1Emva kwalokhu kwaba khona umkhosi wabaJuda; uJesu wakhuphukela eJerusalema.
2Kwakukhonake lapho eJerusalema eduze lesango lezimvu ichibi elithiwa ngesiHeberu iBethesda, elilamathuli amahlanu.
3Kwakulele kiwo abagulayo abanengi, iziphofu, iziqhuli, labatshwabheneyo.
5Kwakukhona lapho umuntu owayesegule iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lesificaminwembili.
6Kwathi nxa uJesu embona elele lapho, esazi ukuba ulesikhathi eside enjalo, wathi kuye: Uyathanda ukusiliswa na?
7Ogulayo wamphendula wathi: Nkosi, kangilamuntu wokungifaka echibini nxa amanzi ezanyazanyiswa; kuthi nxa ngiyayo, kwehle omunye phambi kwami.
8UJesu wathi kuye: Sukuma, uthathe ithala lakho, uhambe.
9Lowomuntu wasila masinyane, wathatha ithala lakhe, wahamba.
KwakuyiSabatha mhlalokho.
10Ngakho abaJuda bathi kosilisiweyo: KuyiSabatha, kakuvunyelwa ukuba uthwale ithala lakho.Ukumfakazela uJesu
30Mina ngingenze lutho ngokwami; ngithonisisa njengokuzwa kwami; ukuthonisisa kwami kulungile, ngoba kangifuni intando yami kodwa ngifuna intando yalowo ongithumileyo.
31Aluba ngizifakazela mina, ubufakazi bami kabulaqiniso.
32Ukhona ongifakazelayo mina; njalo ngiyazi ukuthi ubufakazi bakhe ngami buliqiniso.
33Lina lathumela kuJohane, walifakazela iqiniso.Joha 1:19–27; 3:27–30
34Kodwa kangibamukeli ubufakazi obuvela emuntwini; kodwa ngitsho lokhu ukuze lisiliswe.
35Yena wayeyisibane esivuthayo lesikhanyayo; lani lathokoza okwesikhatshana ekukhanyeni kwakhe.
36Kodwa ubufakazi engilabo bukhulu kulobukaJohane, ngoba imisebenzi uBaba anginike yona ukuba ngiyiqede, yona limisebenzi engiyenzayo, iyangifakazela ukuthi uBaba ungithumile.
37Laye uBaba ongithumileyo ungifakazele. Kalizanga lilizwe ilizwi lakhe, lesimo sakhe kalizanga lisibone.Mat 3:17; Mark 1:11; Luka 3:22
38Lelizwi lakhe kalihlalanga phakathi kwenu, ngoba kalikholwanga kulowo amthumileyo.
39Lihlola imibhalo, ngoba lisithi lilokuphila okungapheliyo kiyo; yiyo engifakazelayo.
40Kanti kalivumi ukuza kimi ukuba libe lokuphila.
41Mina angamukeli udumo ebantwini.
42Kodwa ngiyalazi lina ukuthi kalilalo uthando lukaNkulunkulu phakathi kwenu.
43Ngizile ebizweni likaBaba, kodwa kalingamukeli; uba omunye esiza ngebizo lakhe, lizakumamukela yena.
44Lingakholwa kanjani nxa lisadumisana lodwa, lingalufuni udumo oluvela kuNkulunkulu oyedwa na?
45Lingacabangi ukuthi ngizakuliceba kuBaba; ukhona olicebayo, uMose elithemba kuye.
46Uba belikholwa kuMose, belizakukholwa lakimi, ngoba yena waloba ngami.
47Kodwa uba lingakholwa imibhalo yakhe, lizakukholwa kanjani amazwi ami na?
