John 5:3–7
New Revised Standard Version: Updated EditionOther versions
3In these lay many ill, blind, lame, and paralyzed people.v 5One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. 6When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be made well?” 7The ill man answered him, “Sir,w I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am making my way someone else steps down ahead of me.”
Footnotes
- vOther ancient authorities add, wholly or in part, waiting for the stirring of the water, 4for an angel of the Lord went down from time to time into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was made well from whatever disease that person had.

Within these lay a large number of the disabled—blind, lame, and paralyzed.
One man was there who had been disabled for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and realized he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to get well?”
“Sir,” the disabled man answered, “I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, someone goes down ahead of me.”
