3 In these lay a great multitude of invalid folk, of blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 For an angel went down at a certain time 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.
5 And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been now a long time in that condition, he said unto him,
7 The invalid 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 steps down before me.
8 Jesus said unto him,
9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and that same day was the sabbath.
