John 5
New King James Version
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who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?” 13 But the one who was (G)healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well.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?”
约翰福音 5
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
治好病了三十八年的人
5 这些事以后，到了犹太人的一个节期，耶稣就上耶路撒冷去。 2 在耶路撒冷靠近羊门有一个水池，希伯来话叫作毕士大，池边有五条走廊。 3 在那里躺着许多病人，有瞎眼的、瘸腿的和瘫痪的。（有些抄本有以下一段：“他们等候水动，4因为有主的使者按时下去搅动池水，水动之后，谁先下去，无论甚么病，必得痊愈。”） 5 那里有一个人，病了三十八年。 6 耶稣看见他躺着，知道他病了很久，就问他：“你要痊愈吗？” 7 病人回答：“先生，水动的时候，没有人把我放在池里；自己想去的时候，总是给别人抢先。” 8 耶稣对他说：“起来，拿着你的褥子走吧。” 9 那人立刻痊愈，就拿起褥子走了。
那天正是安息日。 10 因此犹太人对那医好了的人说：“今天是安息日，你拿着褥子是不可以的。” 11 他却回答：“那使我痊愈的对我说：‘拿起你的褥子走吧’。” 12 他们就问：“那对你说‘拿起来走吧’的是谁？” 13 那医好了的人不知道他是谁，因为那里人很多，耶稣已经避开了。 14 后来，耶稣在殿里遇见那人，对他说：“你已经痊愈了，不可再犯罪，免得招来更大的祸患。” 15 那人就去告诉犹太人，使他痊愈的就是耶稣。 16 从此犹太人就迫害耶稣，因为他常常在安息日作这些事。 17 耶稣却对他们说：“我父作工直到现在，我也作工。” 18 因此犹太人就更想杀耶稣，因为他不但破坏安息日，而且称 神为自己的父，把自己与 神当作平等。
人子的权柄
19 耶稣又对他们说：“我实实在在告诉你们，子靠着自己不能作甚么，只能作他看见父所作的；因为父所作的事，子也照样作。 20 父爱子，把自己所作的一切指示给他看，还要把比这些更大的事指示给他看，使你们惊奇。 21 父怎样叫死人复活，使他们得生命，子也照样随自己的意思使人得生命。 22 父不审判人，却已经把审判的权柄完全交给子， 23 使所有的人尊敬子好象尊敬父一样。不尊敬子的，就是不尊敬那差他来的父。 24 我实实在在告诉你们，那听见我的话又信那差我来的，就有永生，不被定罪，而是已经出死入生了。 25 我实实在在告诉你们，时候将到，现在就是了，死人要听见 神儿子的声音，听见的人就要活了。 26 就如父是生命的源头，照样他也使子成为生命的源头， 27 并且把执行审判的权柄赐给他，因为他是人子。 28 你们不要把这事看作希奇，因为时候将到，那时所有在坟墓里的都要听见他的声音， 29 并且都要出来；行善的复活得生命，作恶的复活被定罪。
给耶稣作见证的
30 “我靠着自己不能作甚么，我怎样听见，就怎样审判。我的审判是公义的，因为我不寻求自己的意思，只求那差我来者的旨意。 31 我若为自己作证，我的见证就不真。 32 然而另有一位为我作证的，我知道他为我作的见证是真的。 33 你们曾经派人到约翰那里，他为真理作过见证。 34 我不接受从人而来的见证，但我说这些事，是要你们得救。 35 约翰是一盏点亮的灯，你们情愿暂时在他的光中欢乐。 36 但我有比约翰更大的见证，因为父赐给我要我完成的工作，就是我所要作的，证明我是父所差来的。 37 差我来的父亲自为我作了见证。他的声音，你们从没有听过；他的容貌，你们从没有见过； 38 他的道，你们也不放在心里，因为你们不信他所差来的那一位。 39 你们研究圣经，因为你们认为圣经中有永生，其实为我作证的就是这圣经， 40 然而你们却不肯到我这里来得生命。
41 “我不接受从人而来的称赞； 42 我知道你们心里没有 神的爱。 43 我奉我父的名而来，你们不接待我；如果有别人以自己的名义而来，你们倒接待他。 44 你们彼此接受称赞，却不寻求从独一的 神而来的称赞，怎么能信呢？ 45 不要以为我要向父控告你们，有一位控告你们的，就是你们所仰赖的摩西。 46 你们若信摩西，也必信我，因为他所写的书曾论及我。 47 你们若不信他所写的，怎能信我的话呢？”
Yochanan 5
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?
约翰福音 5
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
医好三十八年之病者
5 这事以后，到了犹太人的一个节期，耶稣就上耶路撒冷去。
2 在耶路撒冷，靠近羊门有一个池子，希伯来话叫做毕士大，旁边有五个廊子， 3 里面躺着瞎眼的、瘸腿的、血气枯干的许多病人[a]。 5 在那里有一个人，病了三十八年。 6 耶稣看见他躺着，知道他病了许久，就问他说：“你要痊愈吗？” 7 病人回答说：“先生，水动的时候，没有人把我放在池子里，我正去的时候，就有别人比我先下去。” 8 耶稣对他说：“起来，拿你的褥子走吧！” 9 那人立刻痊愈，就拿起褥子来走了。
犹太人责耶稣犯安息日
10 那天是安息日，所以犹太人对那医好的人说：“今天是安息日，你拿褥子是不可的！” 11 他却回答说：“那使我痊愈的对我说‘拿你的褥子走吧’。” 12 他们问他说：“对你说‘拿褥子走’的是什么人？” 13 那医好的人不知道是谁，因为那里的人多，耶稣已经躲开了。 14 后来耶稣在殿里遇见他，对他说：“你已经痊愈了，不要再犯罪，恐怕你遭遇的更加厉害。” 15 那人就去告诉犹太人，使他痊愈的是耶稣。 16 所以犹太人逼迫耶稣，因为他在安息日做了这事。 17 耶稣就对他们说：“我父做事直到如今，我也做事。” 18 所以犹太人越发想要杀他，因他不但犯了安息日，并且称神为他的父，将自己和神当做平等。
尊敬子如尊敬父
19 耶稣对他们说：“我实实在在地告诉你们：子凭着自己不能做什么，唯有看见父所做的，子才能做；父所做的事，子也照样做。 20 父爱子，将自己所做的一切事指给他看，还要将比这更大的事指给他看，叫你们稀奇。 21 父怎样叫死人起来，使他们活着，子也照样随自己的意思使人活着。 22 父不审判什么人，乃将审判的事全交于子， 23 叫人都尊敬子如同尊敬父一样。不尊敬子的，就是不尊敬差子来的父。 24 我实实在在地告诉你们：那听我话又信差我来者的，就有永生，不至于定罪，是已经出死入生了。 25 我实实在在地告诉你们：时候将到，现在就是了，死人要听见神儿子的声音，听见的人就要活了。 26 因为父怎样在自己有生命，就赐给他儿子也照样在自己有生命， 27 并且因为他是人子，就赐给他行审判的权柄。 28 你们不要把这事看做稀奇。时候要到，凡在坟墓里的，都要听见他的声音，就出来， 29 行善的复活得生，作恶的复活定罪。
30 “我凭着自己不能做什么，我怎么听见就怎么审判。我的审判也是公平的，因为我不求自己的意思，只求那差我来者的意思。 31 我若为自己作见证，我的见证就不真。 32 另有一位给我作见证，我也知道他给我作的见证是真的。 33 你们曾差人到约翰那里，他为真理作过见证。 34 其实我所受的见证不是从人来的，然而我说这些话，为要叫你们得救。 35 约翰是点着的明灯，你们情愿暂时喜欢他的光。 36 但我有比约翰更大的见证，因为父交给我要我成就的事，就是我所做的事，这便见证我是父所差来的。 37 差我来的父也为我作过见证。你们从来没有听见他的声音，也没有看见他的形象。 38 你们并没有他的道存在心里，因为他所差来的，你们不信。
圣经为耶稣的证据
39 “你们查考圣经[b]，因你们以为内中有永生。给我作见证的就是这经， 40 然而你们不肯到我这里来得生命。 41 我不受从人来的荣耀。 42 但我知道，你们心里没有神的爱。 43 我奉我父的名来，你们并不接待我；若有别人奉自己的名来，你们倒要接待他。 44 你们互相受荣耀，却不求从独一之神来的荣耀，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们，有一位告你们的，就是你们所仰赖的摩西。 46 你们如果信摩西，也必信我，因为他书上有指着我写的话。 47 你们若不信他的书，怎能信我的话呢？”
