into judgment, but (AH)has passed from death to life.
25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, (AI)an hour is coming, and is now here, when (AJ)the dead will hear (AK)the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear (AL)will live. 26 (AM)For as the Father has life in himself, (AN)so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he (AO)has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this, for (AP)an hour is coming when (AQ)all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, (AR)those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
Witnesses to Jesus
30 (AS)“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and (AT)my judgment is just, because (AU)I seek not my own will (AV)but the will of him who sent me. 31 (AW)If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is (AX)another who bears witness about me, and (AY)I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true. 33 (AZ)You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Not that (BA)the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 35 He was a burning and (BB)shining lamp, and (BC)you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But (BD)the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For (BE)the works that the Father has given me (BF)to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, (BG)bear witness about me that (BH)the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me (BI)has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, (BJ)his form you have never seen, 38 and (BK)you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. 39 (BL)You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and (BM)it is they that bear witness about me, 40 yet (BN)you refuse to come to me that you may have life. 41 (BO)I do not receive glory from people. 42 But (BP)I know that you do not have (BQ)the love of God within you. 43 I have come (BR)in my Father's name, and (BS)you do not receive me. (BT)If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and (BU)do not seek the glory that comes from (BV)the only God? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, (BW)on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for (BX)he wrote of me. 47 But (BY)if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
