John 5:5-7

5A man was there who had been 1ill for thirty-eight years.

6When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He said to him, “Do you wish to get well?”

7The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when 2the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”
