John 5:5–15

⁵But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years. ⁶Jesus seeing this man lying there, and knowing that he was in that state now a great length of time, says to him, Wouldest thou become well? ⁷The infirm man answered him, Sir, I have not a man, in order, when the water has been troubled, to cast me into the pool; but while I am coming another descends before me. ⁸Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy couch and walk. ⁹And immediately the man became well, and took up his couch and walked: and on that day was sabbath. ¹⁰The Jews therefore said to the healed man, It is sabbath, it is not permitted thee to take up thy couch. ¹¹He answered them, He that made me well, he said to me, Take up thy couch and walk. ¹²They asked him therefore, Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy couch and walk? ¹³But he that had been healed knew not who it was, for Jesus had slidden away, there being a crowd in the place. ¹⁴After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art become well: sin no more, that something worse do not happen to thee. ¹⁵The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
