John 5:2-9

2Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic called Bethesda, which has five roofed colonnades.

3In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed.

5One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

6When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be healed?"

7The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me."

8Jesus said to him, "Get up, take up your bed, and walk."

9And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath.
