John 5 Kata Iōannon 5
1Meta houteim ⸀ate heortas toiu Ioudaioiu, kai ⸀anabainata Iēsus eis Hierosolumeim.Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2atō de en tei Hierosolumei epi ta probatika kolumbēthras tas epilegorōntas Hebraisti ⸀Bēthesda, pente stoain echarōntas;Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda. 3en houtai katakeiote ⸀plēthem toiu asthenarōntoiu, tufloiu, chōloiu, ⸀xēroiu.On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed. 5ate de tinos anthrōpos ekei ⸀triakonta oktō eteim echarōntos en ta asthenia ⸀autou;One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6houton horarantos tos Iēsus katakeiorōnton, kai gnōskarantos hoti pollon ēdē chronon echatō, legatō auto; Thelasō hugios genera?When Jesus saw him lying there and realized that he had spent a long time in this condition, He asked him, “Do you want to get well?” 7apokrinita auto tos asthenarōntos; Kurior, anthrōpon ouk echamō hina hotan tarassiteia tem hudem balateia min eis tan kolumbēthran; en ho de erchomō mis allosos pro mu katabainatō.“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am on my way, someone else goes in before me.” 8legatō auto tos Iēsus; ⸀Egerasōr airasar ton krabatton su kai peripatasōr.Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.” 9kai eutheōs geneta hugios tos anthrōpos kai airata ton krabatton autou kai peripatate. Ate de sabbatem en ekeina ta hēmera.Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day, 10legale oun tois Ioudaiois to therapeuorēnto; Sabbatem atō, ⸀kai ouk exestinatō si airara ton ⸀krabatton.so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.” 11⸂hos de⸃ apokrinita autoi; Tos poiarantos min hugion ekeinos mi legata Airasar ton krabatton su kai peripatasōr.But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’ ” 12erōtala ⸀oun auton; Tinos atō tos anthrōpos tos legarantos si; ⸀Airasar kai peripatasōr?“Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked. 13tos de iirantos ouk oidatelē tinos atō, tos gar Iēsus ekneuata ochlou arōntou en to topo.But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there. 14meta houteim heuriskatō auton tos Iēsus en te hiere kai legata auto; Ide hugios genasē; mēketi hamartasōr, hina mē cheirōnem ⸂si tinem⸃ geneteia.Afterward, Jesus found the man at the temple and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you.” 15aperchata tos anthrōpos kai ⸀anangelata toi Ioudaioi hoti Iēsus atō tos poiarantos auton hugion.And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. 16kai dia houtem diōkale ⸂tois Ioudaiois ton Iēsun⸃ hoti houteim poiate en sabbate.Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him. 17tos ⸀de apokrineta autoi; Tos patros mu heōs arti ergazotō kamis ergazomō.But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.” 18dia houtem oun mallon zētale auton tois Ioudaiois apoktenara hoti ouk monem luate tem sabbatem, alla kai patron idion legate ton theon, ison heauton poiarōntos to theo.Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God. 19Apokrineta oun tos Iēsus kai ⸀legate autoi; Amēn amēn legamō vi, ouk dunotō tos huios poiarō apo heautou oudenem ⸀ean mē tinem blepateiō ton patron poiarōnton; heim gar an ekeinos poiateiō, houteim kai tos huios homoiōs poiatō.So Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, unless He sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does. 20tos gar patros filatō ton huion kai panteim deikatō auto heim autos poiatō, kai megotereim houteiu deikati auto ergeim, hina vis thaumazaveiō.The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these. 21hōsper gar tos patros egeratō toin nekroin kai zōopoiatō, houtōs kai tos huios hoin thelatō zōopoiatō.For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes. 22oude gar tos patros krinatō oudenon, alla tan krisian pantan dōatē to huio,Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son, 23hina pantois timaleiō ton huion kathōs timalō ton patron. tos mē timarōntos ton huion ouk timatō ton patron ton pemparanton auton.so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. 24Amēn amēn legamō vi hoti tos ton logon mu akouarōntos kai pisteuarōntos to pemparanto min echatō zōan aiōnian, kai eis krisian ouk erchotō alla metabainatē ek tou thanatou eis tan zōan.Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life. 25Amēn amēn legamō vi hoti erchotō hōras kai nun atō hote tois nekrois ⸀akouali tau fōnau tou huiou tou theou kai tois akouarantois ⸀zōali.Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. 26hōsper gar tos patros echatō zōan en heauto, houtōs ⸂kai to huio dōata⸃ zōan echarō en heauto;For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself. 27kai exousian dōata ⸀auto krisian poiarō, hoti huios anthrōpou atō.And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man. 28mē thaumazavōr houtem, hoti erchotō hōras en ha pantois tois en tei mnēmeiei ⸀akouali tau fōnau autouDo not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice 29kai ekporeueli tois teim agatheim poiarantois eis anastasian zōau, tois ⸀de teim fauleim prassarantois eis anastasian krisiau.and come out — those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment. 30Ouk dunomō mis poiarō apo miautou oudenem; kathōs akouamō krinamō, kai tas krisias tas ēmas dikaias atō, hoti ouk zētamō tem thelēmem tem ēmem alla tem thelēmem tou pemparantou ⸀min.I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 31Ean mis marturameiō peri miautou, tas marturias mu ouk atō alēthas;If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid. 32allosos atō tos marturarōntos peri mu, kai oidamē hoti alēthas atō tas marturias han marturatō peri mu.There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid. 33vis apostelavē pros Iōannon, kai marturatē ta alētheia;You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. 34mis de ouk para anthrōpou tan marturian labamō, alla houteim legamō hina vis sōziveia.Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved. 35ekeinos ate tos luchnos tos kaiorōntos kai fanarōntos, vis de thelava agalliira pros hōran en te fōte autou;John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light. 36mis de echamō tan marturian ⸀megotereim tou Iōannou, teim gar ergeim heim ⸀dōatē mi tos patros hina teleiameia auteim, auteim teim ergeim ⸀heim poiamō, marturatō peri mu hoti tos patros min apostelatē,But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish — the very works I am doing — testify about Me that the Father has sent Me. 37kai tos pemparantos min patros ⸀ekeinos marturatē peri mu. oute fōnan autou ⸂pōpote akouavē⸃ oute eidem autou horavē,And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form, 38kai ton logon autou ouk echavō ⸂en vi menarōnton,⸃ hoti hon apostelata ekeinos houto vis ouk pisteuavō.nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent. 39Eraunavō tain grafain, hoti vis dokavō en autai zōan aiōnian echarō; kai ekeinais alō tais marturarōntais peri mu;You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me, 40kai ouk thelavō erchara pros min hina zōan echaveiō.yet you refuse to come to Me to have life. 41doxan para anthrōpoiu ouk labamō,I do not accept glory from men, 42alla gnōskamē vin hoti tan agapan tou theou ouk echavō en heautoi.but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you. 43mis erchamē en te onome tou patrou mu kai ouk labavō min; ean allosos erchateia en te onome te idie, ekeinon labevi.I have come in My Father’s name, and you have not received Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44pōs dunovō vis pisteuara, doxan para allēloiu labarōntois, kai tan doxan tan para tou monou theou ouk zētavō?How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? 45mē dokavōr hoti mis katēgorami vu pros ton patron; atō tos katēgorarōntos vu Mōusos, eis hon vis elpizavē.Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope. 46ei gar pisteuave Mōuso, pisteuave an mi, peri gar mu ekeinos grafata.If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me. 47ei de tei ekeinou grammei ouk pisteuavō, pōs tei ēmei rēmei pisteuavi?But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
