John 5:1-9

The Healing at Bethesda

After these things there was ^aa feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem by ^athe sheep gate a pool, which is called ^bin ¹Hebrew ²Bethesda, having five porticoes. 3 In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, and withered, ¹[waiting for the moving of the waters; 4 for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was made well from whatever sickness with which he was afflicted.] 5 And a man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been sick a long time, He *said to him, “Do you wish to get well?” 7 The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when ^athe water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” 8 Jesus *said to him, “^aGet up, pick up your mat and walk.” 9 And immediately the man became well, and picked up his mat and began to walk.
^aNow it was the Sabbath on that day.
