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?”

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)

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath
5 After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Hebrew called Beth-za′tha,[a] which has five porticoes. 3 In these lay a multitude of invalids, blind, lame, paralyzed.[b] 5 One man was there, who had been ill for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him and knew that he had been lying there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled, and while I am going another steps down before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your pallet, and walk.” 9 And at once the man was healed, and he took up his pallet and walked.
Now that day was the sabbath. 10 So the Jews said to the man who was cured, “It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for you to carry your pallet.” 11 But he answered them, “The man who healed me said to me, ‘Take up your pallet, and walk.’” 12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your pallet, and walk’?” 13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for 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! Sin no more, that nothing worse befall 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 persecuted Jesus, because he did this on the sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working still, and I am working.” 18 This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
The Authority of the Son
19 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, that the Son does likewise. 20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all that he himself is doing; and greater works than these will he show him, that you may marvel. 21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will. 22 The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear 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 in himself, 27 and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come forth, 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 “I can do nothing on my own authority; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me. 31 If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true; 32 there is another who bears witness to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is true. 33 You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved. 35 He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has granted me to accomplish, these very works which I am doing, bear me witness that the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness to me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen; 38 and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent. 39 You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me; 40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. 41 I do not receive glory from men. 42 But I know that you have not the love of God within 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 How can you believe, who receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? 45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; it is Moses who accuses you, on whom you set your hope. 46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
