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？」
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?”
John 5
New International Reader's Version
Jesus Heals a Man at the Pool
5 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish feasts. 2 In Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate is a pool. In the Aramaic language it is called Bethesda. It is surrounded by five rows of columns with a roof over them. 3-4 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie down. Among them were those who were blind, those who could not walk, and those who could hardly move. 5 One person was there who had not been able to walk for 38 years. 6 Jesus saw him lying there. He knew that the man had been in that condition for a long time. So he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
7 “Sir,” the disabled man replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when an angel stirs up the water. I try to get in, but someone else always goes down ahead of me.”
8 Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” 9 The man was healed right away. He picked up his mat and walked.
This happened on a Sabbath day. 10 So the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath day. The law does not allow you to carry your mat.”
11 But he replied, “The one who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’ ”
12 They asked him, “Who is this fellow? Who told you to pick it up and walk?”
13 The one who was healed had no idea who it was. Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.
14 Later Jesus found him at the temple. Jesus said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away. He told the Jewish leaders it was Jesus who had made him well.
The Authority of the Son
16 Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath day. So the Jewish leaders began to oppose him. 17 Jesus defended himself. He said to them, “My Father is always doing his work. He is working right up to this day. I am working too.” 18 For this reason the Jewish leaders tried even harder to kill him. According to them, Jesus was not only breaking the law of the Sabbath day. He was even calling God his own Father. He was making himself equal with God.
19 Jesus answered, “What I’m about to tell you is true. The Son can do nothing by himself. He can do only what he sees his Father doing. What the Father does, the Son also does. 20 This is because the Father loves the Son. The Father shows him everything he does. Yes, and the Father will show the Son even greater works than these. And you will be amazed. 21 The Father raises the dead and gives them life. In the same way, the Son gives life to anyone he wants to. 22 Also, the Father does not judge anyone. He has given the Son the task of judging. 23 Then all people will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.
24 “What I’m about to tell you is true. Anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. They will not be judged. They have crossed over from death to life. 25 What I’m about to tell you is true. A time is coming for me to give life. In fact, it has already begun. The dead will hear the voice of the Son of God. Those who hear it will live. 26 The Father has life in himself. He has allowed the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And the Father has given him the authority to judge. This is because he is the Son of Man.
28 “Do not be amazed at this. A time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice. 29 They will all come out of their graves. People who have done what is good will rise and live again. People who have done what is evil will rise and be found guilty. 30 I can do nothing by myself. I judge only as I hear. And my judging is fair. I do not try to please myself. I try to please the one who sent me.
Being a Witness About Jesus
31 “If I am a witness about myself, what I say is not true. 32 There is someone else who is a witness in my favor. And I know that what he says about me is true.
33 “You have sent people to John the Baptist. He has been a witness to the truth. 34 I do not accept what a person says. I only talk about what John says so that you can be saved. 35 John was like a lamp that burned and gave light. For a while you chose to enjoy his light.
36 “What I say about myself is more important than what John says about me. I am doing the works the Father gave me to finish. These works are a witness that the Father has sent me. 37 The Father who sent me is himself a witness about me. You have never heard his voice. You have never seen what he really looks like. 38 And his word does not live in you. That’s because you do not believe the one he sent. 39 You study the Scriptures carefully. You study them because you think they will give you eternal life. The Scriptures you study are a witness about me. 40 But you refuse to come to me and receive life.
41 “I do not accept praise from human beings. 42 But I know you. I know that you do not have love for 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 You accept praise from one another. But you do not seek the praise that comes from the only God. So how can you believe?
45 “Do not think I will bring charges against you in front of the Father. Moses is the one who does that. And he is the one you build your hopes on. 46 Do you believe Moses? Then you should believe me. He wrote about me. 47 But you do not believe what he wrote. So how are you going to believe what I say?”
