John 5:2-7

2NowG1161 there is in JerusalemG2414 by 1the sheepG4262 gate a poolG2861, which is calledG1951 2in 3HebrewG1447 4BethesdaG964, havingG2192 fiveG4002 porticoesG4745.

3In theseG3778 layG2621 a multitudeG4128 of thoseG3588 who were sickG770, blindG5185, lameG5560, and witheredG3584, [5waitingG1551 for the movingG2796 of the watersG5204;

4for an angelG32 of the LordG2962 wentG2597 downG2597 at certainG2596 seasonsG2540 into the poolG2861 and stirredG5015 up the waterG5204; whoever thenG3767 firstG4413, afterG3326 the stirringG5016 up of the waterG5204, steppedG1684 in was madeG1096 wellG5199 from whateverG3739G1221 diseaseG3553 with whichG3739 he was afflictedG2722.]

5A manG444 was thereG1563 who had beenG2192 6illG769 for thirty-eightG5144G3638 yearsG2094.

6When JesusG2424 sawG3708 him lyingG2621 there, and knewG1097 that he had alreadyG2235 beenG2192 a longG4183 timeG5550 in that condition, He saidG3004 to him, “Do you wishG2309 to getG1096 wellG5199?”

7The sickG770 man answeredG611 Him, “SirG2962, I haveG2192 noG3756 manG444 to putG906 me into the poolG2861 whenG3752 7the waterG5204 is stirredG5015 up, but whileG1722G3739 I am comingG2064, anotherG243 stepsG2597 downG2597 beforeG4253 me.”
