John 5:2 (show verse)

By the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem there is a pool, called Bethesda in Hebrew, which has five colonnades.

John 5:3 (show verse)

Within these lay a large number of the sick—blind, lame, and paralyzed [—waiting for the moving of the water,

John 5:4 (show verse)

because an angel would go down into the pool from time to time and stir up the water. Then the first one who got in after the water was stirred up recovered from whatever ailment he had].

John 5:5 (show verse)

One man was there who had been sick for 38 years.

John 5:6 (show verse)

When Jesus saw him lying there and knew he had already been there a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to get well?”

John 5:7 (show verse)

“Sir,” the sick man answered, “I don’t have a man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, someone goes down ahead of me.”

John 5:8 (show verse)

“Get up,” Jesus told him, “pick up your mat and walk!”

John 5:9 (show verse)

Instantly the man got well, picked up his mat, and started to walk.

Now that day was the Sabbath,

so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It’s illegal for you to pick up your mat.”

He replied, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’

John 5:17 (show verse)

But Jesus responded to them, “My Father is still working, and I am working also.”

John 5:19 (show verse)

John 5:24 (show verse)

“I assure you: Anyone who hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life.
