John 5:2-9
2 Now there is in Jerusalem by (A)the sheep gate a pool, which is called (B)in (a)Hebrew (b)Bethesda, having five porticoes.
3 In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, and withered, [(c)waiting for the moving of the waters;
4 for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was made well from whatever disease with which he was afflicted.]
5 A man was there who had been (d)ill for thirty-eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He *said to him, “Do you wish to get well?”
7 The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when (C)the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”
8 Jesus *said to him, “(D)Get up, pick up your pallet and walk.”
9 Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk.(E)Now it was the Sabbath on that day.
