5:1 这事以后，到了犹太的一个节期。耶稣就上耶路撒冷去。

After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

5:2 在耶路撒冷，靠近羊门，有一个池子，希伯来话叫作毕士大，旁边有五个廊子。

Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

 

5:3 里面躺着瞎眼的，瘸腿的，血气枯乾的，许多病人。（有古卷在此有等候水动

In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

 

5:4 因为有天使按时下池搅动那水，水动之后，谁先下去，无论什么病，就痊愈了）。

For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

 

5:5 在那里有一个人，病了三十八年。

And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

 

5:6 耶稣看见他躺着，知道他病了许久，就问他说，你要痊愈吗。

When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

 

5:7 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。

The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

 

5:8 耶稣对他说，起来，拿你的褥子走吧。

Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

 

5:9 那人立刻痊愈，就拿起褥子走了。

And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

 

5:10 那天是安息日，所以犹太人对那医好的人说，今天是安息日，你拿褥子是不可以的。

The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

 

5:11 他却回答说，那使我痊愈的，对我说，拿你的褥子走吧。

He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

 

5:12 他们问他说，对你说拿褥子走的，是什么人。

Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

 

5:13 那医好的人不知道是谁。因为那里的人多，耶稣已经躲开了。

And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

 

5:14 后来耶稣在殿里遇见他，对他说，你已经痊愈了。不要再犯罪。恐怕你遭遇的更加利害。

Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

 

5:15 那人就去告诉犹太人，使他痊愈的是耶稣。

The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

 

5:16 所以犹太人逼迫耶稣，因为他在安息日作了这事。

And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

 

5:17 耶稣就对他们说，我父作事到如今，我也作事。

But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

 

5:18 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，将自己和神当作平等。

Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

 

5:19 耶稣对他们说，我实实在在的告诉你们，子凭着自己不能作什么，惟有看见父所作的，子才能作。父所作的事，子也照样作。

Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

 

5:20 爱子，将自己所作的一切事指给他看。还要将比这更大的事指给他看，叫你们希奇。

For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

 

5:21 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。

For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

 

5:22 父不审判什么人，乃将审判的事全交与子。

For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

 

5:23 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。

That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

 

5:24 我实实在在的告诉你们，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。

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

 

5:25 我实实在在的告诉你们，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。

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

 

5:26 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。

For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

 

5:27 并且因为他是人子，就赐给他行审判的权柄。

And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

 

5:28 你们不要把这事看作希奇。时候要到，凡在坟墓里的，都要听见他的声音，就出来。

Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

 

5:29 行善的复活得生，作恶的复活定罪。

And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

 

5:30 我凭着自己不能作什么。我怎吗听见，就怎吗审判。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。

I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

 

5:31 我若为自己作见证，我的见证就不真。

If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

 

5:32 另有一位给我作见证。我也知道他给我作的见证是真的。

There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

 

5:33 你们曾差人到约翰那里，他为真理作过见证。

Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

 

5:34 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。

But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

 

5:35 约翰是点着的明灯。你们情愿暂时喜欢他的光。

He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

 

5:36 但我有比约翰更大的见证。因为父交给我要我成就的事，就是我所作的事，这便见证我是父所差来的。

But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

 

5:37 差我来的父，也为我作过见证。你们从来没有听见他的声音，也没有看见他的形像。

And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

 

5:38 你们并没有他的道存在心里。因为他所差来的，你们不信。

And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

 

5:39 你们查考圣经。（或作应当查考圣经）因你们以为内中有永生。给我作见证的就是这经。

Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

 

5:40 然而你们不肯到我这里来得生命。

And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

 

5:41 我不受从人来的荣耀。

I receive not honour from men.

 

5:42 但我知道你们心里，没有神的爱。

But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

 

5:43 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。

I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

 

5:44 你们要互相受荣耀，却不求从独一之神来的荣耀，怎能信我呢。

How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

 

5:45 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。

Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

 

5:46 你们如果信摩西，也必信我。因为他书上有指着我写的话。

For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.

5:47 你们若不信他的书，怎能信我的话呢。

But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
