1 这些事以后, 到了犹太人的一个节期, 耶稣就上耶路撒冷去。

2 在耶路撒冷靠近羊门有一个水池, 希伯来话叫作毕士大, 池边有五处走廊。

3 在那里躺着许多病人, 有瞎眼的、瘸腿的和瘫痪的。

4 (有些抄本有以下一段: "他们等候水动, 4因为有主的使者按时下去搅动池水, 水动之后, 谁先下去, 无论什么病, 必得痊愈。")

5 那里有一个人, 病了三十八年。

6 耶稣看见他躺着, 知道他病了很久, 就问他: "你要痊愈吗?"

7 病人回答: "先生, 水动的时候, 没有人把我放在池里; 自己想去的时候, 总是给别人抢先。"

8 耶稣对他说: "起来, 拿着你的褥子走吧。"

9 那人立刻痊愈, 就拿起褥子走了。那天正是安息日。

10 因此犹太人对那医好了的人说: "今天是安息日, 你拿着褥子是不可以的。"

11 他却回答: "那使我痊愈的对我说: ‘拿起你的褥子走吧’。"

12 他们就问: "那对你说‘拿起来走吧’的是谁?"

13 那医好了的人不知道他是谁, 因为那里人很多, 耶稣已经避开了。

14 后来, 耶稣在殿里遇见那人, 对他说: "你已经痊愈了, 不可再犯罪, 免得招来更大的祸患。"

15 那人就去告诉犹太人, 使他痊愈的就是耶稣。

16 从此犹太人就迫害耶稣, 因为他常常在安息日作这些事。

17 耶稣却对他们说: "我父作工直到现在, 我也作工。"

18 因此犹太人就更想杀耶稣, 因为他不但破坏安息日, 而且称 神为自己的父, 把自己与 神当作平等。

19 耶稣又对他们说: "我实实在在告诉你们, 子靠着自己不能作什么, 只能作他看见父所作的; 因为父所作的事, 子也照样作。

20 父爱子, 把自己所作的一切指示给他看, 还要把比这些更大的事指示给他看, 使你们惊奇。

21 父怎样叫死人复活, 使他们得生命, 子也照样随自己的意思使人得生命。

22 父不审判人, 却已经把审判的权柄完全交给子,

23 使所有的人尊敬子好像尊敬父一样。不尊敬子的, 就是不尊敬那差他来的父。

24 我实实在在告诉你们, 那听见我的话又信那差我来的, 就有永生, 不被定罪, 而是已经出死入生了。

25 我实实在在告诉你们, 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。

26 就如父是生命的源头, 照样他也使子成为生命的源头,

27 并且把执行审判的权柄赐给他, 因为他是人子。

28 你们不要把这事看作希奇, 因为时候将到, 那时所有在坟墓里的都要听见他的声音,

29 并且都要出来; 行善的复活得生命, 作恶的复活被定罪。

30 "我靠着自己不能作什么, 我怎样听见, 就怎样审判。我的审判是公义的, 因为我不寻求自己的意思, 只求那差我来者的旨意。

31 我若为自己作证, 我的见证就不真。

32 然而另有一位为我作证的, 我知道他为我作的见证是真的。

33 你们曾经派人到约翰那里, 他为真理作过见证。

34 我不接受从人而来的见证, 但我说这些事, 是要你们得救。

35 约翰是一盏点亮的灯, 你们情愿暂时在他的光中欢乐。

36 但我有比约翰更大的见证, 因为父赐给我要我完成的工作, 就是我所要作的, 证明我是父所差来的。

37 差我来的父亲自为我作了见证。他的声音, 你们从没有听过; 他的容貌, 你们从没有见过;

38 他的道, 你们也不放在心里, 因为你们不信他所差来的那一位。

39 你们研究圣经, 因为你们认为圣经中有永生, 其实为我作证的就是这圣经,

40 然而你们却不肯到我这里来得生命。

41 "我不接受从人而来的称赞;

42 我知道你们心里没有 神的爱。

43 我奉我父的名而来, 你们不接待我; 如果有别人以自己的名义而来, 你们倒接待他。

44 你们彼此接受称赞, 却不寻求从独一的 神而来的称赞, 怎么能信呢?

45 不要以为我要向父控告你们, 有一位控告你们的, 就是你们所仰赖的摩西。

46 你们若信摩西, 也必信我, 因为他所写的书曾论及我。

47 你们若不信他所写的, 怎能信我的话呢?"

1 After these things 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, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, withered. 4 5 And a certain man was there, who had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity. 6 When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wouldest thou be made whole? 7 The sick 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. 8 Jesus saith unto him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk. 9 And straightway the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked.

Now it was the sabbath on that day. 10 So the Jews said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed. 11 But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. 12 They asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? 13 But he that was healed knew not who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place. 14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee. 15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole. 16 And for this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh even until now, and I work. 18 For this cause therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only brake the sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

19 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner. 20 For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and greater works than these will he show him, that ye may marvel. 21 For as the Father raiseth the dead and giveth them life, even so the Son also giveth life to whom he will. 22 For neither doth the Father judge any man, but he hath given all judgment unto the Son; 23 that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father that sent him. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment, but hath passed out of death into life. 25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live. 26 For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself: 27 and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice, 29 and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.

30 I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. 32 It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. 33 Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness unto the truth. 34 But the witness which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved. 35 He was the lamp that burneth and shineth; and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light. 36 But the witness which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 37 And the Father that sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form. 38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not. 39 Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me; 40 and ye will not come to me, that ye may have life. 41 I receive not glory from men. 42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in yourselves. 43 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. 44 How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and the glory that cometh from the only God ye seek not? 45 Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, on whom ye have set your hope. 46 For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me. 47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
