John 5:1-8
1
Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2
Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.
3
On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.
5
One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
6
When Jesus saw him lying there and realized that he had spent a long time in this condition, He asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
7
“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am on my way, someone else goes in before me.”
8
Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”
