3 In these lay a great crowd of invalids, blind, lame, and 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. After the stirring of the water, whoever stepped in first was healed of whatever disease he had.
5 A certain man was there who had an illness for thirty-eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been in that condition now a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be healed?”
7 The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred. But while I am coming, another steps down before me.”
8 Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.”
9 Immediately the man was healed, took up his bed, and walked.That day was the Sabbath.
