\subsection{\John 5}
|
|
\subsubsection{Healing a Paralytic at the Pool of Bethesda}
|
|
\lettrine[lraise=0]{A}{fter} these [things] was the feast of the Jews,
|
|
and \Iesous went up into Jerusalem.
|
|
\VS{2} But there is in Jerusalem near the sheepgate [a] pool,
|
|
being called in Hebrew Bethzatha, having five porches.
|
|
\VS{3} In them lay multitudes of sick, blind, lame, [and] withered\footnote{``Paralyzed''}%
|
|
\footnote{Add ``awaiting movement of the water.''
|
|
\koine{}D \vulgate{}; text: \papyrus{66,75},\hesychian{}B }.
|
|
|
|
[\VS{4} For [an] angel of the lord according to [the] opportune-time
|
|
was coming down to the pool and was disturbing
|
|
the water; so the first having gotten in after the disturbance of the
|
|
water became whole in that very moment for the sickness he was having.]\footnote{insert
|
|
vs.4: \koine{}; omit vs.4: \papyrus{66,75}\hesychian{}BDW}
|
|
|
|
\VS{5} Now [a] certain man\fnAnthropos{}
|
|
was there having thirty-eight years in his sickness.
|
|
\VS{6} When \Iesous saw this [man] lying,
|
|
and having known that he has already much time [there] he says to him:
|
|
Do you want to became healthy?
|
|
\VS{7} The sick [man] answered him:
|
|
Lord, I do not have someone%
|
|
\fnAnthropos{} that when the water be disturbed he throw me into the pool;
|
|
but when I come, another gets in before me.
|
|
\VS{8} \Iesous says to him: Be arising, pick up your bed and be walking.
|
|
\VS{9} And immediately the man became healthy and picked up his bed and was walking.
|
|
Now it was the Sabbath in that hour.
|
|
|
|
\VS{10} So the Jews were saying to the [one] having been healed:
|
|
It is the Sabbath, and it is not allowed for you to pick up your bed.
|
|
\VS{11} But he answered them:
|
|
The [one] who made me healthy, that [one] said to me: Pick up your bed and be walking.
|
|
\VS{12} They asked him,
|
|
Who is the man who said to you:
|
|
Pick up your bed and be walking?
|
|
\VS{13} Now the [one] having been healed did not know who he is,
|
|
for \Iesous withdrew from the crowd being in that place.
|
|
|
|
\VS{14} After these [things] \Iesous finds him in the temple and said to him:
|
|
See, you have become healthy; no longer be sinning,
|
|
that something worse not come to pass for you.
|
|
\VS{15} The man departed and declared to the Jews that \Iesous is
|
|
the [one] having made him healthy.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Responding to Jewish Leaders}
|
|
\VS{16} And because of this the Jews were persecuting \Iesous,
|
|
because he did these [things] on the Sabbath.
|
|
\VS{17} But he answered them:
|
|
My father works until now%
|
|
\footnote{Behind \Iesous' explanation may lie Jewish traditions
|
|
of God's unceasing providential activities,
|
|
which continue on the Sabbath ---
|
|
``God Himself has been working on every Sabbath''
|
|
or else Creation would come to a halt.
|
|
One of these activities would be presiding over birth and death
|
|
(in Jewish theology judgement happened at death).
|
|
Life, death and judgement all figure in \Iesous' discourse which follows.}
|
|
and I [also] work;
|
|
\VS{18} So because of this the Jews were seeking [even] more to kill [him],
|
|
for he not only loosed the Sabbath, but he also was saying God [is his] own father,
|
|
making himself equal to God.
|
|
|
|
\VS{19} So \Iesous was answering and was saying to them:
|
|
Truly truly I say to you,
|
|
the son is \negd{not} able to be doing anything from himself,
|
|
except what he may see the father doing.
|
|
For what that [one] may do, these [things] the son also likewise does.%
|
|
\footnote{This could be understood in the sense of a son learning his father's ``trade''
|
|
by watching and imitating him, a standard practice of the day.}
|
|
\VS{20} For the father philia-loves the son and reveals everything to him which he does,
|
|
and greater works than these he reveals to him, that you marvel.
|
|
\VS{21} For as the father raises the dead and makes-\zoe{}-alive%
|
|
\footnote{Or ``gives-\zoe{}-life''. From the verb \ZOOPOIEO{} ---
|
|
ZŌO ``life'' + POIEŌ ``to make''},
|
|
likewise also the son makes \zoe{}-alive whom he wishes.
|
|
\VS{22} For the father judges \negd{no one}, but he has given all judgment to the son,
|
|
\VS{23} that all honor\fnTimao{} the son just as they may honor the father.
|
|
The [one] not honoring the son does not honor the father who sent him.
|
|
|
|
\VS{24} Truly truly I say to you that the [one] hearing my word and
|
|
trusting\fnPistisJohn{} the [one] having sent me has \zoe{}-life\fnZoe{} eternal,
|
|
and does not come into judgment,
|
|
but is moved out of death into \zoe{}-life\fnZoe{}.
|
|
\VS{25} Truly truly I say to you that [the] hour comes and now is
|
|
when the dead will hear the cry of the Son of God and those having heard will \zoe{}-live.
|
|
\VS{26} For as the father has \zoe{}-life\fnZoe{} in himself,
|
|
likewise also to the son he has given \zoe{}-life\fnZoe{} to be having in himself.
|
|
\VS{27} And he gave him authority to be doing judgment,
|
|
because he is [a] Son of Humanity\fnAnthropos{}.
|
|
|
|
\VS{28} Be not marveling at this,
|
|
that [the] hour comes in which all those in the graves will hear his voice,
|
|
\VS{29} and those having done good will come out to [the] resurrection of \zoe{}-life\fnZoe{},
|
|
[but] those having done [as a practice] worthless%
|
|
\footnote{or ``trivial'', ``petty''} [things]
|
|
will come out to [the] resurrection of judgment.
|
|
\VS{30} For I am \negd{not} able to be doing anything from myself;
|
|
just as I hear do I judge, and my judgment is just,
|
|
because I do not seek my own will but the will of the [one] having sent me.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{More Testimony About \Iesous}
|
|
\VS{31} If I witness concerning myself, my witness is not true.
|
|
\VS{32} Another is witness concerning me, and I know that the witness is true
|
|
that he witnessed concerning me.
|
|
\VS{33} You sent to \John, and he has witnessed to the truth;
|
|
\VS{34} but I do not receive witness by people\fnAnthropos{},
|
|
but I say these [things] that you be saved.
|
|
\VS{35} He was the burning and shining lamp
|
|
and you wanted to rejoice for [an] hour in his light.
|
|
|
|
\VS{36} But I have [a] witness greater than \John;
|
|
for the works that the father has given me in order that I complete%
|
|
\footnote{or ``perfect''}
|
|
them, these works themselves which I do witness concerning me that the father has sent me.
|
|
\VS{37} And the father having sent me, he has witnessed concerning me.
|
|
Neither his voice have you ever heard nor his visible-form have you ever seen,
|
|
\VS{38} and his word\fnLogos{} you do not have abiding in you,
|
|
because he whom that [one] has sent, in him do you not believe.
|
|
\VS{39} You search the scriptures,
|
|
because you suppose in them to be having \zoe{}-life\fnZoe{} eternal,
|
|
and these are those witnessing concerning me.
|
|
\VS{40} And you do not want to come to me in order that you have \zoe{}-life\fnZoe{}.
|
|
\VS{41} I do not receive glory from people\fnAnthropos{},
|
|
\VS{42} but I have known you that you do not have the agape-love of God in yourselves.
|
|
\VS{43} I am come in the name of my father,
|
|
and you do not receive me;
|
|
if another come in his own name,
|
|
him you will receive.
|
|
\VS{44} How are you able to trust\fnPistisJohn{}, receiving glory from each other,
|
|
and the glory of the only God%
|
|
\footnote{``God'' \sinaiticus{}D\hesychian{}\koine{} \vulgate{};
|
|
``[one]'' \papyrus{66,75} BW}
|
|
you do not seek?
|
|
|
|
\VS{45} Be not supposing that I will accuse you to the father,
|
|
the [one] accusing you is \Moses, in whom you have hoped.
|
|
\VS{46} For if you were trusting\fnPistisJohn{} \Moses, you would have trusted me;
|
|
for concerning me did that [one] write.
|
|
\VS{47} But if you do not trust the writings of that [one], how will you
|
|
trust in my words?
