For an angel of the Lord went down from time to time into the pool and stirred up the water; and whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was made well of whatever disease he had.
A certainτιςmanἄνθρωποςwasἦνthereἐκεῖwho had beenἔχωνinἐνhis illnessτῇ ἀσθενείᾳ αὐτοῦthirty-eightτριάκοντα ὀκτὼyears.ἔτη
When Jesusὁ Ἰησοῦςsawἰδὼνhimτοῦτονlying thereκατακείμενονandκαὶknewγνοὺςthatὅτιhe had alreadyἤδηbeen in that conditionἔχειa longπολὺνtime,χρόνονhe saysλέγειto him,αὐτῷ“Do you wantΘέλειςto becomeγενέσθαιwell?”ὑγιὴς
The sick manὁ ἀσθενῶνansweredἀπεκρίθηhim,αὐτῷ“Sir,ΚύριεI haveἔχωnoοὐκoneἄνθρωπονtoἵναputβάλῃmeμεintoεἰςthe poolτὴν κολυμβήθρανwhenὅτανthe waterτὸ ὕδωρis stirred up;ταραχθῇandδὲwhileἐν ᾧIἐγὼam coming,ἔρχομαιanotherἄλλοςgoes downκαταβαίνειbeforeπρὸme.”ἐμοῦ
Jesusὁ Ἰησοῦςsaysλέγειto him,αὐτῷ“Get up,Ἔγειρεpick upἆρονyour mat,τὸν κράβαττόν σουandκαὶwalk.”περιπάτει
Andκαὶat onceεὐθέωςthe manὁ ἄνθρωποςbecameἐγένετοwell,ὑγιὴςandκαὶhe picked upἦρεhis matτὸν κράβαττον αὐτοῦandκαὶbegan to walk.περιεπάτειNowδὲit wasἮνthe Sabbathσάββατονonἐνthat day.ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ
Soοὖνthe Jewsοἱ Ἰουδαῖοιwere sayingἔλεγονto the man who had been healed,τῷ τεθεραπευμένῳ“It isἐστινthe Sabbath,Σάββατόνandκαὶit is notοὐκlawfulἔξεστίνfor youσοιto pick upἆραιyour mat.”τὸν κράβαττον
Butδὲheὃςansweredἀπεκρίθηthem,αὐτοῖς“The one whoὉmadeποιήσαςmeμεwell,ὑγιῆheἐκεῖνόςsaidεἶπενto me,μοι‘Pick upἎρονyour matτὸν κράβαττόν σουandκαὶwalk.’”περιπάτει
They askedἠρώτησανhim,αὐτόν“WhoΤίςisἐστινthe manὁ ἄνθρωποςwhoὁsaidεἰπώνto you,σοι‘Pick it upἎρονandκαὶwalk’?”περιπάτει
Butδὲthe man who had been healedὁ ἰαθεὶςdid notοὐκknowᾔδειwhoτίςit was,ἐστινforγὰρJesusὁ Ἰησοῦςhad slipped away,ἐξένευσενthere beingὄντοςa crowdὄχλουinἐνthe place.τῷ τόπῳ
Afterμετὰthese thingsταῦταJesusὁ Ἰησοῦςfindsεὑρίσκειhimαὐτὸνinἐνthe templeτῷ ἱερῷandκαὶsaidεἶπενto him,αὐτῷ“Look,Ἴδεyou have becomeγέγοναςwell.ὑγιὴςSinἁμάρτανεno more,μηκέτιso thatἵναnothingμὴ τιworseχεῖρόνmay happenγένηταιto you.”σοί
The manὁ ἄνθρωποςwent awayἀπῆλθενandκαὶtoldἀνήγγειλενthe Jewsτοῖς Ἰουδαίοιςthatὅτιit wasἐστινJesusἸησοῦςwhoὁhad madeποιήσαςhimαὐτὸνwell.ὑγιῆ
Andκαὶfor this reasonδιὰ τοῦτοthe Jewsοἱ Ἰουδαῖοιwere persecutingἐδίωκονJesus,τὸν Ἰησοῦνbecauseὅτιhe was doingἐποίειthese thingsταῦταonἐνthe Sabbath.σαββάτῳ
Butδὲheὁansweredἀπεκρίνατοthem,αὐτοῖς“My FatherὉ πατήρ μουhas been workingἐργάζεταιuntilἕωςnow,ἄρτιand Iκἀγὼam working.”ἐργάζομαι
For this reasonδιὰ τοῦτοthereforeοὖνthe Jewsοἱ Ἰουδαῖοιwere seekingἐζήτουνall the moreμᾶλλονto killἀποκτεῖναιhim,αὐτὸνbecauseὅτιhe was notοὐonlyμόνονbreakingἔλυεthe Sabbath,τὸ σάββατονbutἀλλὰhe was alsoκαὶcallingἔλεγεGodτὸν θεόνhis ownἴδιονFather,πατέραmakingποιῶνhimselfἑαυτὸνequalἴσονto God.τῷ θεῷ
