1. After this there was a Jewish feast, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2. Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool called Bethzatha in Aramaic, which has five covered walkways.
3. A great number of sick, blind, lame, and paralyzed people were lying in these walkways.
5. Now a man was there who had been disabled for thirty-eight years.
6. When Jesus saw him lying there and when he realized that the man had been disabled a long time already, he said to him, “Do you want to become well?”
7. The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I am trying to get into the water, someone else goes down there before me.”
8. Jesus said to him, “Stand up! Pick up your mat and walk.”
