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.
