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)

De genezing van een man bij de vijver van Betesda
5 Daarna ging Jezus naar Jeruzalem voor één van de Joodse feesten. 2 In Jeruzalem is bij de Schaapspoort een vijver om te baden. Die plek wordt in het Hebreeuws 'Betesda' (= 'huis van medelijden') genoemd. Er zijn vijf zuilengangen omheen gebouwd. 3 In die gangen lagen allerlei zieke, blinde, kreupele en verlamde mensen. Ze lagen daar te wachten tot het water zou gaan bewegen. 4 Want af en toe daalde er een engel in de vijver neer. Dan bewoog het water. Wie daarna het eerst in het water kwam, werd genezen. Het maakte niet uit wat voor ziekte hij had.
5 Er was daar een man die al 38 jaar lang ziek was. 6 Jezus zag hem liggen. Hij wist dat hij daar al heel lang was. Hij vroeg hem: "Wil je gezond worden?" 7 De zieke man antwoordde Hem: "Heer, ik heb niemand om me in de vijver te gooien als het water beweegt. En als ik probeer om bij de vijver te komen, is iemand anders er altijd eerder dan ik." 8 Jezus zei tegen hem: "Sta op, pak je matras op en loop." 9 Onmiddellijk werd de man gezond. Hij pakte zijn matras op en liep.
Nu was het die dag de heilige rustdag. 10 Daarom zeiden de Joden tegen de man die net genezen was: "Het is vandaag de heilige rustdag. Dus je mag je matras niet dragen."[a] 11 Maar hij zei tegen hen: "Maar de Man die mij heeft genezen, zei tegen me: 'Pak je matras op en loop.' " 12 Toen vroegen ze: "Wie heeft dat dan tegen je gezegd?" 13 Maar de man wist niet wie Hij was. Want Jezus was weer weggegaan, omdat er daar heel veel mensen waren.
14 Maar later zocht Jezus hem op in de tempel. Hij zei tegen hem: "Kijk, je bent nu gezond geworden. Wees vanaf nu niet meer ongehoorzaam aan God, want anders kan je nog iets veel ergers overkomen." 15 De man ging weg en zei tegen de Joden dat het Jezus was geweest die hem genezen had. 16 Toen wilden de Joden Jezus gevangen nemen en doden. Dat wilden ze omdat Hij deze dingen op de heilige rustdag had gedaan. 17 Maar Hij antwoordde hun: "Mijn Vader werkt altijd, en Ik dus ook." 18 Toen hadden de Joden nog méér reden om Hem te willen doden. Want Hij hield Zich dus niet aan de heilige rustdag, en beweerde óók nog dat God zijn eigen Vader was. Daarmee zei Hij eigenlijk dat Hij gelijk was aan God.
Jezus legt uit dat Hij door God is gestuurd
19 Jezus antwoordde hun: "Luister goed! Ik zeg jullie dat de Zoon niets uit Zichzelf kan doen. Hij doet alleen wat Hij de Vader ziet doen. Alles wat de Vader doet, doet de Zoon ook. 20 Want de Vader houdt van de Zoon en Hij laat Hem alles zien wat Hij doet. En jullie zullen verbaasd staan, want Hij zal jullie nog geweldiger dingen laten zien dan dit. 21 Want net zoals de Vader de doden levend maakt, zo maakt ook de Zoon levend wie Hij wil. 22 Want de Vader oordeelt niemand. Hij heeft tegen de Zoon gezegd dat Híj over de mensen mag rechtspreken. 23 Daarom moeten de mensen voor de Zoon net zoveel respect hebben als voor de Vader. Mensen die geen respect hebben voor de Zoon, hebben ook geen respect voor de Vader die Hem heeft gestuurd.
24 Luister goed! Ik zeg jullie: iedereen die naar Mij luistert en gelooft in de Vader die Mij heeft gestuurd, heeft het eeuwige leven. Hij zal niet veroordeeld worden. Want zo iemand is niet langer dood, maar is het leven binnen gegaan. 25 Luister goed! Ik zeg jullie dat nu de tijd begonnen is dat de doden naar de Zoon van God zullen luisteren. Daardoor zullen ze leven. 26 Want net zoals de Vader het leven zelf is, is ook de Zoon het leven zelf. 27 En de Vader heeft de Zoon het recht gegeven om te oordelen, omdat Hij de Mensenzoon is. 28 Wees hier maar niet verbaasd over. Want het zal niet lang meer duren voordat de doden in de graven naar zijn stem zullen luisteren. 29 Dan zullen ze uit de dood opstaan. De mensen die het goede gedaan hebben, zullen dan het eeuwige leven binnengaan. Maar de mensen die slechte dingen hebben gedaan, zullen worden gestraft.
30 Ik kan niets uit Mijzelf doen. Ik oordeel volgens wat Ik van mijn Vader hoor. En Ik oordeel rechtvaardig. Want Ik doe niet wat Ik Zélf graag wil, maar Ik doe wat mijn Vader wil. Want Hij heeft Mij gestuurd. 31 Als Ik Zelf zeg wie Ik ben, hoeft dat niet waar te zijn. 32 Maar er is nog iemand anders die zegt wie Ik ben: Johannes. En Ik weet dat het waar is wat hij over Mij zegt. 33 Jullie hebben mensen naar Johannes gestuurd, om te weten te komen wat hij te vertellen had. Hij heeft jullie de waarheid gezegd. 34 Eigenlijk maakt het Mij niet uit wat een mens over Mij zegt. Maar Ik zeg jullie dit, omdat Ik wil dat jullie worden gered. 35 Johannes gaf jullie licht, net zoals een brandende olielamp licht geeft. En jullie zijn een poosje blij geweest met het licht dat hij gaf.
36 Maar er is iets dat meer over Mij zegt dan Johannes. Namelijk: de dingen die Ik namens mijn Vader doe. Die laten zien dat de Vader Mij heeft gestuurd. 37 En de Vader die Mij heeft gestuurd, heeft Zelf ook over Mij gesproken. Jullie hebben nooit zijn stem gehoord en jullie hebben Hem nooit gezien. 38 En jullie luisteren niet echt naar Hem. Want jullie willen Mij niet geloven, terwijl Ik toch door Hem gestuurd ben. 39 Jullie bestuderen de Boeken, want jullie verwachten daardoor het eeuwige leven te krijgen. In de Boeken staat wie Ik ben. 40 Maar toch willen jullie niet naar Mij toe komen om eeuwig leven te krijgen.
41 Het maakt Mij niet uit wat de mensen van Mij vinden. 42 Maar Ik ken jullie: er is geen liefde voor God in jullie hart. 43 Ik ben gekomen namens mijn Vader, maar jullie willen Mij niet geloven. Maar als iemand anders komt namens zichzelf, geloven jullie hém wel. 44 Jullie kunnen Mij niet geloven. Dat komt doordat jullie het wél belangrijk vinden wat andere mensen van jullie denken, maar het níet belangrijk vinden wat God van jullie vindt. 45 Denk niet dat Ík jullie zal beschuldigen bij de Vader. Nee, Mozes[b] zal jullie beschuldigen, terwijl jullie juist van hém verwachten dat hij jullie eeuwig leven zal geven.[c] 46 Maar als jullie Mozes werkelijk geloofden, zouden jullie ook Mij geloven. Want hij heeft over Mij geschreven. 47 Maar als jullie zijn Boeken niet geloven, zullen jullie Mij ook niet geloven."

Jesus Heals a Sick Man
5 Later, Jesus went to Jerusalem for another Jewish festival.[a] 2 In the city near the sheep gate was a pool with five porches, and its name in Hebrew was Bethzatha.[b]
3-4 Many sick, blind, lame, and paralyzed people were lying close to the pool.[c]
5 Beside the pool was a man who had been sick for 38 years. 6 When Jesus saw the man and realized that he had been crippled for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to be healed?”
7 The man answered, “Sir, I don't have anyone to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up. I try to get in, but someone else always gets there first.”
8 Jesus told him, “Pick up your mat and walk!” 9 Right then the man was healed. He picked up his mat and started walking around. The day on which this happened was a Sabbath.
10 (A) When the Jewish leaders saw the man carrying his mat, they said to him, “This is the Sabbath! No one is allowed to carry a mat on the Sabbath.”
11 But he replied, “The man who healed me told me to pick up my mat and walk.”
12 They asked him, “Who is this man that told you to pick up your mat and walk?” 13 But he did not know who Jesus was, and Jesus had left because of the crowd.
14 Later, Jesus met the man in the temple and told him, “You are now well. But don't sin anymore or something worse might happen to you.” 15 The man left and told the leaders that Jesus was the one who had healed him. 16 They started making a lot of trouble for Jesus because he did things like this on the Sabbath.
17 But Jesus said, “My Father has never stopped working, and this is why I keep on working.” 18 (B) Now the leaders wanted to kill Jesus for two reasons. First, he had broken the law of the Sabbath. But even worse, he had said God was his Father, which made him equal with God.
The Son's Authority
19 Jesus told the people:
I tell you for certain the Son cannot do anything on his own. He can do only what he sees the Father doing, and he does exactly what he sees the Father do. 20 The Father loves the Son and has shown him everything he does. The Father will show him even greater things, and you will be amazed. 21 Just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, so the Son gives life to anyone he wants to.
22 The Father doesn't judge anyone, but he has made his Son the judge of everyone. 23 The Father wants all people to honor the Son as much as they honor him. When anyone refuses to honor the Son, this is the same as refusing to honor the Father who sent him. 24 I tell you for certain that everyone who hears my message and has faith in the one who sent me has eternal life and will never be condemned. They have already gone from death to life.
25 I tell you for certain the time will come, and it is already here, when all of the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God. And those who listen to it will live! 26 The Father has the power to give life, and he has given that same power to the Son. 27 And he has given his Son the right to judge everyone, because he is the Son of Man.
28 Don't be surprised! The time will come when all of the dead will hear the voice of the Son of Man, 29 (C) and they will come out of their graves. Everyone who has done good things will rise to life, but everyone who has done evil things will rise and be condemned.
30 I cannot do anything on my own. The Father sent me, and he is the one who told me how to judge. I judge with fairness, because I obey him, and I don't just try to please myself.
Witnesses to Jesus
31 If I speak for myself, there is no way to prove I am telling the truth. 32 But there is someone else who speaks for me, and I know what he says is true. 33 (D) You sent messengers to John, and he told them the truth. 34 I don't depend on what people say about me, but I tell you these things so that you may be saved. 35 (E) John was a lamp that gave a lot of light, and you were glad to enjoy his light for a while.
36 But something more important than John speaks for me. I mean the things that the Father has given me to do! All of these speak for me and prove that the Father sent me.
37 (F) The Father who sent me also speaks for me, but you have never heard his voice or seen him face to face. 38 You have not believed his message, because you refused to have faith in the one he sent.
39 (G) You search the Scriptures, because you think you will find eternal life in them. The Scriptures tell about me, 40 but you refuse to come to me for eternal life.
41 I don't care about human praise, 42 but I do know that none of you love God. 43 I have come with my Father's authority, and you have not welcomed me. But you will welcome people who come on their own. 44 How could you possibly believe? You like to have your friends praise you, and you don't care about praise that the only God can give!
45 Don't think that I will be the one to accuse you to the Father. You have put your hope in Moses, yet he is the very one who will accuse you. 46 Moses wrote about me, and if you had believed Moses, you would have believed me. 47 But if you don't believe what Moses wrote, how can you believe what I say?
