John 5:6-8

New Century Version

⁶ When Jesus saw the man and knew that he had been sick for such a long time, Jesus asked him, “Do you want to be well?”

⁷ The sick man answered, “Sir, there is no one to help me get into the pool when the water starts moving. While I am coming to the water, someone else always gets in before me.”

⁸ Then Jesus said, “Stand up. Pick up your mat and walk.”
