1 Después de esto, hubo una celebración judía, así que Jesús fue a Jerusalén.
1 After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Resulta que junto a la Puerta de las Ovejas, en Jerusalén, hay un estanque llamado “Betesda” en hebreo, con cinco pórticos a los lados.
2 Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches.
3 Multitudes de personas enfermas yacían en estos pórticos: —ciegos, cojos, y paralíticos.
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 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 Un hombre que estaba allí, había estado enfermo durante treinta y ocho años. Jesús lo miró, sabiendo que había estado allí por mucho tiempo, y le preguntó:
5 A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
6 “¿Quieres ser sanado?”
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 “Señor”, respondió el hombre enfermo, “No tengo a nadie que me ayude a entrar al estanque cuando el agua es agitada. Mientras trato de llegar allí, alguien llega primero que yo”.
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 “¡Levántate, toma tu camilla y comienza a caminar!” le dijo Jesús.
8 Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”
9 De inmediato el hombre fue sanado. Recogió su camilla y comenzó a caminar. Aconteció que el día que ocurrió esto era sábado.
9 Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.
10 Así que los judíos le dijeron al hombre que había sido sanado: “¡Es Sábado! ¡Es contra la ley cargar una 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.”
11 Pero él respondió: “El hombre que me sanó me dijo que recogiera mi camilla y comenzara a caminar”.
11 He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’ ”
12 “¿Quién es esta persona que te dijo que cargaras tu camilla y caminaras?” preguntaron ellos.
12 Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”
13 Sin embargo, el hombre que había sido sanado no sabía quién era, pues Jesús había desaparecido entre la multitud que le rodeaba.
13 But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.
14 Después de esto, Jesús encontró al hombre en el Templo, y le dijo: “Mira, ahora has sido sanado. Deja de pecar o podría ocurrirte 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.”
15 Entonces el hombre fue donde los judíos y les dijo que había sido Jesús quien lo había sanado.
15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 Entonces los judíos comenzaron a perseguir a Jesús porque él estaba haciendo estas cosas el día sábado.
16 For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
17 Pero Jesús les dijo: “Mi Padre aún trabaja, y yo también”.
17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”
18 Fue por esto que los judíos se esforzaron más aún en matarlo, porque no solamente quebrantaba el Sábado sino que también llamaba a Dios su Padre, haciéndose así semejante 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.
19 Jesús les explicó: “Les digo la verdad, el Hijo no puede hacer nada por su propia cuenta; él solo puede hacer lo que ve hacer al Padre. Todo lo que el Padre hace, lo 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.
20 Porque el Padre ama al Hijo y le revela todo lo que hace; y el Padre le mostrará incluso cosas más increíbles que van a dejarlos asombrados a ustedes por completo.
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 Porque así como el Padre da vida a los que resucita de la muerte, del mismo modo el Hijo también da vida a los que 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.
22 El padre no juzga a nadie. Él le ha dado toda la autoridad al Hijo para juzgar,
22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
23 a fin de que todos puedan honrar al Hijo así como honran al Padre. Cualquiera que no honra al Hijo, no 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.
24 Les digo la verdad: aquellos que siguen lo que yo digo y creen en Aquél que me envió, tienen vida eterna. Ellos no serán condenados, sino que habrán 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.
25 “Les digo la verdad: Se acerca el tempo—de hecho, ya está aquí—cuando los muertos escucharán la voz del Hijo de Dios; y los que le escuchen, 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 Así como el Padre tiene en sí mismo el poder de dar vida, así también le ha dado al Hijo el poder de dar vida.
26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
27 El Padre también le otorgó al Hijo la autoridad de juzgar, porque él es el Hijo del hombre.
27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
28 No se sorprendan de esto, porque viene el tiempo en que todos los que estén en el sepulcro escucharán 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 y se levantarán de nuevo. Aquellos que han hecho bien, resucitarán para vida; y los que han hecho mal, resucitarán para 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 Yo no puedo hacer nada por mi propia cuenta. Juzgo basándome en lo que se me dice, y mi decisión es justa, porque no estoy haciendo mi propia voluntad sino la voluntad de Aquél que me envió.
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 Si yo quisiera atribuirme alguna gloria para mí mismo, esas atribuciones no serían válidas;
31 “If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
32 pero hay alguien más que da evidencia acerca de mí, y yo sé que lo que él dice de mí es verdad.
32 It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
33 Ustedes le preguntaron a Juan sobre mí y él dijo la verdad,
33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34 pero yo no necesito ninguna aprobación humana. Estoy explicándoles esto para que sean salvos.
34 But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.
35 Juan fue como una lámpara resplandeciente, y ustedes estuvieron dispuestos a 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.
36 Pero la evidencia que les estoy dando es más grande que la de Juan. Porque yo estoy haciendo el trabajo que mi Padre me dio para que hiciera,
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 y esta es la evidencia de que el Padre me envió. El Padre que me envió, Él mismo habla en mi favor. Ustedes nunca han escuchado su voz y nunca han visto cómo es Él,
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 y no aceptan lo que Él dice, porque no confían en el que envió.
38 You don’t have his word living in you, because you don’t believe him whom he sent.
39 “Ustedes examinan las Escrituras porque piensan que a través de ellas obtendrán la vida eterna. ¡Pero la evidencia que ellas dan está a mi favor!
39 “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.
40 Y sin embargo, ustedes no quieren venir a mí para que tengan vida.
40 Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.
41 Yo no estoy buscando aprobación humana
41 I don’t receive glory from men.
42 —Yo los conozco, y sé que no tienen el amor de Dios en ustedes.
42 But I know you, that you don’t have God’s love in yourselves.
43 Pues yo he venido a representar a mi Padre, y ustedes no me aceptarán; ¡pero si alguno viene representándose a sí mismo, entonces ustedes lo aceptan!
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 ¿Cómo pueden creer en mí si buscan alabanza entre los unos y los otros y no la alabanza del único Dios verdadero?
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 Pero no crean que yo estaré haciendo acusaciones sobre ustedes ante el Padre. Es Moisés quien los acusa, el mismo en quien ustedes han puesto tal 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.
46 Pues si ustedes realmente creyeran en Moisés, creerían en mí, porque él escribió acerca de mí.
46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
47 Pero como ustedes no creen en lo que él dijo, ¿porqué confiarían en lo que yo digo?”
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.

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.
