Jesus Heals a Man at a Pool5 1Later, Jesus went to Jerusalem for a special Jewish festival. 2In Jerusalem there is a pool with five covered porches. In Aramaica it is called Bethzathab. This pool is near the Sheep Gate. 3Many sick people were lying on the porches beside the pool. Some of them were blind, some were crippled, and some were paralyzed.c 4d 5One of the men lying there had been sick for 38 years. 6Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been sick for a very long time. So he asked him, "Do you want to be well?"
7The sick man answered, "Sir, there is no one to help me get into the water when it starts moving. I try to be the first one into the water. But when I try, someone else always goes in before I can."
8Then Jesus said, "Stand up! Pick up your mat and walk." 9Immediately the man was well. He picked up his mat and started walking.
The day all this happened was a Sabbathe day. 10So some Jews said to the man who had been healed, "Today is the Sabbath. It is against our law for you to carry your mat on the Sabbath day."
11But he answered, "The man who made me well told me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.'"
12They asked him, "Who is the man who told you to pick up your mat and walk?"
13But the man who had been healed did not know who it was. There were many people there, and Jesus had left.
14Later, Jesus found the man at the Templef and said to him, "See, you are well now. But stop sinning or something worse may happen to you!"
15Then the man left and went back to the Jews who questioned him. He told them that Jesus was the one who made him well.
16Jesus was doing all this on the Sabbath day. So these Jews began trying to make him stop. 17But he said to them, "My Father never stops working, and so I work too."
18This made them try harder to kill him. They said, "First this man was breaking the law about the Sabbath day. Then he said that God is his Father! He is making himself equal with God!"
Jesus Has God’s Authority 19But Jesus answered, "I assure you that the Son can do nothing alone. He does only what he sees his Father doing. The Son does the same things that the Father does. 20The Father loves the Son and shows him everything he does. This man was healed. But the Father will show the Son greater things than this to do. Then you will all be amazed. 21The Father raises the dead and gives them life. In the same way, the Son gives life to those he wants to.
22"Also, the Father judges no one. He has given the Son power to do all the judging. 23God did this so that all people will respect the Son the same as they respect the Father. Anyone who does not respect the Son does not respect the Father. He is the one who sent the Son.
24"I assure you, anyone who hears what I say and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life. They will not be judged guilty. They have already left death and have entered into life. 25Believe me, an important time is coming. That time is already here. People who are dead will hear the voice of the Son of God. And those who listen will live. 26Life comes from the Father himself. So the Father has also allowed the Son to give life. 27And the Father has given him the power to judge all people because he is the Son of Mang.
28"Don't be surprised at this. A time is coming when all people who are dead and in their graves will hear his voice. 29Then they will come out of their graves. Those who did good in this life will rise and have eternal life. But those who did evil will rise to be judged guilty.
30"I can do nothing alone. I judge only the way I am told. And my judgment is right, because I am not trying to please myself. I want only to please the one who sent me.
Jesus Says More to the Jewish Leaders 31"If I tell people about myself, they cannot be sure that what I say is true. 32But there is someone else who tells people about me, and I know that what he says about me is true.
33"You sent men to Johnh, and he told you what is true. 34I don't need anyone to tell people about me, but I remind you of what John said so that you can be saved. 35John was like a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were happy to enjoy his light for a while.
36"But I have a proof about myself that is greater than anything John said. The things I do are my proof. These are what my Father gave me to do. They show that the Father sent me. 37And the Father who sent me has given proof about me himself. But you have never heard his voice. You have never seen what he looks like. 38The Father's teaching does not live in you, because you don't believe in the one the Father sent. 39You carefully study the Scripturesi. You think that they give you eternal life. These same Scriptures tell about me! 40But you refuse to come to me to have that life.
41"I don't want praise from you or any other human. 42But I know you - I know that you have no love for God. 43I have come from my Father and speak for him, but you don't accept me. But when other people come speaking only for themselves, you accept them. 44You like to have praise from each other. But you never try to get the praise that comes from the only God. So how can you believe? 45Don't think that I will be the one to stand before the Father and accuse you. Mosesj is the one to accuse you. And he is the one you hoped would save you. 46If you really believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me. 47But you don't believe what he wrote, so you can't believe what I say."
aAramaic The language of the Arameans, which became the main language of trade and diplomacy in the ancient near east during the Assyrian, the Neo-Babylonian, and Persian empires. Similar to Hebrew, it later became the common language of many Jews and is the spoken “Hebrew” referred to in the New Testament.
b5:2 Bethzatha Also called Bethsaida or Bethesda, a pool of water north of the Temple in Jerusalem.
c5:3 At the end of verse 3, some Greek copies add “and they waited for the water to move.”
d5:4 A few later copies add verse 4: “Sometimes an angel of the Lord came down to the pool and shook the water. After this, the first person to go into the pool was healed from any sickness he had.”
eSabbath Saturday, the seventh day of the week and a special day for Israelites or Jews. By God’s command it was set aside as a time for the people to rest and honor God.
fTemple The permanent building in Jerusalem that replaced the portable “Holy Tent” that was used by the Israelites from the time of their wandering in the desert to the reign of King Solomon, when the first Temple was built. Like the Holy Tent, the Temple was the center of Israelite worship, although provision was made for it to be “a house of prayer for all nations” (Isa. 56:7).
gSon of Man The name that Jesus most often used for himself. The phrase in Hebrew or Aramaic means “human being” or “mankind,” but in Dan. 7:13-14 it is used of a future savior and king, and this was later understood to be the Messiah, the one God would send to save his people.
hJohn See “John the Baptizer.”
iScripture Part of the Scriptures or “Holy Writings” - the Old Testament.
jMoses One of the most important leaders of the Israelites during the time of the Old Testament. God used him to give the people his law, which is often called “the Law of Moses.”
