1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
1 DESPUÉS de estas cosas, era un día de fiesta de los Judíos, y subió Jesús á Jerusalem.
2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five 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 these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving 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 down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever 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 certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
5 Y estaba allí un hombre que había treinta y ocho años que estaba enfermo.
6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time [in that case], he saith unto 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 impotent 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.
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 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
8 Dícele Jesús: Levántate, toma tu lecho, y anda.
9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on 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 Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry [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, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
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 unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
12 Preguntáronle entonces: ¿Quién es el que te dijo: Toma tu lecho y anda?
13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being 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 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto 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 told the Jews that it was Jesus, 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 did the Jews persecute Jesus, 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 Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
17 Y Jesús les respondió: Mi Padre hasta ahora obra, y yo obro.
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal 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 Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
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 loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
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 as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth [them]; even so the Son 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 judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
22 Porque el Padre á nadie juzga, mas todo el juicio dió al Hijo;
23 That all [men] should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son 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 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto 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 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
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 himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
26 Porque como el Padre tiene vida en sí mismo, así dió también al Hijo que tuviese vida en sí mismo:
27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
27 Y también le dió poder de hacer juicio, en cuanto es el Hijo del hombre.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
28 No os maravilléis de esto; porque vendrá hora, cuando todos los que están en los sepulcros oirán su voz;
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 damnation.
29 Y los que hicieron bien, saldrán á resurrección de vida; mas los que hicieron mal, á resurrección de condenación.
30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which 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 bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
31 Si yo doy testimonio de mí mismo, mi testimonio no es verdadero.
32 ¶ There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth 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 unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
33 Vosotros enviasteis á Juan, y [él] dió testimonio á la verdad.
34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
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 light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
35 El era antorcha que ardía y alumbraba: y vosotros quisisteis recrearos por un poco á su luz.
36 ¶ But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath 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 himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen 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 ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
38 Ni tenéis su palabra permanente en vosotros; porque al que él envió, á éste vosotros no creéis.
39 ¶ Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify 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 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
40 Y no queréis venir á mí, para que tengáis vida.
41 I receive not honour from men.
41 Gloria de los hombres no recibo.
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
42 Mas yo os conozco, que no tenéis amor de Dios en vosotros.
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.
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 believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only?
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 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even] 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 believed Moses, ye would have believed 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 believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
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." ( Rom. xv.

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.
… unto me, heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee;" and not to abuse Thy goodness for a license to sin, but to remember the words of the Lord, "Behold, thou art made whole; sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee."
