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 Bethesda, having five porches.
3. In these lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
4. for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the waters stepped in was made whole, with whatsoever disease he was holden.
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 now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wouldest thou be made whole?
