John 5:1-6

¹After this there was a Jewish festival, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

²Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda, and it has five roofed porches.

³A large number of people who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed were lying there.

⁵A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

⁶When Jesus saw him lying there, and after he realized that he had been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healthy?”
