2Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.
3In these porches were lying a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water.
4For an angel from time to time descended into the pool and stirred up the water; therefore the first one having gone in after the stirring up of the water, became well of whatever disease he was suffering from.
5Now there was a certain man there who had an ailment for thirty-eight years.
6When Jesus saw this man lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you wish to become well?”
7The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I do not have a man, so that whenever the water is stirred up, he may put me into the pool; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”
8Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your bed and walk.”
9And immediately the man became well, and took up his bed, and began to walk. And that day was the Sabbath.
10Therefore the Jews said to the man who was healed, “It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.”
11He answered them, “He that made me whole, He said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.’ ”
12Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?”
13But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had turned aside, while a crowd was in that place.
14After these things Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “Behold, you have become well. Sin no more, lest something worse happens to you.”
15The man went away and reported to the Jews that Jesus was the One who had made him well.
16And on account of this the Jews began to persecute Jesus, and were seeking to kill Him, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.
17But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I am working.”
