John 5:1–9

*After this there was aa feast of the Jews; and Jesus bwent up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep ||market a pool, which is called bbin the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, cwithered, waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For 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. 5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 6 When 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? 7 The 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. 8 Jesus saith unto him, dRise, take up thy bed, and walk. 9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day ewas the sabbath.
