After these things there was ^(C1)a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Now in Jerusalem, by ^(C1)the Sheep Gate, there is a pool which ^(C2)in ^(F1)Hebrew is called ^(F2)Bethesda, having five ^(F3)porticoes.

In these porticoes lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, limping, or ^(F1)paralyzed.^(F2)

Now a man was there who had been ^(F1)ill for thirty-eight years.

Jesus, 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?"

The 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."

Jesus ^(*)said to him, "^(C1)Get up, pick up your pallet and walk."

Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk. ^(C1)Now it was a Sabbath on that day.
