Ang Pagpapagaling sa Bethzata

5 Pagkaraan nito'y dumating ang isang pista ng mga Judio, at pumunta si Jesus sa Jerusalem. 2 Sa lungsod na ito, malapit sa Pintuan ng mga Tupa ay may malaking imbakan ng tubig na may limang portiko. Kung tawagin ito sa wikang Hebreo ay Bethzata.[a] 3 Nasa paligid nito ang maraming maysakit, mga bulag, mga pilay, at mga paralitiko. [4 Sila'y naghihintay na gumalaw ang tubig, dahil may panahong ang isang anghel ng Panginoon ay bumababa at pinapagalaw ang tubig, at ang maunang lumusong sa tubig matapos na ito'y gumalaw ay gumagaling sa anumang karamdaman.][b]

5 May isang lalaki doon na tatlumpu't walong taon nang may sakit. 6 Nakita siya ni Jesus at alam niyang matagal nang may sakit ang lalaki kaya't tinanong niya ito, “Gusto mo bang gumaling?”

7 Sumagot ang maysakit, “Ginoo, wala pong maglulusong sa akin kapag gumalaw na ang tubig; papunta pa lamang ako, may nauuna na sa akin.”

8 Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Tumayo ka, buhatin mo ang iyong higaan at lumakad ka.” 9 Noon di'y gumaling ang lalaki, binuhat ang kanyang higaan, at lumakad.

Noo'y Araw ng Pamamahinga 10 kaya't(A) sinabi ng mga pinuno ng mga Judio sa lalaking pinagaling, “Araw ng Pamamahinga ngayon! Labag sa Kautusan na dalhin mo ang iyong higaan.”

11 Ngunit sumagot siya, “Ang nagpagaling po sa akin ang nagsabing buhatin ko ang aking higaan at lumakad ako.”

12 At siya'y tinanong nila, “Sino ang nagsabi sa iyong buhatin mo ang iyong higaan at lumakad ka?” 13 Ngunit hindi alam ng lalaki kung sino ang nagpagaling sa kanya, sapagkat maraming tao sa lugar na iyon at nakaalis na si Jesus.

14 Pagkatapos nito, nakita ni Jesus sa loob ng Templo ang lalaki at sinabihan itong, “Magaling ka na ngayon! Huwag ka nang gumawa ng kasalanan at baka masahol pa riyan ang mangyari sa iyo.”

15 Umalis ang lalaki at sinabi sa mga Judio na si Jesus ang nagpagaling sa kanya. 16 Dahil dito, si Jesus ay sinimulang usigin ng mga pinuno ng mga Judio, sapagkat ginawa niya ito sa Araw ng Pamamahinga.

17 Ngunit sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Ang aking Ama ay patuloy sa kanyang gawain hanggang ngayon, at gayundin ako.” 18 Lalo(B) namang pinagsikapan ng mga Judio na ipapatay siya, sapagkat hindi lamang niya nilabag ang batas tungkol sa Araw ng Pamamahinga, sinasabi pa niyang ang Diyos ang kanyang Ama, at sa gayon ay ipinapantay ang kanyang sarili sa Diyos.

Ang Kapangyarihan ng Anak

19 Kaya't sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Pakatandaan ninyo na walang magagawa ang Anak sa kanyang sarili lamang; ang nakikita niyang ginagawa ng Ama ang siya lamang niyang ginagawa. Ang ginagawa ng Ama ay siya ring ginagawa ng Anak, 20 sapagkat minamahal ng Ama ang Anak at ipinapakita sa Anak ang lahat ng ginagawa niya at higit pa sa mga ito ang mga gawang ipapakita sa kanya ng Ama upang kayo'y mamangha. 21 Kung paanong ibinabangon ng Ama ang mga patay at binibigyan sila ng buhay, gayundin naman, binubuhay ng Anak ang sinumang nais niyang buhayin. 22 Hindi humahatol kaninuman ang Ama, sa halip ay ibinigay na niya sa Anak ang buong kapangyarihang humatol 23 upang maparangalan ng lahat ang Anak, tulad ng kanilang pagpaparangal sa Ama. Ang hindi nagpaparangal sa Anak ay hindi nagpaparangal sa Ama na nagsugo sa Anak.

24 “Pakatandaan ninyo: ang nakikinig sa aking salita at sumasampalataya sa nagsugo sa akin ay may buhay na walang hanggan. Hindi na siya hahatulan kundi nakatawid na siya sa buhay mula sa kamatayan. 25 Pakatandaan ninyo na darating ang oras, at ngayon na nga, na maririnig ng mga patay ang tinig ng Anak ng Diyos at ang sinumang makinig sa kanya ay mabubuhay. 26 Kung paanong ang Ama mismo ang pinagmumulan ng buhay, gayon din naman ang Anak na binigyan niya ng ganoong karapatan. 27 Binigyan niya ang Anak ng kapangyarihang humatol, sapagkat siya ang Anak ng Tao. 28 Huwag ninyo itong pagtakhan, sapagkat darating ang oras na maririnig ng mga patay ang kanyang tinig 29 at sila'y(C) babangon. Lahat ng gumawa ng kabutihan ay babangon patungo sa buhay na walang hanggan, at lahat ng gumawa ng kasamaan ay babangon patungo sa kaparusahan.”

Mga Saksi para kay Jesus

30 “Wala akong magagawa sa sarili ko lamang. Humahatol ako ayon sa sinasabi sa akin ng Ama, kaya't matuwid ang hatol ko. Hindi ang sarili kong kalooban ang aking sinusunod kundi ang kalooban ng nagsugo sa akin.

31 “Kung ako lamang ang nagpapatotoo tungkol sa aking sarili, ang patotoo ko ay walang katotohanan. 32 Ngunit may ibang nagpapatotoo tungkol sa akin, at totoo ang kanyang sinasabi. 33 Nagpadala(D) kayo ng mga sugo kay Juan at nagpatotoo siya tungkol sa katotohanan. 34 Hindi sa kailangan ko ang patotoo ng tao; sinasabi ko lamang ito para maligtas kayo. 35 Si(E) Juan ay parang maningas na ilaw na nagliliwanag noon, at kayo'y sandaling nasiyahan sa kanyang liwanag. 36 Ngunit may patotoo tungkol sa akin na higit pa sa patotoo ni Juan. Ang mga gawang ipinapagawa sa akin ng Ama na siya ko namang ginaganap, ang nagpapatotoo na ako'y isinugo ng Ama. 37 At(F) ang Ama na nagsugo sa akin ay nagpapatotoo rin tungkol sa akin. Kailanma'y hindi ninyo narinig ang kanyang tinig ni nakita man ang kanyang anyo. 38 Hindi nanatili sa inyong mga puso ang kanyang salita sapagkat hindi kayo sumasampalataya sa isinugo niya. 39 Sinasaliksik(G) ninyo ang mga Kasulatan sa pag-aakalang doon ninyo matatagpuan ang buhay na walang hanggan. Ang mga Kasulatang iyan ang nagpapatotoo tungkol sa akin! 40 Ngunit ayaw naman ninyong lumapit sa akin upang kayo'y magkaroon ng buhay.

41 “Hindi ako naghahangad ng parangal ng tao. 42 Subalit kilala ko kayo; alam kong wala kayong pag-ibig sa Diyos. 43 Naparito ako sa pangalan ng aking Ama, subalit ayaw ninyo akong tanggapin. Kung may ibang pumarito sa kanyang sariling pangalan, siya'y inyong tatanggapin. 44 Paano kayo maniniwala sa akin kung ang hinahangad ninyo'y ang papuri ng isa't isa at hindi ang papuri na nanggagaling sa iisang Diyos? 45 Huwag ninyong isipin na ako ang magsasakdal laban sa inyo sa harapan ng Ama. Si Moises, na inaasahan ninyo, ang siyang maghaharap ng paratang laban sa inyo. 46 Kung talagang naniniwala kayo kay Moises, maniniwala din kayo sa akin, sapagkat sumulat siya tungkol sa akin. 47 Ngunit kung hindi kayo naniniwala sa mga isinulat niya, paano kayo maniniwala sa mga sinasabi ko?”

New American Bible (Revised Edition)

Chapter 5[a]

Cure on a Sabbath. 1 After this, there was a feast[b] of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.(A) 2 Now there is in Jerusalem at the Sheep [Gate][c] a pool called in Hebrew Bethesda, with five porticoes.(B) 3 In these lay a large number of ill, blind, lame, and crippled.[d] [4 ][e] 5 One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been ill for a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be well?” 7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; while I am on my way, someone else gets down there before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your mat, and walk.”(C) 9 Immediately the man became well, took up his mat, and walked.(D)

Now that day was a sabbath. 10 So the Jews said to the man who was cured, “It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to carry your mat.”(E) 11 He answered them, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’” 12 They asked him, “Who is the man who told you, ‘Take it up and walk’?” 13 The man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away, since there was a crowd there.(F) 14 [f]After this Jesus found him in the temple area and said to him,(G) “Look, you are well; do not sin any more, so that nothing worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went and told the Jews that Jesus was the one who had made him well. 16 Therefore, the Jews began to persecute Jesus because he did this on a sabbath.(H) 17 [g]But Jesus answered them,(I) “My Father is at work until now, so I am at work.” 18 For this reason the Jews tried all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but he also called God his own father, making himself equal to God.(J)

The Work of the Son. 19 [h]Jesus answered and said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, a son cannot do anything on his own, but only what he sees his father doing;(K) for what he does, his son will do also. 20 For the Father loves his Son and shows him everything that he himself does, and he will show him greater works than these, so that you may be amazed.(L) 21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives life,[i] so also does the Son give life to whomever he wishes.(M) 22 Nor does the Father judge anyone, but he has given all judgment[j] to his Son,(N) 23 so 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. 24 Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and will not come to condemnation, but has passed from death to life.(O) 25 Amen, amen, I say to you, the hour is coming and is now here when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.(P) 26 For just as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to his Son the possession of life in himself.(Q) 27 And he gave him power to exercise judgment, because he is the Son of Man.(R) 28 [k]Do not be amazed at this, because the hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice(S) 29 and will come out, those who have done good deeds to the resurrection of life, but those who have done wicked deeds to the resurrection of condemnation.(T)

30 “I cannot do anything on my own; I judge as I hear, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the one who sent me.(U)

Witnesses to Jesus. 31 (V)“If I testify on my own behalf, my testimony cannot be verified. 32 But there is another[l] who testifies on my behalf, and I know that the testimony he gives on my behalf is true. 33 You sent emissaries to John, and he testified to the truth.(W) 34 I do not accept testimony from a human being, but I say this so that you may be saved.(X) 35 He was a burning and shining lamp,[m] and for a while you were content to rejoice in his light.(Y) 36 But I have testimony greater than John’s. The works that the Father gave me to accomplish, these works that I perform testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me.(Z) 37 Moreover, the Father who sent me has testified on my behalf. But you have never heard his voice nor seen his form,(AA) 38 and you do not have his word remaining in you, because you do not believe in the one whom he has sent.(AB) 39 You search[n] the scriptures, because you think you have eternal life through them; even they testify on my behalf.(AC) 40 But you do not want to come to me to have life.

Unbelief of Jesus’ Hearers. 41 “I do not accept human praise;[o] 42 moreover, I know that you do not have the love of God in you.(AD) 43 I came in the name of my Father, but you do not accept me; yet if another comes in his own name, you will accept him.(AE) 44 How can you believe, when you accept praise from one another and do not seek the praise that comes from the only God?(AF) 45 Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father: the one who will accuse you is Moses, in whom you have placed your hope.(AG) 46 For if you had believed Moses, you would have believed me, because he wrote about me.(AH) 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”

Footnotes

  1. 5:1–47 The self-revelation of Jesus continues in Jerusalem at a feast. The third sign (cf. Jn 2:11; 4:54) is performed, the cure of a paralytic by Jesus’ life-giving word. The water of the pool fails to bring life; Jesus’ word does.
  2. 5:1 The reference in Jn 5:45–46 to Moses suggests that the feast was Pentecost. The connection of that feast with the giving of the law to Moses on Sinai, attested in later Judaism, may already have been made in the first century. The feast could also be Passover (cf. Jn 6:4). John stresses that the day was a sabbath (Jn 5:9).
  3. 5:2 There is no noun with Sheep. “Gate” is supplied on the grounds that there must have been a gate in the NE wall of the temple area where animals for sacrifice were brought in; cf. Neh 3:1, 32; 12:39. Hebrew: more precisely, Aramaic. Bethesda: preferred to variants “Be(th)zatha” and “Bethsaida”; bêt-’ešdatayīn is given as the name of a double pool northeast of the temple area in the Qumran Copper Roll. Five porticoes: a pool excavated in Jerusalem actually has five porticoes.
  4. 5:3 The Caesarean and Western recensions, followed by the Vulgate, add “waiting for the movement of the water.” Apparently an intermittent spring in the pool bubbled up occasionally (see Jn 5:7). This turbulence was believed to cure.
  5. 5:4 Toward the end of the second century in the West and among the fourth-century Greek Fathers, an additional verse was known: “For [from time to time] an angel of the Lord used to come down into the pool; and the water was stirred up, so the first one to get in [after the stirring of the water] was healed of whatever disease afflicted him.” The angel was a popular explanation of the turbulence and the healing powers attributed to it. This verse is missing from all early Greek manuscripts and the earliest versions, including the original Vulgate. Its vocabulary is markedly non-Johannine.
  6. 5:14 While the cure of the paralytic in Mk 2:1–12 is associated with the forgiveness of sins, Jesus never drew a one-to-one connection between sin and suffering (cf. Jn 9:3; Lk 12:1–5), as did Ez 18:20.
  7. 5:17 Sabbath observance (Jn 5:10) was based on God’s resting on the seventh day (cf. Gn 2:2–3; Ex 20:11). Philo and some rabbis insisted that God’s providence remains active on the sabbath, keeping all things in existence, giving life in birth and taking it away in death. Other rabbis taught that God rested from creating, but not from judging (= ruling, governing). Jesus here claims the same authority to work as the Father, and, in the discourse that follows, the same divine prerogatives: power over life and death (Jn 5:21, 24–26) and judgment (Jn 5:22, 27).
  8. 5:19 This proverb or parable is taken from apprenticeship in a trade: the activity of a son is modeled on that of his father. Jesus’ dependence on the Father is justification for doing what the Father does.
  9. 5:21 Gives life: in the Old Testament, a divine prerogative (Dt 32:39; 1 Sm 2:6; 2 Kgs 5:7; Tb 13:2; Is 26:19; Dn 12:2).
  10. 5:22 Judgment: another divine prerogative, often expressed as acquittal or condemnation (Dt 32:36; Ps 43:1).
  11. 5:28–29 While Jn 5:19–27 present realized eschatology, Jn 5:28–29 are future eschatology; cf. Dn 12:2.
  12. 5:32 Another: likely the Father, who in four different ways gives testimony to Jesus, as indicated in the verse groupings Jn 5:33–34, 36, 37–38, 39–40.
  13. 5:35 Lamp: cf. Ps 132:17—“I will place a lamp for my anointed (= David),” and possibly the description of Elijah in Sir 48:1. But only for a while, indicating the temporary and subordinate nature of John’s mission.
  14. 5:39 You search: this may be an imperative: “Search the scriptures, because you think that you have eternal life through them.”
  15. 5:41 Praise: the same Greek word means “praise” or “honor” (from others) and “glory” (from God). There is a play on this in Jn 5:44.

John 5
New International Version

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)
