John 5:2-9

2Now there is in Jerusalem, at the sheepgate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.

3In these lay a multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, [awaiting the moving of the water.

4For an angel descended at a certain season in the pool and troubled the water. Whoever therefore first went in after the troubling of the water became well, whatever disease he laboured under.]

5But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years.

6Jesus seeing this [man] lying [there], and knowing that he was [in that state] now a great length of time, says to him, Wouldest thou become well?

7The infirm [man] answered him, Sir, I have not a man, in order, when the water has been troubled, to cast me into the pool; but while I am coming another descends before me.

8Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy couch and walk.

9And immediately the man became well, and took up his couch and walked: and on that day was sabbath.
