After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.(Juan 5:1)
Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.(Juan 5:2)
In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.(Juan 5:3)
For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.(Juan 5:5)
When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?(Juan 5:6)
The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.(Juan 5:7)
