John 5:1–9

^*After this there was ^aa feast of the Jews; and Jesus ^bwent up to Jerusalem. ²Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep ^||market a pool, which is called ^bbin the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. ³In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, ^cwithered, waiting for the moving of the water. ⁴For ^ccan angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. ⁵And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. ⁶When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? ⁷The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. ⁸Jesus saith unto him, ^dRise, take up thy bed, and walk. ⁹And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day ^ewas the sabbath.
