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

2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep [gate] a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethzatha, having five porches.

3 In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, [and] withered.

5 And a certain man was there, who had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity.

6 When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been [sick] now a long time, he says to him, Do you want to be made whole?

7 The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steps down before me.

8 Jesus says to him, Arise, take up your bed, and walk.

9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.
