4for an angel went down from time to time into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease that person had.
5A certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.
6When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been sick for a long time, He asked him, “Do you want to be made well?”
7The sick man answered, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.”
8Jesus told him, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk.”
9Immediately, the man was made well, took up his mat, and walked. That was on the Sabbath day.
