The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 post haec erat dies festus Iudaeorum et ascendit Iesus Hierosolymis
1
After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 est autem Hierosolymis super Probatica piscina quae cognominatur hebraice Bethsaida quinque porticus habens
2
Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.
3 in his iacebat multitudo magna languentium caecorum claudorum aridorum expectantium aquae motum
3
In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 []
4
For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had.
5 erat autem quidam homo ibi triginta et octo annos habens in infirmitate sua
5
Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.
6 hunc cum vidisset Iesus iacentem et cognovisset quia multum iam tempus habet dicit ei vis sanus fieri
6
When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, "Do you want to be made well?"
7 respondit ei languidus Domine hominem non habeo ut cum turbata fuerit aqua mittat me in piscinam dum venio enim ego alius ante me descendit
7
The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me."
8 dicit ei Iesus surge tolle grabattum tuum et ambula
8
Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed and walk."
9 et statim sanus factus est homo et sustulit grabattum suum et ambulabat erat autem sabbatum in illo die
9
And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath.
10 dicebant Iudaei illi qui sanatus fuerat sabbatum est non licet tibi tollere grabattum tuum
10
The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed."
11 respondit eis qui me fecit sanum ille mihi dixit tolle grabattum tuum et ambula
11
He answered them, "He who made me well said to me, 'Take up your bed and walk.'"
12 interrogaverunt ergo eum quis est ille homo qui dixit tibi tolle grabattum tuum et ambula
12
Then they asked him, "Who is the Man who said to you, 'Take up your bed and walk'?"
13 is autem qui sanus fuerat effectus nesciebat quis esset Iesus enim declinavit turba constituta in loco
13
But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place.
14 postea invenit eum Iesus in templo et dixit illi ecce sanus factus es iam noli peccare ne deterius tibi aliquid contingat
14
Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you."
15 abiit ille homo et nuntiavit Iudaeis quia Iesus esset qui fecit eum sanum
15
The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 propterea persequebantur Iudaei Iesum quia haec faciebat in sabbato
16
For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath.
17 Iesus autem respondit eis Pater meus usque modo operatur et ego operor
17
But Jesus answered them, "My Father has been working until now, and I have been working."
18 propterea ergo magis quaerebant eum Iudaei interficere quia non solum solvebat sabbatum sed et Patrem suum dicebat Deum aequalem se faciens Deo respondit itaque Iesus et dixit eis
18
Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.
19 amen amen dico vobis non potest Filius a se facere quicquam nisi quod viderit Patrem facientem quaecumque enim ille fecerit haec et Filius similiter facit
19
Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.
20 Pater enim diligit Filium et omnia demonstrat ei quae ipse facit et maiora his demonstrabit ei opera ut vos miremini
20
For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
21 sicut enim Pater suscitat mortuos et vivificat sic et Filius quos vult vivificat
21
For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will.
22 neque enim Pater iudicat quemquam sed iudicium omne dedit Filio
22
For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,
23 ut omnes honorificent Filium sicut honorificant Patrem qui non honorificat Filium non honorificat Patrem qui misit illum
23
that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
24 amen amen dico vobis quia qui verbum meum audit et credit ei qui misit me habet vitam aeternam et in iudicium non venit sed transit a morte in vitam
24
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
25 amen amen dico vobis quia venit hora et nunc est quando mortui audient vocem Filii Dei et qui audierint vivent
25
Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.
26 sicut enim Pater habet vitam in semet ipso sic dedit et Filio vitam habere in semet ipso
26
For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,
27 et potestatem dedit ei et iudicium facere quia Filius hominis est
27
and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.
28 nolite mirari hoc quia venit hora in qua omnes qui in monumentis sunt audient vocem eius
28
Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice
29 et procedent qui bona fecerunt in resurrectionem vitae qui vero mala egerunt in resurrectionem iudicii
29
and come forth--those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
30 non possum ego a me ipso facere quicquam sicut audio iudico et iudicium meum iustum est quia non quaero voluntatem meam sed voluntatem eius qui misit me
30
I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
31 si ego testimonium perhibeo de me testimonium meum non est verum
31
"If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true.
32 alius est qui testimonium perhibet de me et scio quia verum est testimonium quod perhibet de me
32
There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true.
33 vos misistis ad Iohannem et testimonium perhibuit veritati
33
You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
34 ego autem non ab homine testimonium accipio sed haec dico ut vos salvi sitis
34
Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved.
35 ille erat lucerna ardens et lucens vos autem voluistis exultare ad horam in luce eius
35
He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.
36 ego autem habeo testimonium maius Iohanne opera enim quae dedit mihi Pater ut perficiam ea ipsa opera quae ego facio testimonium perhibent de me quia Pater me misit
36
But I have a greater witness than John's; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish--the very works that I do--bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.
37 et qui misit me Pater ipse testimonium perhibuit de me neque vocem eius umquam audistis neque speciem eius vidistis
37
And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.
38 et verbum eius non habetis in vobis manens quia quem misit ille huic vos non creditis
38
But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.
39 scrutamini scripturas quia vos putatis in ipsis vitam aeternam habere et illae sunt quae testimonium perhibent de me
39
You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.
40 et non vultis venire ad me ut vitam habeatis
40
But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
41 claritatem ab hominibus non accipio
41
I do not receive honor from men.
42 sed cognovi vos quia dilectionem Dei non habetis in vobis
42
But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.
43 ego veni in nomine Patris mei et non accipitis me si alius venerit in nomine suo illum accipietis
43
I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.
44 quomodo potestis vos credere qui gloriam ab invicem accipitis et gloriam quae a solo est Deo non quaeritis
44
How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God?
45 nolite putare quia ego accusaturus sim vos apud Patrem est qui accuset vos Moses in quo vos speratis
45
Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you--Moses, in whom you trust.
46 si enim crederetis Mosi crederetis forsitan et mihi de me enim ille scripsit
46
For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me.
47 si autem illius litteris non creditis quomodo meis verbis credetis
47
But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?"
