- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 After that, there was a feast of the Iewes, and Iesus went vp to Hierusalem.
1 DESPUÉS de estas cosas, era un día de fiesta de los Judíos, y subió Jesús á Jerusalem.
2 And there is at Hierusalem by the place of the sheepe, a poole called in Ebrew Bethesda, hauing fiue porches:
2 Y hay en Jerusalem á [la puerta] del ganado un estanque, que en hebraico es llamado Bethesda, el cual tiene cinco portales.
3 In the which lay a great multitude of sicke folke, of blinde, halte, and withered, wayting for the mouing of the water.
3 En éstos yacía multitud de enfermos, ciegos, cojos, secos, que estaban esperando el movimiento del agua.
4 For an Angel went downe at a certaine season into the poole, and troubled the water: whosoeuer then first, after the stirring of the water, stepped in, was made whole of whatsoeuer disease he had.
4 Porque un ángel descendía á cierto tiempo al estanque, y revolvía el agua; y el que primero descendía en el estanque después del movimiento del agua, era sano de cualquier enfermedad que tuviese.
5 And a certaine man was there, which had bene diseased eight and thirtie yeeres.
5 Y estaba allí un hombre que había treinta y ocho años que estaba enfermo.
6 When Iesus sawe him lie, and knew that he nowe long time had bene diseased, he saide vnto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
6 Como Jesús vió á éste echado, y entendió que ya había mucho tiempo, dícele: ¿Quieres ser sano?
7 The sicke man answered him, Sir, I haue no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the poole: but while I am comming, another steppeth downe before me.
7 Señor, le respondió el enfermo, no tengo hombre que me meta en el estanque cuando el agua fuere revuelta; porque entre tanto que yo vengo, otro antes de mí ha descendido.
8 Iesus said vnto him, Rise: take vp thy bed, and walke.
8 Dícele Jesús: Levántate, toma tu lecho, y anda.
9 And immediatly the man was made whole, and tooke vp his bed, and walked: and the same day was the Sabbath.
9 Y luego aquel hombre fué sano, y tomó su lecho, é íbase. Y era sábado aquel día.
10 The Iewes therefore said to him that was made whole, It is the Sabbath day: it is not lawfull for thee to cary thy bed.
10 Entonces los Judíos decían á aquel que había sido sanado: Sábado es: no te es lícito llevar tu lecho.
11 He answered them, He that made me whole, he said vnto me, Take vp thy bed, and walke.
11 Respondióles: El que me sanó, él mismo me dijo: Toma tu lecho y anda.
12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said vnto thee, Take vp thy bed and walke?
12 Preguntáronle entonces: ¿Quién es el que te dijo: Toma tu lecho y anda?
13 And he that was healed, knewe not who it was: for Iesus had conueied himselfe away from the multitude that was in that place.
13 Y el que había sido sanado, no sabía quién fuese; porque Jesús se había apartado de la gente que estaba en aquel lugar.
14 And after that, Iesus founde him in the Temple, and said vnto him, Beholde, thou art made whole: sinne no more, lest a worse thing come vnto thee.
14 Después le halló Jesús en el templo, y díjole: He aquí, has sido sanado; no peques más, porque no te venga alguna cosa peor.
15 The man departed and tolde the Iewes that it was Iesus, which had made him whole.
15 El se fué, y dió aviso á los Judíos, que Jesús era el que le había sanado.
16 And therefore the Iewes did persecute Iesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day.
16 Y por esta causa los Judíos perseguían á Jesús, y procuraban matarle, porque hacía estas cosas en sábado.
17 But Iesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I worke.
17 Y Jesús les respondió: Mi Padre hasta ahora obra, y yo obro.
18 Therefore the Iewes sought the more to kill him: not onely because he had broken the Sabbath: but said also that God was his Father, and made himselfe equall with God.
18 Entonces, por tanto, más procuraban los Judíos matarle, porque no sólo quebrantaba el sábado, sino que también á su Padre llamaba Dios, haciéndose igual á Dios.
19 Then answered Iesus, and said vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, The Sonne can doe nothing of himselfe, saue that he seeth the Father doe: for whatsoeuer things he doth, the same things doeth the Sonne in like maner.
19 Respondió entonces Jesús, y díjoles: De cierto, de cierto os digo: No puede el Hijo hacer nada de sí mismo, sino lo que viere hacer al Padre: porque todo lo que él hace, esto también hace el Hijo juntamente.
20 For the Father loueth the Sonne, and sheweth him all things, whatsoeuer he himselfe doeth, and he will shewe him greater workes then these, that ye should marueile.
20 Porque el Padre ama al Hijo, y le muestra todas las cosas que él hace; y mayores obras que éstas le mostrará, de suerte que vosotros os maravilléis.
21 For likewise as the Father rayseth vp the dead, and quickeneth them, so the Sonne quickeneth whom he will.
21 Porque como el Padre levanta los muertos, y les da vida, así también el Hijo á los que quiere da vida.
22 For the Father iudgeth no man, but hath committed all iudgement vnto the Sonne,
22 Porque el Padre á nadie juzga, mas todo el juicio dió al Hijo;
23 Because that all men shoulde honour the Sonne, as they honour the Father: he that honoureth not the Sonne, the same honoureth not the Father, which hath sent him.
23 Para que todos honren al Hijo como honran al Padre. El que no honra al Hijo, no honra al Padre que le envió.
24 Verely, verely I say vnto you, he that heareth my worde, and beleeueth him that sent me, hath euerlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but hath passed from death vnto life.
24 De cierto, de cierto os digo: El que oye mi palabra, y cree al que me ha enviado, tiene vida eterna; y no vendrá á condenación, mas pasó de muerte á vida.
25 Verely, verely I say vnto you, the houre shall come, and now is, when the dead shall heare the voyce of the Sonne of God: and they that heare it, shall liue.
25 De cierto, de cierto os digo: Vendrá hora, y ahora es, cuando los muertos oirán la voz del Hijo de Dios: y los que oyeren vivirán.
26 For as the Father hath life in himselfe, so likewise hath he giuen to the Sonne to haue life in himselfe,
26 Porque como el Padre tiene vida en sí mismo, así dió también al Hijo que tuviese vida en sí mismo:
27 And hath giuen him power also to execute iudgement, in that he is the Sonne of man.
27 Y también le dió poder de hacer juicio, en cuanto es el Hijo del hombre.
28 Marueile not at this: for the houre shall come, in the which all that are in the graues, shall heare his voyce.
28 No os maravilléis de esto; porque vendrá hora, cuando todos los que están en los sepulcros oirán su voz;
29 And they shall come foorth, that haue done good, vnto ye resurrection of life: but they that haue done euil, vnto the resurrection of condemnation.
29 Y los que hicieron bien, saldrán á resurrección de vida; mas los que hicieron mal, á resurrección de condenación.
30 I can doe nothing of mine owne selfe: as I heare, I iudge: and my iudgement is iust, because I seeke not mine owne will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me.
30 No puedo yo de mí mismo hacer nada: como oigo, juzgo: y mi juicio es justo; porque no busco mi voluntad, mas la voluntad del que me envió, del Padre.
31 If I should beare witnesse of my selfe, my witnesse were not true.
31 Si yo doy testimonio de mí mismo, mi testimonio no es verdadero.
32 There is another that beareth witnesse of me, and I know that the witnesse, which he beareth of me, is true.
32 Otro es el que da testimonio de mí; y sé que el testimonio que da de mí, es verdadero.
33 Ye sent vnto Iohn, and he bare witnesse vnto the trueth.
33 Vosotros enviasteis á Juan, y [él] dió testimonio á la verdad.
34 But I receiue not the record of man: neuerthelesse these things I say, that ye might be saued.
34 Empero yo no tomo el testimonio de hombre; mas digo esto, para que vosotros seáis salvos.
35 He was a burning, and a shining candle: and ye would for a season haue reioyced in his light.
35 El era antorcha que ardía y alumbraba: y vosotros quisisteis recrearos por un poco á su luz.
36 But I haue greater witnesse then the witnesse of Iohn: for the workes which the Father hath giuen me to finish, the same workes that I doe, beare witnesse of me, that the Father sent me.
36 Mas yo tengo mayor testimonio que [el] de Juan: porque las obras que el Padre me dió que cumpliese, las mismas obras que yo hago, dan testimonio de mí, que el Padre me haya enviado.
37 And the Father himselfe, which hath sent me, beareth witnesse of me. Ye haue not heard his voyce at any time, neither haue ye seene his shape.
37 Y el que me envió, el Padre, él ha dado testimonio de mí. Ni nunca habéis oído su voz, ni habéis visto su parecer.
38 And his worde haue you not abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye beleeued not.
38 Ni tenéis su palabra permanente en vosotros; porque al que él envió, á éste vosotros no creéis.
39 Searche the Scriptures: for in them ye thinke to haue eternall life, and they are they which testifie of me.
39 Escudriñad las Escrituras, porque á vosotros os parece que en ellas tenéis la vida eterna; y ellas son las que dan testimonio de mí.
40 But ye will not come to me, that ye might haue life.
40 Y no queréis venir á mí, para que tengáis vida.
41 I receiue not the prayse of men.
41 Gloria de los hombres no recibo.
42 But I know you, that ye haue not the loue of God in you.
42 Mas yo os conozco, que no tenéis amor de Dios en vosotros.
43 I am come in my Fathers Name, and ye receiue me not: if another shall come in his owne name, him will ye receiue.
43 Yo he venido en nombre de mi Padre, y no me recibís: si otro viniere en su propio nombre, á aquél recibiréis.
44 How can ye beleeue, which receiue honour one of another, and seeke not the honour that commeth of God alone?
44 ¿Cómo podéis vosotros creer, pues tomáis la gloria los unos de los otros, y no buscáis la gloria que de sólo Dios viene?
45 Doe not thinke that I will accuse you to my Father: there is one that accuseth you, euen Moses, in whom ye trust.
45 No penséis que yo os tengo de acusar delante del Padre; hay quien os acusa, Moisés, en quien vosotros esperáis.
46 For had ye beleeued Moses, ye would haue beleeued me: for he wrote of me.
46 Porque si vosotros creyeseis á Moisés, creeríais á mí; porque de mí escribió él.
47 But if ye beleeue not his writings, how shall ye beleeue my wordes?
47 Y si á sus escritos no creéis, ¿cómo creeréis á mis palabras?

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
The lesson of the Gospel has just sounded in our ears, and made us intent to know what is the meaning of what has been read. This, I suppose, is looked for from me, this I promise, by the Lord's assistance, to explain as well as I can.

John the evangelist, among his fellows and companions the other evangelists, received this special and peculiar gift from the Lord (on whose breast he reclined at the feast, hereby to signify that he was drinking deeper secrets from His inmost heart), to utter those things concerning the Son of God which may perhaps rouse the attentive minds of the little …

Great is the profit of the divine Scriptures, and all-sufficient is the aid which comes from them. And Paul declared this when he said, "Whatsoever things were written aforetime, were written aforetime for our admonition upon whom the ends of the world are come, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope."

But they cannot maintain this; otherwise their primary and original Ogdoad will be included in the number of Æons who suffered together. Moreover, there was also a certain other person healed by the Lord, after he had suffered for eight-and-thirty years: they ought therefore to affirm that the Æon who occupies the thirty-eighth place suffered.
