John 5:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ and in these a large number of invalids used to lie, people who were blind, lame, and paralyzed, waiting for the movement of the water.^[a] [ ⁴ For occasionally an angel of the Lord would come down into the pool and stir up the water. The first one into the pool after each such disturbance would be cured of whatever disease he had.]^[b]

⁵ A man who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
