30耶稣继续说:“我凭自己不能做什么,我按父上帝的旨意审判,我的审判是公平的;因为我不是按自己的旨意行,而是按差我来者的旨意行。31“如果我为自己做见证,我的见证是无效的。32然而,有别的人给我做见证,我知道他为我做的见证是真实的。33你们曾派人到约翰那里,他为真理做过见证。34其实我并不需要人的见证,我之所以提起这些事是为了使你们得救。35约翰是一盏点亮的明灯,你们情愿暂时享受他的光。36但是我有比约翰更大的见证,因为父交待我去完成的工作,就是我现在所做的工作,证明我是父差来的。37差我来的父曾亲自为我做过见证。你们从未听过祂的声音,从未见过祂,38心里也没有祂的道,因为你们不信祂所差来的那位。39你们研读圣经,以为从圣经中可以得到永生。其实为我做见证的正是这圣经,40但你们却不肯到我这里来得生命。41“我不接受人所给予的荣耀,42我知道你们没有爱上帝的心。43我奉我父的名来,你们不接受我;若有人奉自己的名来,你们却接受他。44你们喜欢互相恭维,却不追求从独一上帝来的荣耀,怎能信我呢?45不要以为我会在父面前控告你们,其实控告你们的是你们一直信赖的摩西。46你们若信摩西,就应该信我,因为他的书里也提到我。47如果你们连他写的都不信,又怎能信我的话呢?”

The Healing at the Pool on the Sabbath
1After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.2Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic* called Bethesda,* which has five roofed colonnades.3In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed.*5One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.6When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?”7The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.”8Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.”9And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath.10So the Jews* said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.”11But he answered them, “The man who healed me, that man said to me, ‘Take up your bed, and walk.’”12They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?”13Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place.14Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you.”15The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.16And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.17But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”
Jesus Is Equal with God
18This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
The Authority of the Son
19So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father* does, that the Son does likewise.20For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel.21For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.22For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,23that 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.24Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.25“Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.26For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.27And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.28Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice29and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
Witnesses to Jesus
30“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.31If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true.32There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true.33You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.34Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.35He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.36But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me.37And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen,38and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent.39You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,40yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.41I do not receive glory from people.42But I know that you do not have the love of God within you.43I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.44How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?45Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope.46For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me.47But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
