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.”
8. Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk!”
9. And immediately the man became well and picked up his mat and began to walk. (Now it was the Sabbath on that day.)
