John 5:1-9

Williams(i) 1 After this there was a feast of the Jews, and so Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now in Jerusalem near the sheep-gate there is a pool called in Hebrew Bethzatha, which has five porticoes, 3 and in these there used to lie a great crowd of sick people, blind, crippled, paralyzed. 4 Omitted Text. 5 And there was one man there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 Jesus saw him lying there, and when He found out that he had been in that condition for a long time, He asked him, "Do you want to get well?" 7 The sick man answered, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is moved, but while I am trying to get down, somebody else steps down ahead of me." 8 Jesus said to him, "Get up, pick up your pallet, and go to walking." 9 And at once the man was well, and picked up his pallet, and went to walking. Now it was the Sabbath.
