John 5

1 Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

1 这事以后，犹太人的一个节期到了，耶稣便上了耶路撒冷。

2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.

2 耶路撒冷靠近羊门的地方有一个水池，希伯来话叫毕士大，池边有五条走廊，

3 On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.

3 里面躺着许多瞎眼的、瘸腿的、瘫痪的等病人。

4

4 他们都在等候主的天使偶尔来搅动池水。水动时，第一个下去的，无论患了什么病都会痊愈。

5 One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

5 那里有一个人病了三十八年。

6 When 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?”

6 耶稣看他躺着，知道他病了很久，就问他：“你想痊愈吗？”

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.”

7 那人回答说：“先生，水动的时候，没有人把我放进池子里，我要下去的时候，别人总是先我一步。”

8 Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”

8 耶稣对他说：“起来，拿上你的垫子走吧！”

9 Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,

9 那人立刻痊愈了，拿起垫子开始行走。那天是安息日，

10 so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”

10 犹太人便对那人说：“今天是安息日，你不可拿着垫子走路。”

11 But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”

11 他说：“那位医治我的叫我拿起垫子走。”

12 “Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.

12 他们问他：“叫你拿起垫子走的人是谁？”

13 But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.

13 那人不知道是谁，因为那里人多，耶稣已经躲开了。

14 Afterward, 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.”

14 后来，耶稣在圣殿里遇见他，对他说：“你已经完全好了，不要再犯罪了，免得你遭遇更不幸的事。”

15 And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

15 那人便去告诉犹太人，医治他的是耶稣。

16 Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.

16 因为耶稣在安息日给人治病，犹太人便开始迫害祂。

17 But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”

17 耶稣对他们说：“我父至今仍在做工，我也在做工。”

18 Because 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.

18 犹太人听了，更想杀祂，因祂不但干犯安息日，还称上帝为父，把自己看作与上帝平等。

19 So 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.

19 耶稣说：“我实实在在地告诉你们，子凭自己什么都不能做，唯有看见父做什么，子才做什么。无论父做什么，子也照样做。

20 The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.

20 父因为爱子，便把自己的一切作为给祂看，而且还要把比这些更大的作为给祂看，叫你们惊奇。

21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.

21 父如何使死人复活并赐生命给他们，子也照样想赐生命给谁，就赐给谁。

22 Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,

22 父不审判人，祂将审判的事全交给子，

23 so 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.

23 叫人尊敬子如同尊敬父。不尊敬子的，就是不尊敬差子来的父。

24 Truly, 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.

24 “我实实在在地告诉你们，谁听从我的话，又信差我来的那位，谁就有永生，不被定罪，已经出死入生了。

25 Truly, 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.

25 我实实在在地告诉你们，时候快到了，现在就是，死人将听见上帝儿子的声音，听见的将活过来。

26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.

26 因为正如父自己是生命的源头，祂也同样让子作生命的源头，

27 And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

27 又把审判的权柄交给祂，因为祂是人子。

28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice

28 你们不要惊奇，时候将到，一切在坟墓里的死人都要听见上帝儿子的声音，

29 and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

29 他们都要从坟墓里出来。行善的人复活后得永生，作恶的人复活后被定罪。

30 I 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.

30 “我凭自己不能做什么，我按从父听到的指示审判，我的审判是公平的；因为我不是按自己的旨意行，而是按差我来者的旨意行。

31 If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.

31 “如果我为自己做见证，我的见证是无效的。

32 There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.

32 然而，另有一位给我做见证，我知道他为我做的见证是真实的。

33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

33 你们曾派人到约翰那里，他为真理做过见证。

34 Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.

34 其实我并不需要人的见证，我之所以提起这些事是为了使你们得救。

35 John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.

35 约翰是一盏点亮的明灯，你们情愿在他的光中欢乐一时。

36 But 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.

36 但是我有比约翰更大的见证，因为父交待我去完成的工作，就是我现在所做的工作，证明我是父差来的。

37 And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,

37 差我来的父曾亲自为我做过见证。你们从未听过祂的声音，从未见过祂，

38 nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.

38 心里也没有祂的道，因为你们不信祂差来的那位。

39 You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,

39 你们研读圣经，以为从圣经中可以得到永生。其实为我做见证的正是这圣经，

40 yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.

40 但你们却不肯到我这里来得生命。

41 I do not accept glory from men,

41 “我不接受人给的荣耀，

42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.

42 我知道你们没有爱上帝的心。

43 I 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.

43 我奉我父的名来，你们不接受我；若有人奉自己的名来，你们却接受他。

44 How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

44 你们喜欢互相恭维，却不追求从独一上帝来的荣耀，怎能信我呢？

45 Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.

45 不要以为我会在父面前控告你们，控告你们的是你们所仰赖的摩西。

46 If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.

46 你们若信摩西，就会信我，因为他的书里也提到我。

47 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”

47 你们如果连他写的都不信，又怎么会信我的话呢？”
