1. After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2. Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool called in Aramaic Bethzatha, which has five porticoes.
3. In these were lying a large number of those who were sick, blind, lame, paralyzed.
5. And a certain man was there who had been thirty-eight years in his sickness.
6. Jesus, when he saw this one lying there and knew that he had been sick a long time already, said to him, “Do you want to become well?”
7. The one who was sick answered him, “Sir, I do not have anyone that, whenever the water is stirred up, could put me into the pool. But while I am coming, another goes down before me.”
