John 5:1-6

1Later, Jesus went to Jerusalem for a Jewish festival.

2Near Sheep Gate in Jerusalem was a pool called Bethesda in Hebrew. It had five porches.

3Under these porches a large number of sick people—people who were blind, lame, or paralyzed—used to lie.

5One man, who had been sick for 38 years, was lying there.

6Jesus saw the man lying there and knew that he had been sick for a long time. So Jesus asked the man, “Would you like to get well?”
