3. In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralysed, waiting for the moving of the water;
4. for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.
5. A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
6. When Yeshua saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to be made well?”
7. The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.”
8. Yeshua said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”
9. Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked.Now it was the Sabbath on that day.
10. So the Judeans said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”
