John 5:4 - Forerunner Commentary

John 5:4

2 Now there is in Jerusalem ^aby the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew,¹ Bethesda, having five porches.

3 In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame,¹ paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water.

4 For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had.

5 Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.

6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?”
