2. Now in Jerusalem there is a pool by the sheep gate, called Bethzatha in Aramaic, which has five porches.
3. In these a crowd of invalids was lying around—blind, lame, disabled.
5. Now a certain man had been an invalid there for thirty-eight years.
6. Seeing him lying there and knowing he had been that way a long time, Yeshua said to him, “Do you want to get well?”
7. The invalid answered Him, “Sir, I have nobody to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I’m trying to get in, somebody else steps down before me!”
8. Yeshua tells him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk!”
9. Immediately, the man was healed! He took up his mat and started walking around. Now that day was Shabbat,
10. so Judean leaders were saying to the man who was healed, “It’s Shabbat! It’s not permitted for you to carry your mat.”
