3 and a crowd of people who were sick, blind, lame, and paralyzed sat there.
5 A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lying there, knowing that he had already been there a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to get well?"
7 The sick man answered him, "Sir, I don’t have anyone who can put me in the water when it is stirred up. When I’m trying to get to it, someone else has gotten in ahead of me."
8 Jesus said to him, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk."
9 Immediately the man was well, and he picked up his mat and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath.
10 The Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, "It’s the Sabbath; you aren’t allowed to carry your mat."
