WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 After this there was a Jewish festival, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
1 DESPUÉS de estas cosas, era un día de fiesta de los Judíos, y subió Jesús á Jerusalem.
1 After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda, and it has five roofed porches.
2 Y hay en Jerusalem á [la puerta] del ganado un estanque, que en hebraico es llamado Bethesda, el cual tiene cinco portales.
2 Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches.
3 A large number of people who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed were lying there.
3 En éstos yacía multitud de enfermos, ciegos, cojos, secos, que estaban esperando el movimiento del agua.
3 In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;
4 Not in this translation
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.
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.
5 A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
5 Y estaba allí un hombre que había treinta y ocho años que estaba enfermo.
5 A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and after he realized that he had been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healthy?”
6 Como Jesús vió á éste echado, y entendió que ya había mucho tiempo, dícele: ¿Quieres ser sano?
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?”
7 The sick man replied, “Sir, I do not have anyone to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. When I come, another steps 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.
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.”
8 Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.”
8 Dícele Jesús: Levántate, toma tu lecho, y anda.
8 Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”
9 Immediately the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.
9 Y luego aquel hombre fué sano, y tomó su lecho, é íbase. Y era sábado aquel día.
9 Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.
10 So the Jews said to him who was healed, “It is the Sabbath and you are not permitted to carry your mat.”
10 Entonces los Judíos decían á aquel que había sido sanado: Sábado es: no te es lícito llevar tu lecho.
10 So the Jews said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”
11 He replied, “He who made me healthy said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.'”
11 Respondióles: El que me sanó, él mismo me dijo: Toma tu lecho y anda.
11 He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’ ”
12 They asked him, “Who is the man that said to you, 'Pick it up and walk'?”
12 Preguntáronle entonces: ¿Quién es el que te dijo: Toma tu lecho y anda?
12 Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”
13 However, the one who was healed did not know who it was because Jesus had gone away secretly, for there was a crowd 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.
13 But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.
14 Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you have become healthy! Do not sin anymore, so that something worse will not 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.
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.”
15 The man went away and reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him healthy.
15 El se fué, y dió aviso á los Judíos, que Jesús era el que le había sanado.
15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 Now because of these things the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
16 Y por esta causa los Judíos perseguían á Jesús, y procuraban matarle, porque hacía estas cosas en sábado.
16 For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
17 Jesus replied to them, “My Father is working even now, and I, too, am working.”
17 Y Jesús les respondió: Mi Padre hasta ahora obra, y yo obro.
17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”
18 Because of this, the Jews sought even more to kill him because he not only broke the Sabbath, but 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.
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.
19 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, the Son can do nothing of himself, except only what he sees the Father doing, for whatever the Father is doing, the Son does these things also.
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.
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.
20 For the Father loves the Son and he shows him everything that he himself does, and he will show him greater things than these so that you will be amazed.
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.
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.
21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes.
21 Porque como el Padre levanta los muertos, y les da vida, así también el Hijo á los que quiere da vida.
21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.
22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son
22 Porque el Padre á nadie juzga, mas todo el juicio dió al Hijo;
22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
23 so that everyone will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor 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.
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.
24 Truly, truly, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, but he has passed from death to 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.
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.
25 Truly, truly, I tell you the time is coming, and is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear 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.
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.
26 For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has also given to the Son so that he has life in himself,
26 Porque como el Padre tiene vida en sí mismo, así dió también al Hijo que tuviese 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.
27 and the Father has given the Son authority to carry out judgment because he is the Son of Man.
27 Y también le dió poder de hacer juicio, en cuanto es el Hijo del hombre.
27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
28 Do not be amazed at this, for there is a time coming in which everyone who is 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;
28 Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
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 Y los que hicieron bien, saldrán á resurrección de vida; mas los que hicieron mal, á resurrección de condenación.
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.
30 I can do nothing from myself. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous because I am not seeking my own will but the will of him 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.
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.
31 If I should testify about myself, my testimony would not be true.
31 Si yo doy testimonio de mí mismo, mi testimonio no es verdadero.
31 “If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
32 There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony that he gives about me is true.
32 Otro es el que da testimonio de mí; y sé que el testimonio que da de mí, es verdadero.
32 It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
33 You have sent to John, and he has testified the truth.
33 Vosotros enviasteis á Juan, y [él] dió testimonio á la verdad.
33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34 But the testimony that I receive is not from man. I say these things that you might be saved.
34 Empero yo no tomo el testimonio de hombre; mas digo esto, para que vosotros seáis salvos.
34 But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.
35 John was a lamp that was burning and shining, and you were willing to rejoice in his light for a while.
35 El era antorcha que ardía y alumbraba: y vosotros quisisteis recrearos por un poco á su luz.
35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
36 Yet the testimony that I have is greater than that of John, for the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about 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.
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.
37 The Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You have neither heard his voice nor seen his form at any time.
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.
37 The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
38 You do not have his word remaining in you, for you are not believing in the one whom he has sent.
38 Ni tenéis su palabra permanente en vosotros; porque al que él envió, á éste vosotros no creéis.
38 You don’t have his word living in you, because you don’t believe him whom he sent.
39 You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, and these same scriptures testify about 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.
39 “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.
40 and you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.
40 Y no queréis venir á mí, para que tengáis vida.
40 Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.
41 I do not receive praise from men,
41 Gloria de los hombres no recibo.
41 I don’t receive glory from men.
42 but I know that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.
42 Mas yo os conozco, que no tenéis amor de Dios en vosotros.
42 But I know you, that you don’t have God’s love in yourselves.
43 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another should come in his own name, you would receive him.
43 Yo he venido en nombre de mi Padre, y no me recibís: si otro viniere en su propio nombre, á aquél recibiréis.
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.
44 How can you believe, you who accept praise from one another but are not seeking the praise that comes from the only God?
44 ¿Cómo podéis vosotros creer, pues tomáis la gloria los unos de los otros, y no buscáis la gloria que de sólo Dios viene?
44 How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45 Do not think that I myself will accuse you before the Father. The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.
45 No penséis que yo os tengo de acusar delante del Padre; hay quien os acusa, Moisés, en quien vosotros esperáis.
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.
46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me.
46 Porque si vosotros creyeseis á Moisés, creeríais á mí; porque de mí escribió él.
46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
47 If you do not believe his writings, how are you going to believe my words?”
47 Y si á sus escritos no creéis, ¿cómo creeréis á mis palabras?
47 But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”

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.

Great is the profit of the divine Scriptures, and all-sufficient is the aid which comes from them.

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.
