Muri iho i enei mea he hakari ta nga Hurai; a haere ana a Ihu ki Hiruharama.

Na kei Hiruharama tetahi wai kaukauranga kei te tatau hipi, tona ingoa Hiperu ko Petehera; e rima ona whakamahau.

Na kei roto i enei e takoto ana tona tini o nga turoro, o nga matapo, o nga kopa, o nga memenge, e tatari ana ki te pokarekarenga o te wai.

Heke iho ai hoki tetahi anahera i te wa i rite ai ki te kaukauranga, whakapokarekare ai i te wai: a ko ia kua tae wawe i muri iho o te pokarekarenga o te wai i ora i tona mate, ahakoa he aha, he aha.

Na kei reira tetahi tangata, e toru tekau ma waru nga tau e mate ana.

No te kitenga o Ihu i a ia e takoto ana, ka matau kua roa ke te wa ona e mate ana, ka mea ki a ia, E pai ana ranei koe ki whakaorangia?

Ka whakahokia e taua turoro ki a ia, E te Ariki, kahore aku tangata hei tuku i ahau ki te kaukauranga, ina whakapokarekarea te wai: heoi i ahau e haere ana, ka heke iho tetahi i mua i ahau.

Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Whakatika, tangohia ake tou moenga, haere.

A ora tonu ake taua tangata, a tangohia ake ana e ia tona moenga, haere ana. Ko te hapati ano taua ra.

10 Na ka mea nga Hurai ki taua tangata i whakaorangia ra, Ko te hapati tenei: e kore e tika kia mauria e koe tou moenga.

11 Ka whakahokia e ia ki a ratou, Ko te tangata i whakaorangia ai ahau, nana i mea ki ahau, Tangohia ake tou moenga, haere.

12 Na ka ui ratou ki a ia, Ko wai tena tangata i mea na ki a koe, Tangohia ake toua moenga, haere?

13 Otira kihai taua tangata i whakaorangia ra i mohio ko wai ia: i pahemo atu hoki a Ihu, he tokomaha hoki nga tangata i taua wahi.

14 Muri iho i enei mea ka kite a Ihu i a ia i roto i te temepara, ka mea ki a ia, Na, ka oti nei koe te whakaora: kati te hara kei kino rawa iho te mea e pa ki a koe.

15 Haere ana taua tangata, korero ana ki nga Hurai, na Ihu ia i whakaora.

16 Koia nga Hurai i whai ai ki te tukino i a Ihu, mona i mea i enei mea i te hapati.

17 Na ka whakahokia e Ihu ki a ratou, E mahi ana toku Matua a taea noatia tenei ra; e mahi ana ano ahau.

18 Koia nga Hurai i tino whai rawa ai kia patua ia, ehara hoki i te mea ko tana takahi anake i te hapati, engari mona i mea ko te Atua tona Matua ake, i mea he rite ia ki te Atua te nui.

19 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, he pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore e taea e te Tama te mea tetahi mea e ia anake, engari nga mea e kite ai ia e meatia ana e te Matua: ko tana hoki e mea ai, e meatia ana hoki e a hoki e mea ai, e tama!

20 E aroha ano hoki te Matua ki te Tama, e whakakitea ana hoki ki a ia e nga mea katoa e mea ai ia: he nui atu i enei nga mahi e whakakitea e ia ki a ia, kia miharo ai koutou.

21 Ko ta te Matua hoki, he whakaara, he whakaora i nga tupapaku; ka pera ano te Tama, ka whakaora i ana e pai ai.

22 E kore hoki te Matua e whakawa i tetahi, engari kua tukua e ia nga whakawa katoa ki te Tama:

23 Kia rite ai te whakahonore a nga tangata katoa i te Tama ki ta ratou whakahonore i te Matua. Ki te kahore tetahi e whakahonore i te Tama, e whakakahore ana ia i te honore mo te Matua nana nei ia i tono mai.

24 He pono, he pono taku e mea atu nei ki a koutou, Ko te tangata e rongo ana ki taku korero, e whakapono ana hoki ki toku kaitono mai, he ora tonu tona; e kore ano ia e riro ki te whakawa, engari kua whiti i te mate ki te ora.

25 He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Meake puta te wa, a tenei ano inaianei, e rongo ai nga tupapaku i te reo o ta te Atua Tama; a ko te hunga e rongo ana ka ora.

26 Ta te mea he ora to te Matua kei roto i a ia; waihoki kua homai e ia ki te Tama, kia whai ora i roto i a ia;

27 A kua homai ano ki a ia he tikanga mo te whakawa, no te mea ko ia te Tama a te tangata.

28 Kaua e miharo ki tenei: no te mea meake puta te wa, e rongo ai i tona reo nga tangata katoa i roto i nga urupa,

29 A ka puta; ko nga kaimahi i te pai ki te aranga o te ora; ko nga kaimahi i te kino ki te aranga o te whakawa.

30 E kore e ahei i ahau te mea tetahi mea e ahau anake: rite tonu taku whakawa ki taku e rongo ai: he tika hoki taku whakawa; kahore hoki ahau e rapu i taku i pai ai, engari i ta toku kaitono i pai ai.

31 Mehemea ko ahau hei whakaatu i aku aha, i aku aha, ehara taku i te whakaatu pono.

32 Tera atu ano tetahi kaiwhakaatu moku; e mohio ana ano ahau he whakaatu pono tana e whakaatu nei moku.

33 I tono tangata koutou ki a Hoani, a i whakaaturia e ia te pono.

34 Kahore ahau e manako ki ta te tangata whakaatu: engari e korerotia ana e ahau enei mea kia ora ai koutou.

35 He rama ka tera, he rama marama tonu: he wa ano i pai ai koutou kia hari ki tona marama.

36 Otiia he kaiwhakaatu ano toku, nui atu i a Hoani: ko nga mahi hoki i homai e te Matua kia whakaotia e ahau, ko aua mahi e mahia nei e ahau, hei whakaatu moku, i tonoa mai ahau e te Matua.

37 Na, ko te Matua nana nei ahau i tono mai, kua oti ahau te whakaatu e ia. Kahore ano koutou i rongo noa i tona reo, kahore ano i kite i tona ahua.

38 Kahore ano hoki i mau tana kupu i roto i a koutou; ina kahore ano koutou i whakapono ki tenei i tonoa mai nei e ia.

39 Whakatakina ai e koutou nga tikanga o nga karaipiture; e mea ana hoki koutou kei reira te ora tonu mo koutou: ko enei hei kaiwhakaatu moku.

40 Heoi kahore koutou e pai kia haere mai ki ahau, kia whiwhi ai ki te ora.

41 He kororia tangata, kahore ahau e manako atu.

42 Na kua matau ahau ki a koutou, kahore te aroha o te Atua i roto i a koutou.

43 Kua tae mai nei ahau i runga i te ingoa o toku Matua, a kahore koutou e manako mai ki ahau; ki te haere mai tetahi i runga i tona ake ingoa, ka manako koutou ki a ia.

44 Me pehea koutou ka whakapono ai, ka riro nei i a koutou te kororia e puta ana i a koutou ano, a kahore e rapu i te kororia e puta ana i te Atua kotahi?

45 Kei mea koutou e korerotia to koutou he e ahau ki te Matua: tera te kaikorero mo to koutou he, ko Mohi, ko ta koutou e tumanako nei.

46 Me i whakapono hoki koutou ki a Mohi, kua whakapono ano ki ahau: ko tana hoki i tuhituhi ai he mea moku.

47 Otira ki te kahore koutou e whakapono ki ana i tuhituhi ai, me pehea ka whakapono ai ki aku korero?

The Healing at the Pool

Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate(A) a pool, which in Aramaic(B) is called Bethesda[a] and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. [4] [b] One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”

“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”

Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.”(C) At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked.

The day on which this took place was a Sabbath,(D) 10 and so the Jewish leaders(E) said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat.”(F)

11 But he replied, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’

12 So they asked him, “Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?”

13 The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.

14 Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning(G) or something worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jewish leaders(H) that it was Jesus who had made him well.

The Authority of the Son

16 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. 17 In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father(I) is always at his work(J) to this very day, and I too am working.” 18 For this reason they tried all the more to kill him;(K) not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.(L)

19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself;(M) he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son(N) and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these,(O) so that you will be amazed. 21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life,(P) even so the Son gives life(Q) to whom he is pleased to give it. 22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,(R) 23 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.(S)

24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me(T) has eternal life(U) and will not be judged(V) but has crossed over from death to life.(W) 25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come(X) when the dead will hear(Y) the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life(Z) in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge(AA) because he is the Son of Man.

28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming(AB) when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.(AC) 30 By myself I can do nothing;(AD) I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just,(AE) for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.(AF)

Testimonies About Jesus

31 “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.(AG) 32 There is another who testifies in my favor,(AH) and I know that his testimony about me is true.

33 “You have sent to John and he has testified(AI) to the truth. 34 Not that I accept human testimony;(AJ) but I mention it that you may be saved.(AK) 35 John was a lamp that burned and gave light,(AL) and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.

36 “I have testimony weightier than that of John.(AM) For the works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing(AN)—testify that the Father has sent me.(AO) 37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me.(AP) You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,(AQ) 38 nor does his word dwell in you,(AR) for you do not believe(AS) the one he sent.(AT) 39 You study[c] the Scriptures(AU) diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life.(AV) These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,(AW) 40 yet you refuse to come to me(AX) to have life.

41 “I do not accept glory from human beings,(AY) 42 but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts. 43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. 44 How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God[d]?(AZ)

45 “But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses,(BA) on whom your hopes are set.(BB) 46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.(BC) 47 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?”(BD)
