2 And 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.
3 In 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.
4 For 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).
5 And a man was there, having eight and thirty years in his sickness.
6 And 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?
7 The 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.
8 Jesus saith to him, Rise up, take thy bed, and go. (Jesus said to him, Get up, pick up thy bed, and go.)
9 And 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.)
10 Therefore 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.)
