Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN 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 5:1–4

This paragraph introduces the story of how Jesus healed a lame man near the Bethesda pool.

5:1

Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

¶ Later, the Jews had/celebrated a festival, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem to be present for/at it.
¶ Afterward Jesus traveled to the city of Jerusalem to celebrate/attend one of the Jewish feasts.

Some time later: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as Some time later is a time setting for a new story. Use a phrase that is natural at the start of a new story. For example:

Afterward (NLT)

Later (NCV)

After this (NRSV)

a feast of the Jews: This phrase means “a Jewish religious feast.” The Jews went to Jerusalem several times a year for special religious ceremonies that included a large meal for each family. There is no clear evidence that tells us which feast this was. All English translations refer to it in a general way as a Jewish feast or festival. For example:

one of the Jewish festivals (REB)

a special Jewish feast

and: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates literally as and here introduces something that Jesus did because there was a Jewish festival. It can also be translated using another connector. For example:

so

Jesus went up to Jerusalem: The city of Jerusalem was built on a hill. So anyone going to the city had to walk up the hill to a higher place. See how you translated this word in 2:13.

In some languages, it is natural to say whether people travel up or down. In other languages, this will be unusual or confusing. If it is confusing in your language, you do not need to include the idea of going up. For example:

Jesus went to Jerusalem (CEV)

General Comment on 5:1

In some languages it may be natural to indicate the connection between the festival and Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem. For example:

Later, Jesus went to Jerusalem for a Jewish festival. (GW)

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

[5:1–4](../05/01.md) give background information about the setting of the story. Use the natural form in your language for expressing background information.

Note 2 topic: writing-newevent

μετὰ ταῦτα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μετά ταῦτα ἦν ἑορτή τῶν Ἰουδαίων καί ἀνέβη Ἰησοῦς εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα)

This phrase introduces a new event that happened some time after the events the story has just related. The story does not say how long after those events this new event happened. Use the natural form in your language for introducing a new event. Alternate translation: [Some time later]

ἀνέβη & εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα

went_up & to Jerusalem

Jerusalem is located on the top of a hill. Therefore, roads to Jerusalem went up. If your language has a different word for going up a hill than for walking on level ground or going down a gill, you should use it here.

Jesus’ Final Journey to Jerusalem

Much like the difficulties of discerning the Israelites’ journey to the Promised Land (see here), the task of reconciling the four Gospel accounts of Jesus’ final journey to Jerusalem into one coherent itinerary has proven very challenging for Bible scholars. As with many other events during Jesus’ ministry, the accounts of Matthew, Mark, and Luke (often referred to as the Synoptic Gospels) present a noticeably similar account of Jesus’ final travels, while John’s Gospel presents an itinerary that is markedly different from the others. In general, the Synoptic Gospels present Jesus as making a single journey to Jerusalem, beginning in Capernaum (Luke 9:51), passing through Perea (Matthew 19:1-2; Mark 10:1) and Jericho (Matthew 20:29-34; Mark 10:46-52; Luke 18:35-19:10), and ending at Bethany and Bethphage, where he enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey (Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-44). John, on the other hand, mentions several trips to Jerusalem by Jesus (John 2:13-17; 5:1-15; 7:1-13; 10:22-23), followed by a trip to Perea across the Jordan River (John 10:40-42), a return to Bethany where he raises Lazarus from the dead (John 11), a withdrawal to the village of Ephraim for a few months (John 11:54), and a return trip to Bethany, where he then enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey (John 12:1-19). The differences between the Synoptics’ and John’s accounts are noteworthy, but they are not irreconcilable. The Synoptics, after noting that Jesus began his trip at Capernaum, likely condensed their accounts (as occurs elsewhere in the Gospels) to omit Jesus’ initial arrival in Jerusalem and appearance at the Festival of Dedication, thus picking up with Jesus in Perea (stage 2 of John’s itinerary). Then all the Gospels recount Jesus’ trip (back) to Bethany and Jerusalem, passing through Jericho along the way. Likewise, the Synoptics must have simply omitted the few months Jesus spent in Ephraim to escape the Jewish leaders (stage 4 of John’s itinerary) and rejoined John’s account where Jesus is preparing to enter Jerusalem on a donkey.
