John 5:5-10

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.”
