1. AFTER these things was a festival day of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2. Now there is at Jerusalem a pond, called Probatica, which in Hebrew is named Bethsaida, having five porches.
3. In these lay a great multitude of sick, of blind, of lame, of withered; waiting for the moving of the water.
4. And an angel of the Lord descended at certain times into the pond; and the water was moved. And he that went down first into the pond after the motion of the water, was made whole, of whatsoever infirmity he lay under.
5. And there was a certain man there, that had been eight and thirty years under his infirmity.
6. Him when Jesus had seen lying, and knew that he had been now a long time, he saith to him: Wilt thou be made whole?
