1
GR Μετὰ ταῦτα ἦν ἑορτὴ τῶν Ἰουδαίων, καὶ ἀνέβη Ἰησοῦς εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα.
LA Post hæc erat dies festus Judæorum, et ascendit Jesus Jerosolymam.
EN After these things was a festival day of the Jews: and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
^1
2
GR ἔστιν δὲ ἐν τοῖς Ἱεροσολύμοις ἐπὶ τῇ προβατικῇ κολυμβήθρα, ἡ ἐπιλεγομένη Ἑβραϊστὶ Βηθζαθά, πέντε στοὰς ἔχουσα.
LA Est autem Jerosolymis probatica piscina, quæ cognominatur hebraice Bethsaida, quinque porticus habens.
EN Now there is at Jerusalem a pond, called Probatica, which in Hebrew is named Bethsaida, having five porches.
^2
[!note]- Probatica…
That is, the sheep pond; either so called, because the sheep were washed therein, that were to be offered up in sacrifice in the temple, or because it was near the sheep gate. That this was a pond where miracles were wrought is evident from the sacred text; and also that the water had no natural virtue to heal, as one only of those put in after the motion of the water was restored to health; for if the water had the healing quality, the others would have the like benefit, being put into it about the same time.
3
GR ἐν ταύταις κατέκειτο πλῆθος τῶν ἀσθενούντων, τυφλῶν, χωλῶν, ξηρῶν.
LA In his jacebat multitudo magna languentium, cæcorum, claudorum, aridorum, exspectantium aquæ motum.
EN In these lay a great multitude of sick, of blind, of lame, of withered: waiting for the moving of the water.
^3
4
LA Angelus autem Domini descendebat secundum tempus in piscinam, et movebatur aqua. Et qui prior descendisset in piscinam post motionem aquæ, sanus fiebat a quacumque detinebatur infirmitate.
EN And an angel of the Lord descended at certain times into the pond and the water was moved. And he that went down first into the pond after the motion of the water was made whole of whatsoever infirmity he lay under.

EN And there was a certain man there that had been eight and thirty years under his infirmity.
^5
6
GR τοῦτον ἰδὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς κατακείμενον, καὶ γνοὺς ὅτι πολὺν ἤδη χρόνον ἔχει, λέγει αὐτῷ: θέλεις ὑγιὴς γενέσθαι;
LA Hunc autem cum vidisset Jesus jacentem, et cognovisset quia jam multum tempus haberet, dicit ei: Vis sanus fieri?
EN Him when Jesus had seen lying, and knew that he had been now a long time, he said to him: Will you be made whole?
^6
7
GR ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ ὁ ἀσθενῶν: κύριε, ἄνθρωπον οὐκ ἔχω, ἵνα ὅταν ταραχθῇ τὸ ὕδωρ βάλῃ με εἰς τὴν κολυμβήθραν: ἐν ᾧ δὲ ἔρχομαι ἐγὼ ἄλλος πρὸ ἐμοῦ καταβαίνει.
LA Respondit ei languidus: Domine, hominem non habeo, ut, cum turbata fuerit aqua, mittat me in piscinam: dum venio enim ego, alius ante me descendit.
EN The infirm man answered him: Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pond. For whilst I am coming, another goes down before me.

LA Et statim sanus factus est homo ille: et sustulit grabatum suum, et ambulabat. Erat autem sabbatum in die illo.
EN And immediately the man was made whole: and he took up his bed and walked. And it was the sabbath that day.
^9
10
GR ἔλεγον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι τῷ τεθεραπευμένῳ: σάββατόν ἐστιν, καὶ οὐκ ἔξεστίν σοι ἆραι τὸν κράβαττόν.
LA Dicebant ergo Judæi illi qui sanatus fuerat: Sabbatum est, non licet tibi tollere grabatum tuum.

EN They asked him therefore: Who is that man who said to you: Take up your bed and walk?
^12
13
GR ὁ δὲ ἰαθεὶς οὐκ ᾔδει τίς ἐστιν: ὁ γὰρ Ἰησοῦς ἐξένευσεν ὄχλου ὄντος ἐν τῷ τόπῳ.
LA Is autem qui sanus fuerat effectus, nesciebat quis esset. Jesus enim declinavit a turba constituta in loco.
EN But he who was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus went aside from the multitude standing in the place.
^13
14
GR μετὰ ταῦτα εὑρίσκει αὐτὸν [ὁ] Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ: ἴδε ὑγιὴς γέγονας: μηκέτι ἁμάρτανε, ἵνα μὴ χεῖρόν σοί τι γένηται.
LA Postea invenit eum Jesus in templo, et dixit illi: Ecce sanus factus es; jam noli peccare, ne deterius tibi aliquid contingat.
EN Afterwards, Jesus finds him in the temple and said to him: Behold you are made whole: sin no more, lest some worse thing happen to you.

LA Jesus autem respondit eis: Pater meus usque modo operatur, et ego operor.
EN But Jesus answered them: My Father works until now; and I work.
^17
18
GR διὰ τοῦτο οὖν μᾶλλον ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἀποκτεῖναι, ὅτι οὐ μόνον ἔλυεν τὸ σάββατον, ἀλλὰ καὶ πατέρα ἴδιον ἔλεγεν τὸν θεόν, ἴσον ἑαυτὸν ποιῶν τῷ θεῷ.
LA Propterea ergo magis quærebant eum Judæi interficere: quia non solum solvebat sabbatum, sed et patrem suum dicebat Deum, æqualem se faciens Deo. Respondit itaque Jesus, et dixit eis:
EN Hereupon therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he did not only break the sabbath but also said God was his Father, making himself equal to God.
^18
19
GR Ἀπεκρίνατο οὖν [ὁ Ἰησοῦς] καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς: ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐ δύναται ὁ υἱὸς ποιεῖν ἀφ’ ἑαυτοῦ οὐδὲν, ἐὰν μή τι βλέπῃ τὸν πατέρα ποιοῦντα: ἃ γὰρ ἂν ἐκεῖνος ποιῇ, ταῦτα καὶ ὁ υἱὸς ὁμοίως ποιεῖ.
LA Amen, amen dico vobis: non potest Filius a se facere quidquam, nisi quod viderit Patrem facientem: quæcumque enim ille fecerit, hæc et Filius similiter facit.
EN Then Jesus answered and said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you, the Son cannot do anything of himself, but what he sees the Father doing: for what things soever he does, these the Son also does in like manner.
^19
20
GR ὁ γὰρ πατὴρ φιλεῖ τὸν υἱὸν καὶ πάντα δείκνυσιν αὐτῷ ἃ αὐτὸς ποιεῖ, καὶ μείζονα τούτων δείξει αὐτῷ ἔργα, ἵνα ὑμεῖς θαυμάζητε.
LA Pater enim diligit Filium, et omnia demonstrat ei quæ ipse facit: et majora his demonstrabit ei opera, ut vos miremini.
EN For the Father loves the Son and shows him all things which himself does: and greater works than these will he show him, that you may wonder.
^20
21
GR ὥσπερ γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ ἐγείρει τοὺς νεκροὺς καὶ ζῳοποιεῖ, οὕτως καὶ ὁ υἱὸς οὓς θέλει ζῳοποιεῖ.
LA Sicut enim Pater suscitat mortuos, et vivificat, sic et Filius, quos vult, vivificat.
EN For as the Father raises up the dead and gives life: so the Son also gives life to whom he will.
^21
22
GR οὐδὲ γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ κρίνει οὐδένα, ἀλλὰ τὴν κρίσιν πᾶσαν δέδωκεν τῷ υἱῷ,
LA Neque enim Pater judicat quemquam: sed omne judicium dedit Filio,
EN For neither does the Father judge any man: but has given all judgment to the Son.
^22
23
GR ἵνα πάντες τιμῶσι τὸν υἱὸν καθὼς τιμῶσι τὸν πατέρα. ὁ μὴ τιμῶν τὸν υἱὸν οὐ τιμᾷ τὸν πατέρα τὸν πέμψαντα αὐτόν.
LA ut omnes honorificent Filium, sicut honorificant Patrem; qui non honorificat Filium, non honorificat Patrem, qui misit illum.
EN That all men may honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honours not the Son honours not the Father who has sent him.
^23
24
GR ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ὁ τὸν λόγον μου ἀκούων καὶ πιστεύων τῷ πέμψαντί με ἔχει ζωὴν αἰώνιον, καὶ εἰς κρίσιν οὐκ ἔρχεται ἀλλὰ μεταβέβηκεν ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου εἰς τὴν ζωήν.
LA Amen, amen dico vobis, quia qui verbum meum audit, et credit ei qui misit me, habet vitam æternam, et in judicium non venit, sed transiit a morte in vitam.

26
GR ὥσπερ γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ ἔχει ζωὴν ἐν ἑαυτῷ, οὕτως καὶ τῷ υἱῷ ἔδωκεν ζωὴν ἔχειν ἐν ἑαυτῷ:
LA Sicut enim Pater habet vitam in semetipso, sic dedit et Filio habere vitam in semetipso:
EN For as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son also to have life in himself.
^26
27
GR καὶ ἐξουσίαν ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ κρίσιν ποιεῖν, ὅτι υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου ἐστίν.
LA et potestatem dedit ei judicium facere, quia Filius hominis est.

[!note]- Unto the resurrection of judgment…

30
GR οὐ δύναμαι ἐγὼ ποιεῖν ἀπ’ ἐμαυτοῦ οὐδέν: καθὼς ἀκούω κρίνω, καὶ ἡ κρίσις ἡ ἐμὴ δικαία ἐστίν, ὅτι οὐ ζητῶ τὸ θέλημα τὸ ἐμὸν ἀλλὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με
LA Non possum ego a meipso facere quidquam. Sicut audio, judico: et judicium meum justum est, quia non quæro voluntatem meam, sed voluntatem ejus qui misit me.
EN I cannot of myself do anything. As I hear, so I judge. And my judgment is just: because I seek not my own will but the will of him that sent me.
^30
31
GR ἐὰν ἐγὼ μαρτυρῶ περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ, ἡ μαρτυρία μου οὐκ ἔστιν ἀληθής:
LA Si ego testimonium perhibeo de meipso, testimonium meum non est verum.
EN If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
^31
32
GR ἄλλος ἐστὶν ὁ μαρτυρῶν περὶ ἐμοῦ, καὶ οἶδα ὅτι ἀληθής ἐστιν ἡ μαρτυρία ἣν μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ.
LA Alius est qui testimonium perhibet de me: et scio quia verum est testimonium, quod perhibet de me.
EN There is another that bears witness of me: and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true.
^32
33

LA Vos misistis ad Joannem, et testimonium perhibuit veritati.
EN You sent to John: and he gave testimony to the truth.

EN He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.
^35
36
GR ἐγὼ δὲ ἔχω τὴν μαρτυρίαν μείζω τοῦ Ἰωάννου: τὰ γὰρ ἔργα ἃ δέδωκέν μοι ὁ πατὴρ ἵνα τελειώσω αὐτά, αὐτὰ τὰ ἔργα ἃ ποιῶ μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ ὅτι ὁ πατήρ με ἀπέσταλκεν.
LA Ego autem habeo testimonium majus Joanne. Opera enim quæ dedit mihi Pater ut perficiam ea: ipsa opera, quæ ego facio, testimonium perhibent de me, quia Pater misit me:
EN But I have a greater testimony than that of John: for the works which the Father has given me to perfect, the works themselves which I do, give testimony of me, that the Father has sent me.
^36
37
GR καὶ ὁ πέμψας με πατὴρ, ἐκεῖνος μεμαρτύρηκεν περὶ ἐμοῦ. οὔτε φωνὴν αὐτοῦ πώποτε ἀκηκόατε, οὔτε εἶδος αὐτοῦ ἑωράκατε,
LA et qui misit me Pater, ipse testimonium perhibuit de me: neque vocem ejus umquam audistis, neque speciem ejus vidistis:

LA et verbum ejus non habetis in vobis manens: quia quem misit ille, huic vos non creditis.
EN And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he has sent, him you believe not.
^38
39
GR ἐραυνᾶτε τὰς γραφάς, ὅτι ὑμεῖς δοκεῖτε ἐν αὐταῖς ζωὴν αἰώνιον ἔχειν: καὶ ἐκεῖναί εἰσιν αἱ μαρτυροῦσαι περὶ ἐμοῦ:
LA Scrutamini Scripturas, quia vos putatis in ipsis vitam æternam habere: et illæ sunt quæ testimonium perhibent de me:
EN Search the scriptures: for you think in them to have life everlasting. And the same are they that give testimony of me.
^39
40
GR καὶ οὐ θέλετε ἐλθεῖν πρός με ἵνα ζωὴν ἔχητε.
LA et non vultis venire ad me ut vitam habeatis.

^42
43

LA Ego veni in nomine Patris mei, et non accipitis me; si alius venerit in nomine suo, illum accipietis.
EN I have come in the name of my Father, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.
^43
44
GR πῶς δύνασθε ὑμεῖς πιστεῦσαι, δόξαν παρὰ ἀλλήλων λαμβάνοντες, καὶ τὴν δόξαν τὴν παρὰ τοῦ μόνου [θεοῦ] οὐ ζητεῖτε;
LA Quomodo vos potestis credere, qui gloriam ab invicem accipitis, et gloriam quæ a solo Deo est, non quæritis?

^44

GR μὴ δοκεῖτε ὅτι ἐγὼ κατηγορήσω ὑμῶν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα: ἔστιν ὁ κατηγορῶν ὑμῶν Μωϋσῆς, εἰς ὃν ὑμεῖς ἠλπίκατε.
LA Nolite putare quia ego accusaturus sim vos apud Patrem: est qui accusat vos Moyses, in quo vos speratis.
EN Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one that accuses you, Moses, in whom you trust.
^45
46
GR εἰ γὰρ ἐπιστεύετε Μωϋσεῖ, ἐπιστεύετε ἂν ἐμοί: περὶ γὰρ ἐμοῦ ἐκεῖνος ἔγραψεν.
LA Si enim crederetis Moysi, crederetis forsitan et mihi: de me enim ille scripsit.
EN For if you did believe Moses, you would perhaps believe me also: for he wrote of me.
^46
47
GR εἰ δὲ τοῖς ἐκείνου γράμμασιν οὐ πιστεύετε, πῶς τοῖς ἐμοῖς ῥήμασιν πιστεύσετε;
LA Si autem illius litteris non creditis, quomodo verbis meis credetis?
EN But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?
^47
[!note]- Search the scriptures…
Or, You search the scriptures. Scrutamini, ereunat. It is not a command for all to read the scriptures; but a reproach to the Pharisees, that reading the scriptures as they did, and thinking to find everlasting life in them, they would not receive him to whom all those scriptures gave testimony, and through whom alone they could have that true life.
