43:005:001 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
43:005:002 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
43:005:003 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
43:005:004 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.
43:005:005 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
43:005:006 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?
43:005:007 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.
43:005:008 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
43:005:009 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
43:005:010 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
