John 5:2–6

2 By the Sheep Gateaa in Jerusalem there is a pool, called BethesdaG in Aramaic, which has five colonnades. 3 Within these lay a large number of the disabled—blind, lame, and paralyzed.*

5 One man was there who had been disabled for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and realized he had already been there a long time,ab he said to him, “Do you want to get well?”
