1After these things there was the feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2Now there is at Jerusalem, by the sheep-gate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethzatha, having five porches.
3In these were lying a multitude of diseased persons, blind, lame, withered.
5And a certain man was there, who had had his infirmity thirty-eight years.
6Jesus saw this man lying there, and knowing that he had been for a long time diseased, saith to him, Dost thou wish to be made well?
