1 After these things there was a celebration 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 and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep-[gate] a pool that is called in Hebrew 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 were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, 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 a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.]]
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 there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty-eight years,
5 Y estaba allí un hombre que había treinta y ocho años que estaba enfermo.
6 him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, He says to him, “Do you wish to become whole?”
6 Como Jesús vió á éste echado, y entendió que ya había mucho tiempo, dícele: ¿Quieres ser sano?
7 The ailing man answered Him, “Lord, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another goes 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 says to him, “Rise, take up your pallet, and be walking”;
8 Dícele Jesús: Levántate, toma tu lecho, y anda.
9 and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his pallet, and was walking, and it was a Sabbath on that day,
9 Y luego aquel hombre fué sano, y tomó su lecho, é íbase. Y era sábado aquel día.
10 the Jews then said to him that has been healed, “It is a Sabbath; it is not lawful to you to take up the pallet.”
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 who made me whole—that One said to me, Take up your pallet, and be walking”;
11 Respondióles: El que me sanó, él mismo me dijo: Toma tu lecho y anda.
12 they questioned him, then, “Who is the Man who is saying to you, Take up your bed and be walking?”
12 Preguntáronle entonces: ¿Quién es el que te dijo: Toma tu lecho y anda?
13 But he that was healed had not known who He is, for Jesus moved away, a multitude being in the 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 After these things, Jesus finds him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you have become whole; sin no more, lest something worse may happen to you.”
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 went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole,
15 El se fué, y dió aviso á los Judíos, que Jesús era el que le había sanado.
16 and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill Him, because these things He was doing on a Sabbath.
16 Y por esta causa los Judíos perseguían á Jesús, y procuraban matarle, porque hacía estas cosas en sábado.
17 And Jesus answered them, “My Father works until now, and I work”;
17 Y Jesús les respondió: Mi Padre hasta ahora obra, y yo obro.
18 because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill Him, because not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He also called God His own Father, making Himself equal to 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 Jesus therefore responded and said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son is not able to do anything of Himself, if He may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son does in like manner;
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 cherishes the Son, and shows to Him all things that He Himself does; and greater works than these He will show Him, that you may wonder.
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 raises the dead, and makes alive, so also the Son makes alive whom He wills;
21 Porque como el Padre levanta los muertos, y les da vida, así también el Hijo á los que quiere da vida.
22 for neither does the Father judge anyone, but all the judgment He has given to the Son,
22 Porque el Padre á nadie juzga, mas todo el juicio dió al Hijo;
23 that all may honor the Son according as they honor the Father; he who is not honoring the Son, does not honor the Father who 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 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who is hearing My word, and is believing Him who sent Me, has continuous life, and he does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into 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 Truly, truly, I say to you, [that] there comes an hour, and it now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard will 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 has life in Himself, so He gave also 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 authority He gave Him also to do judgment, because He is Son of Man.
27 Y también le dió poder de hacer juicio, en cuanto es el Hijo del hombre.
28 Do not wonder at this, because there comes an hour in which all those in the tombs will 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 they will come forth; those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced evil things to a resurrection of judgment.
29 Y los que hicieron bien, saldrán á resurrección de vida; mas los que hicieron mal, á resurrección de condenación.
30 I am not able of Myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of the Father who 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 testify concerning Myself, My testimony is not true;
31 Si yo doy testimonio de mí mismo, mi testimonio no es verdadero.
32 there is another who is testifying concerning Me, and I have known that the testimony that He testifies concerning Me is true;
32 Otro es el que da testimonio de mí; y sé que el testimonio que da de mí, es verdadero.
33 you have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
33 Vosotros enviasteis á Juan, y [él] dió testimonio á la verdad.
34 But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that you may be saved;
34 Empero yo no tomo el testimonio de hombre; mas digo esto, para que vosotros seáis salvos.
35 he was the burning and shining lamp, and you willed to be glad, for an hour, 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 the testimony greater than John’s, for the works that the Father gave Me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning Me, that the Father has 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 who sent Me has testified Himself concerning Me; you have neither heard His voice at any time, nor have you seen His appearance;
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 you do not have His word remaining in you, because you do not believe Him whom He sent.
38 Ni tenéis su palabra permanente en vosotros; porque al que él envió, á éste vosotros no creéis.
39 You search the Writings, because you think in them to have continuous life, and these are they that are testifying concerning 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 you do not will to come to Me, that you may have life;
40 Y no queréis venir á mí, para que tengáis vida.
41 I do not receive glory from man,
41 Gloria de los hombres no recibo.
42 but I have known you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.
42 Mas yo os conozco, que no tenéis amor de Dios en vosotros.
43 I have come in the Name of My Father, and you do not receive Me; if another may come in his own name, him you 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 are you able—you—to believe, receiving glory from one another, and the glory that [is] from God alone you do not seek?
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] who is accusing you, Moses—in whom you have hoped;
45 No penséis que yo os tengo de acusar delante del Padre; hay quien os acusa, Moisés, en quien vosotros esperáis.
46 for if you were believing Moses, you would have been believing Me, for he wrote concerning Me;
46 Porque si vosotros creyeseis á Moisés, creeríais á mí; porque de mí escribió él.
47 but if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My sayings?”
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.
