1 Después de esto, se celebraba una fiesta de los judíos, y Jesús subió a Jerusalén.1 After these things, there was a feast day of the Jews, and so Jesus ascended to Jerusalem.
2 Hay en Jerusalén, junto a la Puerta de las Ovejas, una piscina que llaman en hebreo Betesda. Esta tiene cinco soportales,2 Now at Jerusalem is the Pool of Evidence, which in Hebrew is known as the Place of Mercy; it has five porticos.
3 y allí estaban echados muchos enfermos, ciegos, cojos, paralíticos.3 Along these lay a great multitude of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the withered, waiting for the movement of the water.
4 [«que esperaban el movimiento de las aguas; pues el ángel del Señor bajaba de tiempo en tiempo a la piscina y se movía el agua y el primero que descendía a la piscina tras el movimiento de agua quedaba sano de cualquier enfermedad que tuviera».]4 Now at times an Angel of the Lord would descend into the pool, and so the water was moved. And whoever descended first into the pool, after the motion of the water, he was healed of whatever infirmity held him.
5 Estaba también allí un hombre que llevaba treinta y ocho años enfermo.5 And there was a certain man in that place, having been in his infirmity for thirty-eight years.
6 Jesús, al verlo echado, y sabiendo que ya llevaba mucho tiempo, le dice: «¿Quieres quedar sano?».6 Then, when Jesus had seen him reclining, and when he realized that he had been afflicted for a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?”
7 El enfermo le contestó: «Señor, no tengo a nadie que me meta en la piscina cuando se remueve el agua; para cuando llego yo, otro se me ha adelantado».7 The invalid answered him: “Lord, I do not have any man to put me in the pool, when the water has been stirred. For as I am going, another descends ahead of me.”
8 Jesús le dice: «Levántate, toma tu camilla y echa a andar».8 Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your stretcher, and walk.”
9 Y al momento el hombre quedó sano, tomó su camilla y echó a andar. Aquel día era sábado,9 And immediately the man was healed. And he took up his stretcher and walked. Now this day was the Sabbath.
10 y los judíos dijeron al hombre que había quedado sano: «Hoy es sábado, y no se puede llevar la camilla».10 Therefore, the Jews said to the one who had been healed: “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to take up your stretcher.”
11 Él les contestó: «El que me ha curado es quien me ha dicho: “Toma tu camilla y echa a andar”».11 He answered them, “The one who healed me, he said to me, ‘Take up your stretcher and walk.’ ”
12 Ellos le preguntaron: «¿Quién es el que te ha dicho que tomes la camilla y eches a andar?».12 Therefore, they questioned him, “Who is that man, who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk?’ ”
13 Pero el que había quedado sano no sabía quién era, porque Jesús, a causa del gentío que había en aquel sitio, se había alejado.13 But the one who had been given health did not know who it was. For Jesus had turned aside from the crowd gathered in that place.
14 Más tarde lo encuentra Jesús en el templo y le dice: «Mira, has quedado sano; no peques más, no sea que te ocurra algo peor».14 Afterwards, Jesus found him in the temple, and he said to him: “Behold, you have been healed. Do not choose to sin further, otherwise something worse may happen to you.”
15 Se marchó aquel hombre y dijo a los judíos que era Jesús quien lo había sanado.15 This man went away, and he reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had given him health.
16 Por esto los judíos perseguían a Jesús, porque hacía tales cosas en sábado.16 Because of this, the Jews were persecuting Jesus, for he was doing these things on the Sabbath.
17 Jesús les dijo: «Mi Padre sigue actuando, y yo también actúo».17 But Jesus answered them, “Even now, my Father is working, and I am working.”
18 Por eso los judíos tenían más ganas de matarlo: porque no solo quebrantaba el sábado, sino también llamaba a Dios Padre suyo, haciéndose igual a Dios.18 And so, because of this, the Jews were seeking to kill him even more so. For not only did he break the Sabbath, but he even said that God was his Father, making himself equal to God.
19 Jesús tomó la palabra y les dijo: «En verdad, en verdad os digo: el Hijo no puede hacer nada por su cuenta sino lo que viere hacer al Padre. Lo que hace este, eso mismo hace también el Hijo,19 Then Jesus responded and said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, the Son is not able to do anything of himself, but only what he has seen the Father doing. For whatever he does, even this does the Son do, similarly.
20 pues el Padre ama al Hijo y le muestra todo lo que él hace, y le mostrará obras mayores que esta, para vuestro asombro.20 For the Father loves the Son, and he shows him all that he himself does. And greater works than these will he show him, so much so that you shall wonder.
21 Lo mismo que el Padre resucita a los muertos y les da vida, así también el Hijo da vida a los que quiere.21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, so also does the Son give life to whomever he wills.
22 Porque el Padre no juzga a nadie, sino que ha confiado al Hijo todo el juicio,22 For the Father does not judge anyone. But he has given all judgment to the Son,
23 para que todos honren al Hijo como honran al Padre. El que no honra al Hijo, no honra al Padre que lo envió.23 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.
24 En verdad, en verdad os digo: quien escucha mi palabra y cree al que me envió posee la vida eterna y no incurre en juicio, sino que ha pasado ya de la muerte a la vida.24 Amen, amen, I say to you, that whoever hears my word, and believes in him who sent me, has eternal life, and he does not go into judgment, but instead he crosses from death into life.
25 En verdad, en verdad os digo: llega la hora, y ya está aquí, en que los muertos oirán la voz del Hijo de Dios, y los que hayan oído vivirán.25 Amen, amen, I say to you, that the hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear it shall live.
26 Porque, igual que el Padre tiene vida en sí mismo, así ha dado también al Hijo tener vida en sí mismo.26 For just as the Father has life in himself, so also has he granted to the Son to have life in himself.
27 Y le ha dado potestad de juzgar, porque es el Hijo del hombre.27 And he has given him the authority to accomplish judgment. For he is the Son of man.
28 No os sorprenda esto, porque viene la hora en que los que están en el sepulcro oirán su voz:28 Do not be amazed at this. For the hour is coming in which all who are in the grave shall hear the voice of the Son of God.
29 los que hayan hecho el bien saldrán a una resurrección de vida; los que hayan hecho el mal, a una resurrección de juicio.29 And those who have done good shall go forth to the resurrection of life. Yet truly, those who have done evil shall go to the resurrection of judgment.
30 Yo no puedo hacer nada por mí mismo; según le oigo, juzgo, y mi juicio es justo, porque no busco mi voluntad, sino la voluntad del que me envió.30 I am not able to do anything of myself. As I hear, so do I judge. And my judgment is just. For I do not seek my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
31 Si yo doy testimonio de mí mismo, mi testimonio no es verdadero.31 If I offer testimony about myself, my testimony is not true.
32 Hay otro que da testimonio de mí, y sé que es verdadero el testimonio que da de mí.32 There is another who offers testimony about me, and I know that the testimony which he offers about me is true.
33 Vosotros enviasteis mensajeros a Juan, y él ha dado testimonio en favor de la verdad.33 You sent to John, and he offered testimony to the truth.
34 No es que yo dependa del testimonio de un hombre; si digo esto es para que vosotros os salvéis.34 But I do not accept testimony from man. Instead, I say these things, so that you may be saved.
35 Juan era la lámpara que ardía y brillaba, y vosotros quisisteis gozar un instante de su luz.35 He was a burning and shining light. So you were willing, at the time, to exult in his light.
36 Pero el testimonio que yo tengo es mayor que el de Juan: las obras que el Padre me ha concedido llevar a cabo, esas obras que hago dan testimonio de mí: que el Padre me ha enviado.36 But I hold a greater testimony than that of John. For the works which the Father has given to me, so that I may complete them, these works themselves that I do, offer testimony about me: that the Father has sent me.
37 Y el Padre que me envió, él mismo ha dado testimonio de mí. Nunca habéis escuchado su voz, ni visto su rostro,37 And the Father who has sent me has himself offered testimony about me. And you have never heard his voice, nor have you beheld his appearance.
38 y su palabra no habita en vosotros, porque al que él envió no lo creéis.38 And you do not have his word abiding in you. For the one whom he sent, the same you would not believe.
39 Estudiáis las Escrituras pensando encontrar en ellas vida eterna; pues ellas están dando testimonio de mí,39 Study the Scriptures. For you think that in them you have eternal life. And yet they also offer testimony about me.
40 ¡y no queréis venir a mí para tener vida!40 And you are not willing to come to me, so that you may have life.
41 No recibo gloria de los hombres;41 I do not accept glory from men.
42 además, os conozco y sé que el amor de Dios no está en vosotros.42 But I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.
43 Yo he venido en nombre de mi Padre, y no me recibisteis; si otro viene en nombre propio, a ese sí lo recibiréis.43 I have come in the name of my Father, and you do not accept me. If another will arrive in his own name, him you will accept.
44 ¿Cómo podréis creer vosotros, que aceptáis gloria unos de otros y no buscáis la gloria que viene del único Dios?44 How are you able to believe, you who accept glory from one another and yet do not seek the glory that is from God alone?
45 No penséis que yo os voy a acusar ante el Padre, hay uno que os acusa: Moisés, en quien tenéis vuestra esperanza.45 Do not consider that I might accuse you with the Father. There is one who accuses you, Moses, in whom you hope.
46 Si creyerais a Moisés, me creeríais a mí, porque de mí escribió él.46 For if you were believing in Moses, perhaps you would believe in me also. For he wrote about me.
47 Pero, si no creéis en sus escritos, ¿cómo vais a creer en mis palabras?».47 But if you do not believe by his writings, how will you believe by my words?”
