Some time after this the feast of the Jews being come, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. now there was at Jerusalem by the sheep-gate a bath, called in Hebrew, Bethesda, which had five portico's. where a great number of infirm, blind, lame, and paralytic people lay waiting for the moving of the water: read more.
(for a messenger went down at certain times into the pool, and agitated the water: the first then that stepped in after this commotion of the water, was cured of whatever disease he had.) now a certain man was there, who had been sick eight and thirty years. Jesus seeing him lie there, and knowing that he had been sick a long time, said to him, will you be cured? the sick man answered him, sir, I have nobody to put me into the pool when the water has been agitated: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. rise, said Jesus to him, take up thy bed, and go your way. and immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and went his way: but that day being the sabbath, the Jews said to him that was cured, it is the sabbath-day; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed. he answered them, he that cured me said to me, take up your bed and walk. then they asked him, who is he that said to you take up your bed and walk? and he that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had slip'd away, by favour of the crowd that was there. sometime after Jesus met him in the temple, and said to him, you see you were cured: sin no more, lest you suffer something worse. then the man departed to acquaint the Jews, that it was Jesus who had cured him. upon which occasion the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he did such things on the sabbath-day.
