John 5:1-9

ACV(i) 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 place pertaining to sheep, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of those who are feeble, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the movement of the water. 4 For an agent went down at a certain time into the pool, and agitated the water. Therefore the first man who stepped in after the agitation of the water became well from whatever affliction he had. 5 And a certain man was there who was thirty-eight years in the weakness. 6 When Jesus saw this man lying down, and knew that he fares now a long time, he says to him, Do thou desire to become well? 7 The infirmed man answered him, Sir, I have no man so that when the water is agitated he might put me into the pool, but while I am coming another steps down before me. 8 Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy bed and walk. 9 And straightaway the man became well, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was sabbath on that day.
