Κατα Ιωαννην 5
1 μετα ταυτα ην η εορτη των ιουδαιων και ανεβη ο ιησους εις ιεροσολυμα
After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 εστιν δε εν τοις ιεροσολυμοις επι τη προβατικη κολυμβηθρα η επιλεγομενη εβραιστι βηθεσδα πεντε στοας εχουσα
Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches.
3 εν ταυταις κατεκειτο πληθος πολυ των ασθενουντων τυφλων χωλων ξηρων εκδεχομενων την του υδατος κινησιν
In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralysed, waiting for the moving of the water;
4 αγγελος γαρ κατα καιρον κατεβαινεν εν τη κολυμβηθρα και εταρασσετο το υδωρ ο ουν πρωτος εμβας μετα την ταραχην του υδατος υγιης εγινετο ω δηποτε κατειχετο νοσηματι
for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.
5 ην δε τις ανθρωπος εκει τριακοντα και οκτω ετη εχων εν τη ασθενεια αυτου
A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
6 τουτον ιδων ο ιησους κατακειμενον και γνους οτι πολυν ηδη χρονον εχει λεγει αυτω θελεις υγιης γενεσθαι
When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to be made well?”
7 απεκριθη αυτω ο ασθενων κυριε ανθρωπον ουκ εχω ινα οταν ταραχθη το υδωρ βαλη με εις την κολυμβηθραν εν ω δε ερχομαι εγω αλλος προ εμου καταβαινει
The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.”
8 λεγει αυτω ο ιησους εγειρε αρον τον κραβαττον σου και περιπατει
Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”
9 και ευθεως εγενετο υγιης ο ανθρωπος και ηρεν τον κραβαττον αυτου και περιεπατει ην δε σαββατον εν εκεινη τη ημερα
Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.
10 ελεγον ουν οι ιουδαιοι τω τεθεραπευμενω σαββατον εστιν ουκ εξεστιν σοι αραι τον κραβαττον
So the Jews said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”
11 απεκριθη αυτοις ο ποιησας με υγιη εκεινος μοι ειπεν αρον τον κραβαττον σου και περιπατει
He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”
12 ηρωτησαν ουν αυτον τις εστιν ο ανθρωπος ο ειπων σοι αρον τον κραβαττον σου και περιπατει
Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”
13 ο δε ιαθεις ουκ ηδει τις εστιν ο γαρ ιησους εξενευσεν οχλου οντος εν τω τοπω
But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.
14 μετα ταυτα ευρισκει αυτον ο ιησους εν τω ιερω και ειπεν αυτω ιδε υγιης γεγονας μηκετι αμαρτανε ινα μη χειρον σοι τι γενηται
Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”
15 απηλθεν ο ανθρωπος και ανηγγειλεν τοις ιουδαιοις οτι ιησους εστιν ο ποιησας αυτον υγιη
The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 και δια τουτο εδιωκον τον ιησουν οι ιουδαιοι και εζητουν αυτον αποκτειναι οτι ταυτα εποιει εν σαββατω
For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
17 ο δε ιησους απεκρινατο αυτοις ο πατηρ μου εως αρτι εργαζεται καγω εργαζομαι
But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”
18 δια τουτο ουν μαλλον εζητουν αυτον οι ιουδαιοι αποκτειναι οτι ου μονον ελυεν το σαββατον αλλα και πατερα ιδιον ελεγεν τον θεον ισον εαυτον ποιων τω θεω
For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
19 απεκρινατο ουν ο ιησους και ειπεν αυτοις αμην αμην λεγω υμιν ου δυναται ο υιος ποιειν αφ εαυτου ουδεν εαν μη τι βλεπη τον πατερα ποιουντα α γαρ αν εκεινος ποιη ταυτα και ο υιος ομοιως ποιει
Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.
20 ο γαρ πατηρ φιλει τον υιον και παντα δεικνυσιν αυτω α αυτος ποιει και μειζονα τουτων δειξει αυτω εργα ινα υμεις θαυμαζητε
For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
21 ωσπερ γαρ ο πατηρ εγειρει τους νεκρους και ζωοποιει ουτως και ο υιος ους θελει ζωοποιει
For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.
22 ουδε γαρ ο πατηρ κρινει ουδενα αλλα την κρισιν πασαν δεδωκεν τω υιω
For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgement to the Son,
23 ινα παντες τιμωσιν τον υιον καθως τιμωσιν τον πατερα ο μη τιμων τον υιον ου τιμα τον πατερα τον πεμψαντα αυτον
that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who doesn’t honour the Son doesn’t honour the Father who sent him.
24 αμην αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ο τον λογον μου ακουων και πιστευων τω πεμψαντι με εχει ζωην αιωνιον και εις κρισιν ουκ ερχεται αλλα μεταβεβηκεν εκ του θανατου εις την ζωην (aiōnios g166)
“Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgement, but has passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)
25 αμην αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ερχεται ωρα και νυν εστιν οτε οι νεκροι ακουσονται της φωνης του υιου του θεου και οι ακουσαντες ζησονται
Most certainly I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God’s voice; and those who hear will live.
26 ωσπερ γαρ ο πατηρ εχει ζωην εν εαυτω ουτως εδωκεν και τω υιω ζωην εχειν εν εαυτω
For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
27 και εξουσιαν εδωκεν αυτω και κρισιν ποιειν οτι υιος ανθρωπου εστιν
He also gave him authority to execute judgement, because he is a son of man.
28 μη θαυμαζετε τουτο οτι ερχεται ωρα εν η παντες οι εν τοις μνημειοις ακουσονται της φωνης αυτου
Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
29 και εκπορευσονται οι τα αγαθα ποιησαντες εις αναστασιν ζωης οι δε τα φαυλα πραξαντες εις αναστασιν κρισεως
and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgement.
30 ου δυναμαι εγω ποιειν απ εμαυτου ουδεν καθως ακουω κρινω και η κρισις η εμη δικαια εστιν οτι ου ζητω το θελημα το εμον αλλα το θελημα του πεμψαντος με πατρος
I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgement is righteous, because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.
31 εαν εγω μαρτυρω περι εμαυτου η μαρτυρια μου ουκ εστιν αληθης
“If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
32 αλλος εστιν ο μαρτυρων περι εμου και οιδα οτι αληθης εστιν η μαρτυρια ην μαρτυρει περι εμου
It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
33 υμεις απεσταλκατε προς ιωαννην και μεμαρτυρηκεν τη αληθεια
You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34 εγω δε ου παρα ανθρωπου την μαρτυριαν λαμβανω αλλα ταυτα λεγω ινα υμεις σωθητε
But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.
35 εκεινος ην ο λυχνος ο καιομενος και φαινων υμεις δε ηθελησατε αγαλλιαθηναι προς ωραν εν τω φωτι αυτου
He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
36 εγω δε εχω την μαρτυριαν μειζω του ιωαννου τα γαρ εργα α εδωκεν μοι ο πατηρ ινα τελειωσω αυτα αυτα τα εργα α εγω ποιω μαρτυρει περι εμου οτι ο πατηρ με απεσταλκεν
But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.
37 και ο πεμψας με πατηρ αυτος μεμαρτυρηκεν περι εμου ουτε φωνην αυτου ακηκοατε πωποτε ουτε ειδος αυτου εωρακατε
The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
38 και τον λογον αυτου ουκ εχετε μενοντα εν υμιν οτι ον απεστειλεν εκεινος τουτω υμεις ου πιστευετε
You don’t have his word living in you, because you don’t believe him whom he sent.
39 ερευνατε τας γραφας οτι υμεις δοκειτε εν αυταις ζωην αιωνιον εχειν και εκειναι εισιν αι μαρτυρουσαι περι εμου (aiōnios g166)
“You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me. (aiōnios g166)
40 και ου θελετε ελθειν προς με ινα ζωην εχητε
Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.
41 δοξαν παρα ανθρωπων ου λαμβανω
I don’t receive glory from men.
42 αλλ εγνωκα υμας οτι την αγαπην του θεου ουκ εχετε εν εαυτοις
But I know you, that you don’t have God’s love in yourselves.
43 εγω εληλυθα εν τω ονοματι του πατρος μου και ου λαμβανετε με εαν αλλος ελθη εν τω ονοματι τω ιδιω εκεινον ληψεσθε
I have come in my Father’s name, and you don’t receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
44 πως δυνασθε υμεις πιστευσαι δοξαν παρα αλληλων λαμβανοντες και την δοξαν την παρα του μονου θεου ου ζητειτε
How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45 μη δοκειτε οτι εγω κατηγορησω υμων προς τον πατερα εστιν ο κατηγορων υμων μωυσης εις ον υμεις ηλπικατε
“Don’t think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.
46 ει γαρ επιστευετε μωυσει επιστευετε αν εμοι περι γαρ εμου εκεινος εγραψεν
For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
47 ει δε τοις εκεινου γραμμασιν ου πιστευετε πως τοις εμοις ρημασιν πιστευσετε
But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
