After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem near the sheep-market a pool, called in Hebrew Bethesda, with five porticos about it. In these lay a great number of people that were infirm, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. read more.
For an angel descended at a certain season into the pool, and moved the water; the first therefore that went in after the disturbing of the water, was cured of whatever malady he laboured under. And there was a man who had been under illness thirty eight years. Jesus seeing him lie there, and knowing that he had been now a long time ill, saith unto him, Dost thou desire to be cured? The infirm man answered Him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is moved, to put me into the pool; but while I am coming, another goes down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was cured: and he took up his bed and walked. Now this was the sabbath-day, therefore the Jews said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. He answered them, He, that made me well, said unto me, Take up thy bed and walk. Therefore they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed and walk? but he, that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being many people in the place. Afterwards Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art healed; sin no more, least something worse befal thee. And the man went away, and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had healed him. And for this did the Jews persecute Jesus, and endeavoured to put Him to death; because He had done these things on the sabbath-day.
