1. After these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2. Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches.
3. In these lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, withered.
5. And a certain man was there, which had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity.
6. When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wouldest thou be made whole?
7. The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
8. Jesus saith unto him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9. And straightway the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the sabbath on that day.
10. So the Jews said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.
