John 5:2-4

2Now there is in Jerusalem by 1the sheep gate a pool, which is called 2in 3Hebrew 4Bethesda, having five porticoes.

3In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, and withered, [5waiting for the moving of the waters;

4for 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.]
