1 After these was the festival of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 And there is in Jerusalem, at the sheep place a pool, in Hebrew called Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of weak, blind, lame, withered, expecting the moving of the water. 4 For a messenger at a time went down into the pool, and troubled the water: then he having first stepped in after the troubling of the water became healthy, by whatever malady a long while since he was laid. 5 And a certain man was there, being in weakness thirty-eight years. 6 Jesus having seen the same lying down, and having known that it was already much time, says to him, Wilt thou be well? 7 He being sick answered him, Lord, I have no man, that, when the water was troubled, he might cast me into the pool: and in which I am coming, another steps down before me.
