3 in which lay a greate multitude of sycke folke, of blinde halt and withered, waitinge for the mouyng of the water.
4 For an angell went doune at a certaine ceason into the pole and troubled the water. Whosoeuer then fyrste after the steringe of the water, stepped in, was made whole of whatsoeuer disease he had.
5 And a certayne man was there whyche had ben diseased .xxxviij. yeares.
6 When Iesus sawe hym lye and knewe that he nowe longe tyme had bene diseased, he said vnto hym: Wylt thou be made whole?
7 The sicke man aunswered hym. Syr I haue no man when the water is troubled to put me into the pole. But in the meane time while I am about to come, another steppeth doune before me.
8 And Iesus sayde vnto him: ryse take vp thy bed, and walke.
9 And immediatly the man was made whole, and toke vp his bedde, and went. And the same day was the saboth daye.
