After this the Jews had a Festival (holy day), and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. There is a pool by the sheep-market gate at Jerusalem. It is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethzatha. It has five porches (colonnades). In these lay a great crowd of sick people, of blind and lame waiting for the water to bubble up. read more.
(Not in older manuscripts.) A man who had an infirmity for thirty-eight years was present. Jesus saw him lying there. He knew that he had been sick for a long time. So he asked him: Do you want to get well? The sick man replied: I have no man to put me in the pool when the water is stirred. Others step down before I can go. Jesus said: Arise pick up your bed and walk. Immediately the man was made whole. He picked up his bed and walked. It happened on the Sabbath day. So the Jews told the man who was cured: It is not lawful for you to pickup your bed for it is the Sabbath. He answered: He who made me whole told me to pick up my bed and walk. Who is the man, they asked, that said to you pick up your bed and walk? He did not know who healed him for Jesus quietly left the crowd. Later Jesus found him in the temple and told him: Now that you are healed do not sin anymore and avoid worse things happening to you. The man went away and told the Jews Jesus made him whole. The Jews persecuted Jesus because he did these things on the Sabbath.
