After these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem.
Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in
Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a multitude of them
that were sick, blind, halt, withered. And a certain man was there,
who had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity. When Jesus saw
him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he
saith unto him, "Wouldest thou be made whole?"
The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no man, when the water is
troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another
steppeth down before me."
