1 After this, Jesus went to Jerusalem for a religious festival.
2 Near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem there is a pool with five porches; in Hebrew it is called Bethzatha.
3 A large crowd of sick people were lying on the porches—the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.
5 A man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
6 Jesus saw him lying there, and he knew that the man had been sick for such a long time; so he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
