OET (OET-LV) The Yaʸsous having_seen this one lying_down, and having_known that he_is_ already _having much time, he_is_saying to_him:
You_are_wanting healthy to_become?

OET (OET-RV) and when Yeshua noticed him and knew that he’d been there for so long, he asked, “Do you want to get better?”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:1–18: Jesus healed a lame man by a pool on the Sabbath

In this section Jesus healed a lame man who was lying by a pool of water. Because Jesus healed him on a Sabbath day, the Jewish leaders became angry. They believed that healing a person was work and that Jews should not work on the Sabbath.

The man who was healed did not know who had healed him. Then Jesus met this man in the temple. He told him that he should not sin anymore. The healed man went to the Jewish leaders and told them that it was Jesus who had healed him.

Here are some other possibilities for a section heading:

Jesus healed a lame man on the Sabbath.

Jewish leaders criticized Jesus for healing a man on the holy/rest day.

Paragraph 5:5–7

Jesus met a man who had been lame for thirty-eight (38) years. Jesus asked the man if he wanted to get well.

5:6a

When Jesus saw him lying there

When Jesus saw him lying there: Jesus noticed the lame man lying by the pool. In some languages it may be natural to translate this as an independent clause. For example:

Jesus saw him lying there (GNT)

Jesus saw the man lying there (GW)

5:6b

and realized that he had spent a long time in this condition,

and realized: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as realized can also mean “came to know.” For example:

knew (NRSV)

The text does not say how Jesus knew this. Perhaps someone told him, or perhaps God revealed it to him. It is best not to make explicit how Jesus knew.

he had spent a long time in this condition: The Greek expression that the BSB translates as he had spent a long time does not include a word meaning in this condition. The BSB has supplied it. There are in fact two ways to interpret the Greek text:

  1. It refers to the man’s condition, his illness. For example:

    the man had been sick for such a long time (GNT) (BSB, GNT, NIV, NLT, CEV, KJV, NASB, REB, NJB, NCV, GW, NET)

  2. It refers to the place where the man was lying. For example:

    he had already been there a long time (ESV) (NRSV, ESV)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1), along with most English translations.

5:6c

He asked him, “Do you want to get well?”

He asked him: Jesus asked the lame man a question. In some languages it may be natural to make one or both of the pronouns explicit. For example:

So Jesus asked the man (GW)

General Comment on 5:6c

In some languages it may be more natural to translate 5:6c as indirect speech. For example:

So Jesus asked the man if he wanted to get well.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

λέγει

˱he˲_˓is˒_saying

Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.
