John 5:2-9
2 Now in Jerusalem, by athe Sheep Gate, there is a pool which bin ▼▼I.e., Jewish Aramaic
Hebrew is called ▼▼Some early mss Bethsaida or Bethzatha
Bethesda, having five ▼▼Or colonnades (with roofs)
porticoes. 3In these porticoes lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, limping, or ▼▼Or had shrunken limbs
paralyzed. ▼▼Late mss add the following as the remainder of v 3, and v 4: paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the waters; for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever then first stepped in after the stirring up of the water was made well from whatever disease with which he was afflicted
4 ▼▼This verse is empty in this translation.
– 5Now a man was there who had been ▼▼Lit in his sickness
ill for thirty-eight years. 6Jesus, upon seeing this man lying there and knowing that he had already been in that condition for a long time, *said to him, “Do you want to get well?” 7The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” 8Jesus *said to him, “ jGet up, pick up your pallet and walk.” 9Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk. kNow it was a Sabbath on that day.
