John 5:5-7

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁵ One man was there who had been sick for 38 years. ⁶ When Jesus saw him lying there and knew he had already been there a long time,^(A) He said to him, “Do you want to get well?”

⁷ “Sir,”^(B) the sick man answered, “I don’t have a man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, someone goes down ahead of me.”
