3. A large crowd of sick people were lying in the porches — the blind, the lame, and the paralysed.
5. A man was there who had been ill for 38 years.
6. Jesus saw him lying there, and he knew that the man had been ill for such a long time; so he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
7. The sick man answered, “Sir, I have no one here to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up; while I am trying to get in, somebody else gets there first.”
8. Jesus said to him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”
