John 5:2-17

²And there is at Hierusalem by the place of the sheepe, a poole called in Ebrew Bethesda, hauing fiue porches:

³In the which lay a great multitude of sicke folke, of blinde, halte, and withered, wayting for the mouing of the water.

⁴For an Angel went downe at a certaine season into the poole, and troubled the water: whosoeuer then first, after the stirring of the water, stepped in, was made whole of whatsoeuer disease he had.

⁵And a certaine man was there, which had bene diseased eight and thirtie yeeres.

⁶When Iesus sawe him lie, and knew that he nowe long time had bene diseased, he saide vnto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

⁷The sicke man answered him, Sir, I haue no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the poole: but while I am comming, another steppeth downe before me.

⁸Iesus said vnto him, Rise: take vp thy bed, and walke.

⁹And immediatly the man was made whole, and tooke vp his bed, and walked: and the same day was the Sabbath.

¹⁰The Iewes therefore said to him that was made whole, It is the Sabbath day: it is not lawfull for thee to cary thy bed.

¹¹He answered them, He that made me whole, he said vnto me, Take vp thy bed, and walke.

¹²Then asked they him, What man is that which said vnto thee, Take vp thy bed and walke?

¹³And he that was healed, knewe not who it was: for Iesus had conueied himselfe away from the multitude that was in that place.

¹⁴And after that, Iesus founde him in the Temple, and said vnto him, Beholde, thou art made whole: sinne no more, lest a worse thing come vnto thee.

¹⁵The man departed and tolde the Iewes that it was Iesus, which had made him whole.

¹⁶And therefore the Iewes did persecute Iesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day.

¹⁷But Iesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I worke.
