5. and there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty and eight years,
6. him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, he saith to him, `Dost thou wish to become whole?'
7. The ailing man answered him, `Sir, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another doth go down before me.'
8. Jesus saith to him, `Rise, take up thy couch, and be walking;'
9. and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day,
10. the Jews then said to him that hath been healed, `It is a sabbath; it is not lawful to thee to take up the couch.'
11. He answered them, `He who made me whole--that one said to me, Take up thy couch, and be walking;'
12. they questioned him, then, `Who is the man who is saying to thee, Take up thy couch and be walking?'
