Evangelium secundum Ioannem, 5

1. post hæc erat dies festus Judæorum et ascendit Jesus Hierosolymis

1. After these things was a festival day of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2. est autem Hierosolymis super Probatica piscina quæ cognominatur hebraice Bethsaida quinque porticus habens

2. Now there is at Jerusalem a pond, called Probatica, which in Hebrew is named Bethsaida, having five porches.

3. in his jacebat multitudo magna languentium cæcorum claudorum aridorum expectantium aquæ motum

3. In these lay a great multitude of sick, of blind, of lame, of withered; waiting for the moving of the water.

4. []

4. 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.

5. erat autem quidam homo ibi triginta et octo annos habens in infirmitate sua

5. And there was a certain man there, that had been eight and thirty years under his infirmity.

6. hunc cum vidisset Jesus jacentem et cognovisset quia multum jam tempus habet dicit ei vis sanus fieri

6. Him when Jesus had seen lying, and knew that he had been now a long time, he saith to him: Wilt thou be made whole?

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 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 goeth down before me.

8. dicit ei Jesus surge tolle grabattum tuum et ambula

8. Jesus saith to him: Arise, take up thy 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 whole: and he took up his bed, and walked. And it was the sabbath that day.

10. dicebant Judæi illi qui sanatus fuerat sabbatum est non licet tibi tollere grabattum tuum

10. The Jews therefore said to him that was healed: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.

11. respondit eis qui me fecit sanum ille mihi dixit tolle grabattum tuum et ambula

11. He answered them: He that made me whole, he said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12. interrogaverunt ergo eum quis est ille homo qui dixit tibi tolle grabattum tuum et ambula

12. They asked him therefore: Who is that man who said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

13. is autem qui sanus fuerat effectus nesciebat quis esset Jesus enim declinavit turba constituta in loco

13. But he who was healed, knew not who it was; for Jesus went aside from the multitude standing in the place.

14. postea invenit eum Jesus in templo et dixit illi ecce sanus factus es jam noli peccare ne deterius tibi aliquid contingat

14. Afterwards, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and saith to him: Behold thou art made whole: sin no more, lest some worse thing happen to thee.

15. abiit ille homo et nuntiavit Judæis quia Jesus esset qui fecit eum sanum

15. The man went his way, and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole.

16. propterea persequebantur Judæi Jesum quia hæc faciebat in sabbato

16. Therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.

17. Jesus autem respondit eis Pater meus usque modo operatur et ego operor

17. But Jesus answered them: My Father worketh until now; and I work.

18. 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

18. 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.

19. amen amen dico vobis non potest Filius a se facere quicquam nisi quod viderit Patrem facientem quæcumque enim ille fecerit hæc et Filius similiter facit

19. Then Jesus answered, and said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you, the Son cannot do any thing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doth, these the Son also doth in like manner.

20. Pater enim diligit Filium et omnia demonstrat ei quæ ipse facit et majora his demonstrabit ei opera ut vos miremini

20. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which himself doth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that you may wonder.

21. sicut enim Pater suscitat mortuos et vivificat sic et Filius quos vult vivificat

21. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth life: so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.

22. neque enim Pater judicat quemquam sed judicium omne dedit Filio

22. For neither doth the Father judge any man, but hath given 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 men may honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father, who hath sent him.

24. amen amen dico vobis quia qui verbum meum audit et credit ei qui misit me habet vitam æternam et in judicium non venit sed transit a morte in vitam

24. Amen, amen I say unto you, that he who heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath life everlasting; and cometh not into judgment, but is passed from death to life.

25. amen amen dico vobis quia venit hora et nunc est quando mortui audient vocem Filii Dei et qui audierint vivent

25. Amen, amen I say unto you, that the hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live.

26. sicut enim Pater habet vitam in semet ipso sic dedit et Filio vitam habere in semet ipso

26. For as the Father hath life in himself, so he hath given the Son also to have life in himself:

27. et potestatem dedit ei et judicium facere quia Filius hominis est

27. And he hath given him power to do judgment, because he is the Son of man.

28. nolite mirari hoc quia venit hora in qua omnes qui in monumentis sunt audient vocem ejus

28. Wonder not at this; for the hour cometh, wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God.

29. et procedent qui bona fecerunt in resurrectionem vitæ qui vero mala egerunt in resurrectionem judicii

29. And they that have done good things, shall come forth unto the resurrection of life; but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.

30. non possum ego a me ipso facere quicquam sicut audio judico et judicium meum justum est quia non quæro voluntatem meam sed voluntatem ejus qui misit me

30. I cannot of myself do any thing. 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.

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 that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

33. vos misistis ad Johannem et testimonium perhibuit veritati

33. You sent to John, and he gave testimony to the truth.

34. ego autem non ab homine testimonium accipio sed hæc dico ut vos salvi sitis

34. But I receive not 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 ejus

35. He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.

36. ego autem habeo testimonium majus Johanne opera enim quæ dedit mihi Pater ut perficiam ea ipsa opera quæ ego facio testimonium perhibent de me quia Pater me misit

36. But I have a greater testimony than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to perfect; the works themselves, which I do, give testimony of me, that the Father hath sent me.

37. et qui misit me Pater ipse testimonium perhibuit de me neque vocem ejus umquam audistis neque speciem ejus vidistis

37. And the Father himself who hath sent me, hath given testimony of me: neither have you heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

38. et verbum ejus non habetis in vobis manens quia quem misit ille huic vos non creditis

38. And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him you believe not.

39. scrutamini scripturas quia vos putatis in ipsis vitam æternam habere et illæ sunt quæ testimonium perhibent de me

39. Search the scriptures, for you think in them to have life everlasting; and the same are they that give testimony of me.

40. et non vultis venire ad me ut vitam habeatis

40. And you will not come to me that you may have life.

41. claritatem ab hominibus non accipio

41. I receive glory not from men.

42. sed cognovi vos quia dilectionem Dei non habetis in vobis

42. But I know you, that you have not 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 am come in the name of my Father, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.

44. quomodo potestis vos credere qui gloriam ab invicem accipitis et gloriam quæ a solo est Deo non quæritis

44. How can you believe, who receive glory one from another: and the glory which is from God alone, you do not seek?

45. nolite putare quia ego accusaturus sim vos apud Patrem est qui accuset vos Moses in quo vos speratis

45. Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one that accuseth you, Moses, in whom you trust.

46. si enim crederetis Mosi crederetis forsitan et mihi de me enim ille scripsit

46. For if you did believe Moses, you would perhaps believe me also; for he wrote of 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?
