John 5:2-17

²And in Jerusalem is a washing place (or a pool), that in Hebrew is called Bethesda, and (it) hath five porches. Forsooth at Jerusalem is a standing water of beasts (or a watering pool for beasts), that in Hebrew is called Bethesda, having five little gates, or entries.

³In these lay a great multitude of sick men, blind, crooked (or lame), and dry (or withered), abiding (or waiting for) the moving or the stirring of the water.

⁴For the angel of the Lord came down (at) certain times into the standing water (or into the pool), and the water was moved; and he that first came down into the cistern, after the moving of the water, was made whole (or was healed) of whatever sickness he was held (by).

⁵And a man was there, having eight and thirty years in his sickness.

⁶And when Jesus had seen him lying (there), and had known, that he had much time (there), he saith to him, Wilt thou be made whole?

⁷The sick man answered to him, Lord, I have no man, (so) that when the water is moved or (it) is troubled, to put me into the cistern (or into the pool); for while I come, another goeth down before me.

⁸Jesus saith to him, Rise up, take thy bed, and go. (Jesus said to him, Get up, pick up thy bed, and go.)

⁹And anon the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and went forth. And it was sabbath in that day. (And at once the man was healed, and picked up his bed, and went forth. And that day was the Sabbath.)

¹⁰Therefore the Jews said to him that was made whole, It is (the) sabbath, it is not leaveful to thee, to take away thy bed. (And so the Jews said to him who was healed, It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.)

¹¹He answered to them, He that made me whole, said to me, Take (up) thy bed, and go. (He answered to them, He who healed me, said to me, Pick up thy bed, and go.)

¹²Therefore they asked him, What man is that or Who is that man, that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and go? (or Who said to thee, Pick up thy bed, and go?)

¹³But he that was made whole, wist not who it was, (or But he who was healed, did not know who it was). And Jesus (had) bowed away from the people, that was set in the place.

¹⁴Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Lo! thou art made whole, (or Behold! thou art healed); now do not thou do sin or now do not thou sin, lest any worse thing befall to thee.

¹⁵(Then) That man went, and told to the Jews, that it was Jesus that made him whole.

¹⁶Therefore the Jews pursued Jesus, for he did this thing in the sabbath. (And so the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did this miracle on the Sabbath.)

¹⁷And Jesus answered to them, My Father worketh till now, and I work.
