⁵One man was there, who had been ill for thirty-eight years. ⁶When Jesus saw him and knew that he had been lying there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” ⁷The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled, and while I am going another steps down before me.” ⁸Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your pallet, and walk.” ⁹And at once the man was healed, and he took up his pallet and walked.

Now that day was the sabbath. ¹⁰So the Jews said to the man who was cured, “It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for you to carry your pallet.” ¹¹But he answered them, “The man who healed me said to me, ‘Take up your pallet, and walk.’ ” ¹²They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your pallet, and walk’?” ¹³Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. ¹⁴Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse befall you.” ¹⁵The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.
