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.
1 After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to 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.
2 Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches.
3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent persons, 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.
3 In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;
4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and agitated the water: whoever then first after the stirring of the water stepped in, was cured of whatever 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.
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 And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty and 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, and knew that he had been now a long time [in that case] , he saith to him, Wilt thou be healed?
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 impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is agitated, 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.
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 saith to him, Rise, take up thy 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 And immediately the man was healed, 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.
9 Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.
10 The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, it is the sabbath; 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.
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 answered them, He that healed me, the same said to me, Take up thy bed, 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 Then they asked him, What man is that who said to thee, Take up thy bed, 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 And he that was healed knew 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.
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 findeth him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art cured: sin no more, lest a worse thing come to 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.
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 departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.
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 And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done 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 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
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 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.
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 Then answered Jesus, and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing by himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for whatever things 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.
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 loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and he will show 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.
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 raiseth the dead, and reviveth [them] ; even so the Son reviveth 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.
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 judgeth no man; but hath committed 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 That all [men] should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father who 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.
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 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but hath 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 Verily, verily, I say to 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.
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 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:
26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
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.
27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in 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;
28 Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.
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 of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who 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.
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 testify concerning myself, my testimony is not 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 that testifieth concerning me, and I know that the testimony which he beareth concerning 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 Ye sent to John, and he testified to 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 I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye may 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 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.
35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
36 But I have greater testimony than [that] of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear testimony concerning 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.
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 And the Father himself who hath sent me, hath borne testimony concerning 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.
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 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.
38 You don’t have his word living in you, because you don’t believe him whom he sent.
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.
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 ye will not come to me, that ye 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 receive not honor from men.
41 Gloria de los hombres no recibo.
41 I don’t receive glory from men.
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.
42 But I know you, that you don’t have God’s love in yourselves.
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.
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 ye believe, who receive honor one from another, and seek not the honor 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?
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 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.
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 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote concerning 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 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?
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.
