PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Algún tiempo después, Jesús regresó a Jerusalén, donde se celebraba una fiesta de los judíos.
1 After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
1 Μετὰ ταῦτα ἦν ἡ ἑορτὴ τῶν Ἰουδαίων, καὶ ἀνέβη ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα.
2 Allí en Jerusalén, junto a la puerta de las Ovejas, había un estanque rodeado de cinco pórticos. El estanque, se llamaba en arameo, Betzatá.
2 Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches.
2 ἔστι δὲ ἐν τοῖς Ἱεροσολύμοις ἐπὶ τῇ προβατικῇ κολυμβήθρα, ἡ ἐπιλεγομένη Ἑβραϊστὶ Βηθεσδά, πέντε στοὰς ἔχουσα.
3 En los pórticos estaban acostados muchos enfermos, ciegos, cojos y paralíticos que esperaban que se moviera el agua.
3 In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;
3 ἐν ταύταις κατέκειτο πλῆθος πολὺ τῶν ἀσθενούντων, τυφλῶν, χωλῶν, ξηρῶν, ἐκδεχομένων τὴν τοῦ ὕδατος κίνησιν.
4 De cuando en cuando un ángel del Señor bajaba al estanque y movía el agua. El primero que se metía al agua después de que había sido removida, quedaba sano de cualquier enfermedad que tuviera.
4 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.
4 ἄγγελος γὰρ κατὰ καιρὸν κατέβαινεν ἐν τῇ κολυμβήθρᾳ, καὶ ἐταράσσετο τὸ ὕδωρ· ὁ οὖν πρῶτος ἐμβὰς μετὰ τὴν ταραχὴν τοῦ ὕδατος ὑγιὴς ἐγίνετο ᾧ δήποτε κατείχετο νοσήματι.
5 Entre ellos había un hombre inválido que llevaba enfermo treinta y ocho años.
5 A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
5 ἦν δέ τις ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖ τριάκοντα καὶ ὀκτὼ ἔτη ἔχων ἐν τῇ ἀσθενείᾳ αὐτοῦ.
6 Cuando Jesús lo vio allí acostado y supo que tenía mucho tiempo de estar enfermo, le preguntó: ―¿Quieres curarte?
6 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?”
6 τοῦτον ἰδὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς κατακείμενον, καὶ γνοὺς ὅτι πολὺν ἤδη χρόνον ἔχει, λέγει αὐτῷ· θέλεις ὑγιὴς γενέσθαι;
7 El enfermo respondió: ―Señor, no tengo a nadie que me meta en el estanque mientras se remueve el agua. Cada vez que trato de hacerlo otro se me adelanta.
7 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.”
7 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ ὁ ἀσθενῶν· Κύριε, ἄνθρωπον οὐκ ἔχω, ἵνα ὅταν ταραχθῇ τὸ ὕδωρ, βάλῃ με εἰς τὴν κολυμβήθραν· ἐν ᾧ δὲ ἔρχομαι ἐγώ, ἄλλος πρὸ ἐμοῦ καταβαίνει.
8 Jesús le dijo: ―Levántate, recoge tu camilla y anda.
8 Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”
8 λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἔγειρε, ἆρον τὸν κράβαττόν σου καὶ περιπάτει.
9 En ese mismo momento el hombre quedó sano. De inmediato tomó su camilla y comenzó a andar. Y ese día era sábado.
9 Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.
9 καὶ εὐθέως ἐγένετο ὑγιὴς ὁ ἄνθρωπος, καὶ ἦρε τὸν κράβαττον αὐτοῦ καὶ περιεπάτει. ἦν δὲ σάββατον ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ.
10 Por eso los judíos le dijeron al hombre que había sido sanado: ―Hoy es sábado, y no está permitido que andes cargando tu camilla.
10 So the Jews said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”
10 ἔλεγον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι τῷ τεθεραπευμένῳ· σάββατόν ἐστιν· οὐκ ἔξεστί σοι ἆραι τὸν κράβαττον.
11 Él les respondió: ―El que me sanó me dijo: “Recoge tu camilla y anda”.
11 He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’ ”
11 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς· ὁ ποιήσας με ὑγιῆ, ἐκεῖνός μοι εἶπεν· ἆρον τὸν κράβαττόν σου καὶ περιπάτει.
12 Ellos le preguntaron: ―¿Quién es ese hombre que te dijo: “Recoge tu camilla y anda”?
12 Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”
12 ἠρώτησαν οὖν αὐτόν· τίς ἐστιν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ εἰπών σοι, ἆρον τὸν κράβαττόν σου καὶ περιπάτει;
13 El hombre no sabía quién lo había sanado, pues Jesús ya había desaparecido entre la multitud que había en el lugar.
13 But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.
13 ὁ δὲ ἰαθεὶς οὐκ ᾔδει τίς ἐστιν· ὁ γὰρ Ἰησοῦς ἐξένευσεν ὄχλου ὄντος ἐν τῷ τόπῳ.
14 Jesús encontró después al hombre en el templo y le dijo: ―Mira, ahora ya estás sano. No vuelvas a pecar porque te puede ocurrir algo peor.
14 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.”
14 μετὰ ταῦτα εὑρίσκει αὐτὸν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἴδε ὑγιὴς γέγονας· μηκέτι ἁμάρτανε, ἵνα μὴ χεῖρόν σοί τι γένηται.
15 El hombre se fue y les dijo a los judíos que Jesús era el que lo había sanado.
15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
15 ἀπῆλθεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος καὶ ἀνήγγειλε τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ ποιήσας αὐτὸν ὑγιῆ.
16 Por estas cosas los judíos perseguían a Jesús, por hacerlas en sábado.
16 For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
16 Καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἐδίωκον τὸν Ἰησοῦν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι, ὅτι ταῦτα ἐποίει ἐν σαββάτῳ.
17 Pero Jesús les dijo: ―Mi Padre siempre trabaja y por eso yo también trabajo.
17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”
17 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἀπεκρίνατο αὐτοῖς· ὁ πατήρ μου ἕως ἄρτι ἐργάζεται, κἀγὼ ἐργάζομαι.
18 Por esto los judíos trataban aún más de matarlo, ya que desobedecía la ley acerca del sábado y decía que Dios era su Padre, con lo cual se hacía igual a Dios.
18 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.
18 διὰ τοῦτο οὖν μᾶλλον ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἀποκτεῖναι, ὅτι οὐ μόνον ἔλυε τὸ σάββατον, ἀλλὰ καὶ πατέρα ἴδιον ἔλεγε τὸν Θεόν, ἴσον ἑαυτὸν ποιῶν τῷ Θεῷ.
19 Entonces Jesús les dijo: ―Les aseguro que el hijo no puede hacer nada por su propia cuenta, sino solamente lo que ve que hace su padre, porque cualquier cosa que hace el padre, la hace también el hijo.
19 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.
19 Ἀπεκρίνατο οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐ δύναται ὁ υἱὸς ποιεῖν ἀφ᾽ ἑαυτοῦ οὐδέν, ἐὰν μή τι βλέπῃ τὸν πατέρα ποιοῦντα· ἃ γὰρ ἂν ἐκεῖνος ποιῇ, ταῦτα καὶ ὁ υἱὸς ὁμοίως ποιεῖ.
20 El padre ama al hijo y le muestra todo lo que hace. Le mostrará cosas aun más grandes que estas y los dejará a ustedes asombrados.
20 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.
20 ὁ γὰρ πατὴρ φιλεῖ τὸν υἱὸν καὶ πάντα δείκνυσιν αὐτῷ ἃ αὐτὸς ποιεῖ, καὶ μείζονα τούτων δείξει αὐτῷ ἔργα, ἵνα ὑμεῖς θαυμάζητε.
21 Así como el Padre resucita a los muertos y les da vida, de la misma manera también el Hijo le da vida a quien él quiere.
21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.
21 ὥσπερ γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ ἐγείρει τοὺς νεκροὺς καὶ ζωοποιεῖ, οὕτω καὶ ὁ υἱὸς οὓς θέλει ζωοποιεῖ.
22 Y el Padre no juzga a nadie, sino que le ha dado al Hijo el poder para juzgar,
22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
22 οὐδὲ γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ κρίνει οὐδένα, ἀλλὰ τὴν κρίσιν πᾶσαν δέδωκε τῷ υἱῷ,
23 para que todos honren al Hijo como honran al Padre. El que se niega a honrar al Hijo, tampoco honra al Padre que lo envió.
23 that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him.
23 ἵνα πάντες τιμῶσι τὸν υἱὸν καθὼς τιμῶσι τὸν πατέρα. ὁ μὴ τιμῶν τὸν υἱὸν οὐ τιμᾷ τὸν πατέρα τὸν πέμψαντα αὐτόν.
24 »Les aseguro que el que presta atención a lo que digo y cree en el que me envió, tiene vida eterna y no será condenado, porque ha pasado de la muerte a la vida.
24 “Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
24 ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ὁ τὸν λόγον μου ἀκούων καὶ πιστεύων τῷ πέμψαντί με ἔχει ζωὴν αἰώνιον, καὶ εἰς κρίσιν οὐκ ἔρχεται, ἀλλὰ μεταβέβηκεν ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου εἰς τὴν ζωήν.
25 Les aseguro que ya viene la hora, y ya ha llegado, en que los muertos oirán la voz del Hijo de Dios, y los que la oigan vivirán.
25 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.
25 ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἔρχεται ὥρα, καὶ νῦν ἐστιν, ὅτε οἱ νεκροὶ ἀκούσονται τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ οἱ ἀκούσαντες ζήσονται·
26 El Padre tiene vida en sí mismo y ha permitido que el Hijo tenga también vida en sí mismo,
26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
26 ὥσπερ γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ ἔχει ζωὴν ἐν ἑαυτῷ, οὕτως ἔδωκε καὶ τῷ υἱῷ ζωὴν ἔχειν ἐν ἑαυτῷ·
27 y le ha dado autoridad para que juzgue, ya que es el Hijo del hombre.
27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
27 καὶ ἐξουσίαν ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ καὶ κρίσιν ποιεῖν, ὅτι υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου ἐστί.
28 »No se sorprendan por esto, porque viene la hora en que todos los muertos oirán su voz,
28 Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
28 μὴ θαυμάζετε τοῦτο· ὅτι ἔρχεται ὥρα ἐν ᾗ πάντες οἱ ἐν τοῖς μνημείοις ἀκούσονται τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ,
29 y saldrán de los sepulcros. Los que han hecho lo bueno resucitarán para tener vida, pero los que han hecho lo malo resucitarán para ser juzgados.
29 and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
29 καὶ ἐκπορεύσονται οἱ τὰ ἀγαθὰ ποιήσαντες εἰς ἀνάστασιν ζωῆς, οἱ δὲ τὰ φαῦλα πράξαντες εἰς ἀνάστασιν κρίσεως.
30 Yo no puedo hacer nada por mi propia cuenta. Juzgo por lo que oigo, y mi juicio es correcto, porque está de acuerdo con la voluntad del que me envió y no de acuerdo con mi propia voluntad.
30 I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is righteous, because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.
30 Οὐ δύναμαι ἐγὼ ποιεῖν ἀπ᾽ ἐμαυτοῦ οὐδέν. καθὼς ἀκούω κρίνω, καὶ ἡ κρίσις ἡ ἐμὴ δικαία ἐστίν· ὅτι οὐ ζητῶ τὸ θέλημα τὸ ἐμόν, ἀλλὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με πατρός.
31 »Si yo hablara en mi favor, ese testimonio no tendría valor.
31 “If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
31 Ἐὰν ἐγὼ μαρτυρῶ περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ, ἡ μαρτυρία μου οὐκ ἔστιν ἀληθής.
32 Pero es otro el que habla en mi favor, y me consta que tiene valor el testimonio que él da de mí.
32 It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
32 ἄλλος ἐστὶν ὁ μαρτυρῶν περὶ ἐμοῦ, καὶ οἶδα ὅτι ἀληθής ἐστιν ἡ μαρτυρία ἣν μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ.
33 »Ustedes enviaron a preguntarle a Juan, y él dio un testimonio que tiene valor.
33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
33 ὑμεῖς ἀπεστάλκατε πρὸς Ἰωάννην, καὶ μεμαρτύρηκε τῇ ἀληθείᾳ·
34 No se trata de que yo necesite el testimonio de un hombre; más bien digo esto para que ustedes sean salvos.
34 But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.
34 ἐγὼ δὲ οὐ παρὰ ἀνθρώπου τὴν μαρτυρίαν λαμβάνω, ἀλλὰ ταῦτα λέγω ἵνα ὑμεῖς σωθῆτε.
35 Juan era una lámpara encendida que alumbraba, y ustedes quisieron disfrutar de su luz por un tiempo.
35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
35 ἐκεῖνος ἦν ὁ λύχνος ὁ καιόμενος καὶ φαίνων, ὑμεῖς δὲ ἠθελήσατε ἀγαλλιαθῆναι πρὸς ὥραν ἐν τῷ φωτὶ αὐτοῦ.
36 »Yo tengo un testimonio mayor que el de Juan, pues lo que el Padre me ha encomendado hacer es lo que estoy haciendo y es lo que demuestra que el Padre me ha enviado.
36 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.
36 ἐγὼ δέ ἔχω τὴν μαρτυρίαν μείζω τοῦ Ἰωάννου· τὰ γὰρ ἔργα ἃ ἔδωκέ μοι ὁ πατὴρ ἵνα τελειώσω αὐτά, αὐτὰ τὰ ἔργα ἃ ἐγὼ ποιῶ, μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ ὅτι ὁ πατήρ με ἀπέσταλκε.
37 Y el Padre mismo que me envió ha testificado en mi favor. Pero ustedes nunca han oído su voz ni han visto su figura,
37 The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
37 καὶ ὁ πέμψας με πατήρ, αὐτὸς μεμαρτύρηκε περὶ ἐμοῦ. οὔτε φωνὴν αὐτοῦ ἀκηκόατε πώποτε οὔτε εἶδος αὐτοῦ ἑωράκατε,
38 ni vive su palabra en ustedes, porque no han creído en aquel a quien él envió.
38 You don’t have his word living in you, because you don’t believe him whom he sent.
38 καὶ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔχετε μένοντα ἐν ὑμῖν, ὅτι ὃν ἀπέστειλεν ἐκεῖνος, τούτῳ ὑμεῖς οὐ πιστεύετε.
39 »Ustedes estudian con cuidado las Escrituras porque piensan que en ellas hallan la vida eterna. Y son ellas las que hablan de mí.
39 “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.
39 ἐρευνᾶτε τὰς γραφάς, ὅτι ὑμεῖς δοκεῖτε ἐν αὐταῖς ζωὴν αἰώνιον ἔχειν· καὶ ἐκεῖναί εἰσιν αἱ μαρτυροῦσαι περὶ ἐμοῦ·
40 Sin embargo, ustedes no quieren venir a mí para tener vida eterna.
40 Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.
40 καὶ οὐ θέλετε ἐλθεῖν πρός με ἵνα ζωὴν ἔχητε.
41 »Yo no acepto la gloria de los hombres,
41 I don’t receive glory from men.
41 δόξαν παρὰ ἀνθρώπων οὐ λαμβάνω·
42 porque los conozco a ustedes y sé que no aman realmente a Dios.
42 But I know you, that you don’t have God’s love in yourselves.
42 ἀλλ᾽ ἔγνωκα ὑμᾶς ὅτι τὴν ἀγάπην τοῦ Θεοῦ οὐκ ἔχετε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς.
43 Yo he venido en nombre de mi Padre, y ustedes no me aceptan. En cambio, si otro viniera por su propia cuenta, a ese sí lo aceptarían.
43 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.
43 ἐγὼ ἐλήλυθα ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ οὐ λαμβάνετέ με· ἐὰν ἄλλος ἔλθῃ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τῷ ἰδίῳ, ἐκεῖνον λήψεσθε.
44 ¿Cómo van a creer, si unos a otros se rinden gloria pero no buscan la gloria del Dios único?
44 How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?
44 πῶς δύνασθε ὑμεῖς πιστεῦσαι, δόξαν παρὰ ἀλλήλων λαμβάνοντες, καὶ τὴν δόξαν τὴν παρὰ τοῦ μόνου Θεοῦ οὐ ζητεῖτε;
45 »Pero no crean que yo voy a acusarlos con mi Padre. Moisés será el que los acuse, ya que en él tienen puesta su confianza.
45 “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.
45 μὴ δοκεῖτε ὅτι ἐγὼ κατηγορήσω ὑμῶν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα· ἔστιν ὁ κατηγορῶν ὑμῶν Μωϋσῆς, εἰς ὃν ὑμεῖς ἠλπίκατε.
46 Si creyeran a Moisés, me creerían a mí, porque él escribió acerca de mí.
46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
46 εἰ γὰρ ἐπιστεύετε Μωϋσεῖ, ἐπιστεύετε ἂν ἐμοί· περὶ γὰρ ἐμοῦ ἐκεῖνος ἔγραψεν.
47 Pero como no creen lo que él escribió, ¿cómo van a creer lo que yo les digo?».
47 But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
47 εἰ δὲ τοῖς ἐκείνου γράμμασιν οὐ πιστεύετε, πῶς τοῖς ἐμοῖς ῥήμασι πιστεύσετε;

“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).

  4. Quotes verse 5:5 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book II, Chapters XXIII–XXIV)

    But they cannot maintain this; otherwise their primary and original Ogdoad will be included in the number of Æons who suffered together.
