Berean Standard Bible
1Post hæc erat dies festus Judæorum, et ascendit Jesus Jerosolymam.
1Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2Est autem Jerosolymis probatica piscina, quæ cognominatur hebraice Bethsaida, quinque porticus habens.
2Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.
3In his jacebat multitudo magna languentium, cæcorum, claudorum, aridorum, exspectantium aquæ motum.
3On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.
4Angelus autem Domini descendebat secundum tempus in piscinam, et movebatur aqua. Et qui prior descendisset in piscinam post motionem aquæ, sanus fiebat a quacumque detinebatur infirmitate.
no verse 4 in this text
5Erat autem quidam homo ibi triginta et octo annos habens in infirmitate sua.
5One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
6Hunc autem cum vidisset Jesus jacentem, et cognovisset quia jam multum tempus haberet, dicit ei: Vis sanus fieri?
6When Jesus saw him lying there and realized that he had spent a long time in this condition, He asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
7Respondit ei languidus: Domine, hominem non habeo, ut, cum turbata fuerit aqua, mittat me in piscinam: dum venio enim ego, alius ante me descendit.
7“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am on my way, someone else goes in before me.”
8Dicit ei Jesus: Surge, tolle grabatum tuum et ambula.
8Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”
9Et statim sanus factus est homo ille: et sustulit grabatum suum, et ambulabat. Erat autem sabbatum in die illo.
9Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,
10Dicebant ergo Judæi illi qui sanatus fuerat: Sabbatum est, non licet tibi tollere grabatum tuum.
10so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”
11Respondit eis: Qui me sanum fecit, ille mihi dixit: Tolle grabatum tuum et ambula.
11But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”
12Interrogaverunt ergo eum: Quis est ille homo qui dixit tibi: Tolle grabatum tuum et ambula?
12“Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.
13Is autem qui sanus fuerat effectus, nesciebat quis esset. Jesus enim declinavit a turba constituta in loco.
13But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.
14Postea invenit eum Jesus in templo, et dixit illi: Ecce sanus factus es; jam noli peccare, ne deterius tibi aliquid contingat.
14Afterward, Jesus found the man at the temple and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you.”
15Abiit ille homo, et nuntiavit Judæis quia Jesus esset, qui fecit eum sanum.
15And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16Propterea persequebantur Judæi Jesum, quia hæc faciebat in sabbato.
16Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.
17Jesus autem respondit eis: Pater meus usque modo operatur, et ego operor.
17But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”
18Propterea ergo magis quærebant eum Judæi interficere: quia non solum solvebat sabbatum, sed et patrem suum dicebat Deum, æqualem se faciens Deo. Respondit itaque Jesus, et dixit eis:
18Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
19Amen, amen dico vobis: non potest Filius a se facere quidquam, nisi quod viderit Patrem facientem: quæcumque enim ille fecerit, hæc et Filius similiter facit.
19So Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, unless He sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does.
20Pater enim diligit Filium, et omnia demonstrat ei quæ ipse facit: et majora his demonstrabit ei opera, ut vos miremini.
20The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.
21Sicut enim Pater suscitat mortuos, et vivificat, sic et Filius, quos vult, vivificat.
21For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.
22Neque enim Pater judicat quemquam: sed omne judicium dedit Filio,
22Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,
23ut omnes honorificent Filium, sicut honorificant Patrem; qui non honorificat Filium, non honorificat Patrem, qui misit illum.
23so 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.
24Amen, amen dico vobis, quia qui verbum meum audit, et credit ei qui misit me, habet vitam æternam, et in judicium non venit, sed transiit a morte in vitam.
24Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.
25Amen, amen dico vobis, quia venit hora, et nunc est, quando mortui audient vocem Filii Dei: et qui audierint, vivent.
25Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
26Sicut enim Pater habet vitam in semetipso, sic dedit et Filio habere vitam in semetipso:
26For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.
27et potestatem dedit ei judicium facere, quia Filius hominis est.
27And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.
28Nolite mirari hoc, quia venit hora in qua omnes qui in monumentis sunt audient vocem Filii Dei:
28Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice
29et procedent qui bona fecerunt, in resurrectionem vitæ; qui vero mala egerunt, in resurrectionem judicii.
29and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
30Non possum ego a meipso facere quidquam. Sicut audio, judico: et judicium meum justum est, quia non quæro voluntatem meam, sed voluntatem ejus qui misit me.
30I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
31Si ego testimonium perhibeo de meipso, testimonium meum non est verum.
31If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.
32Alius est qui testimonium perhibet de me: et scio quia verum est testimonium, quod perhibet de me.
32There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.
33Vos misistis ad Joannem, et testimonium perhibuit veritati.
33You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34Ego autem non ab homine testimonium accipio: sed hæc dico ut vos salvi sitis.
34Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.
35Ille erat lucerna ardens et lucens: vos autem voluistis ad horam exsultare in luce ejus.
35John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.
36Ego autem habeo testimonium majus Joanne. Opera enim quæ dedit mihi Pater ut perficiam ea: ipsa opera, quæ ego facio, testimonium perhibent de me, quia Pater misit me:
36But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.
37et qui misit me Pater, ipse testimonium perhibuit de me: neque vocem ejus umquam audistis, neque speciem ejus vidistis:
37And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,
38et verbum ejus non habetis in vobis manens: quia quem misit ille, huic vos non creditis.
38nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.
39Scrutamini Scripturas, quia vos putatis in ipsis vitam æternam habere: et illæ sunt quæ testimonium perhibent de me:
39You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,
40et non vultis venire ad me ut vitam habeatis.
40yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.
41Claritatem ab hominibus non accipio.
41I do not accept glory from men,
42Sed cognovi vos, quia dilectionem Dei non habetis in vobis.
42but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.
43Ego veni in nomine Patris mei, et non accipitis me; si alius venerit in nomine suo, illum accipietis.
43I have come in My Father’s name, and you have not received Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will receive him.
44Quomodo vos potestis credere, qui gloriam ab invicem accipitis, et gloriam quæ a solo Deo est, non quæritis?
44How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45Nolite putare quia ego accusaturus sim vos apud Patrem: est qui accusat vos Moyses, in quo vos speratis.
45Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.
46Si enim crederetis Moysi, crederetis forsitan et mihi: de me enim ille scripsit.
46If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.
47Si autem illius litteris non creditis, quomodo verbis meis credetis?
47But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
