John 5:5
John 5:5 And a certain man was there. With many others who thought the water had a healing power. His infirmity was probably paralysis.
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?”
7 The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”
8 Jesus said to him, a“Rise, take up your bed and walk.”
9 And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And athat day was the Sabbath.
10 The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath; ait is not lawful for you to carry your bed.”
11 He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.’ ”
12 Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?”
13 But the one who was ahealed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place.
