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

2 Now there is in Jerusalem, at the Sheep-gate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethzatha,having, five porches.

3 In these, was lying a throng of them who were sick,blind, lame, withered.

5 And there was a certain man there, who, for thirty-eight years, had continued in his sickness.

6 Jesus, seeing, this one, lying, and taking note that now, a long time, had he continued, saith unto himDesirest thou to be made, well?

7 The sick man answered himSir! I have, no man, that, as soon as the water hath been troubled, might thrust me into the pool; but, while, I, am coming, another, before me, goeth down.

8 Jesus saith unto himRise! take up thy couch, and be walking.

9 And, straightway, the man was made well and took up his couch, and began to walk. Now it was Sabbath, on that day.
