1 After these things was a feast of the Jews, and went up the Jesus to Jerusalem.

2 Is now in the Jerusalem, by the sheepgate, a swimming bath, that being called in Hebrew Bethesda, five porches having.

3 In these were lying a multitude great of those sick, blind, blame, withered waiting the of the water moving.

4 A messenger for at a season went down in the swimmingbath, and agitated the water; he then first stepping in after the agitation of the water, sound became, who indeed was held by disease.

5 Was and a certain man there, thirty and eight years being in the feeble health.

6 This seeing the Jesus lying, and knowing that long already time he had been, he says to him: Do thou wish sound to become?

7 Answered him he sick being: O sir, a man not I have, that when may be agitated the water, he may put me into the swimmingbath; in which but am coming I, another before me goes down.

8 Says to him the Jesus: Rise, take up the bed of thee, and walk.

9 And immediately became sound the man, and took up the bed of himself, and walked. It was and a sabbath in that the day.
