The Healing at the Pool on the Sabbath

5 After this there was a ^(A)feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

² Now there is in Jerusalem by ^(B)the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic^[a] called Bethesda,^[b] which has five roofed colonnades. ³ In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and ^(C)paralyzed.^{[c] 5} One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. ⁶ When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” ⁷ The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.” ⁸ Jesus said to him, ^(D)“Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” ^9 (E)And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked.

^(F)Now that day was the Sabbath. ¹⁰ So the Jews^[d] said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and ^(G)it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.” ¹¹ But he answered them, “The man who healed me, that man said to me, ‘Take up your bed, and walk.’” ¹² They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?” ¹³ Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for ^(H)Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. ¹⁴ Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! ^(I)Sin no more, ^(J)that nothing worse may happen to you.”

⁵⁹ So ^(A)they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind

9 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. ² And his disciples asked him, ^(B)“Rabbi, ^(C)who sinned, ^(D)this man or ^(E)his parents, that he was born blind?” ³ Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but ^(F)that the works of God might be displayed in him. ⁴ We must ^(G)work the works of him who sent me ^(H)while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. ⁵ As long as I am in the world, ^(I)I am the light of the world.” ⁶ Having said these things, ^(J)he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. ^(K)Then he anointed the man's eyes with the mud ⁷ and said to him, “Go, wash in ^(L)the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went and washed and ^(M)came back seeing.

⁸ The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar were saying, ^(N)“Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” ⁹ Some said, “It is he.” Others said, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I am the man.” ¹⁰ So they said to him, “Then how were your eyes opened?” ¹¹ He answered, ^(O)“The man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed and received my sight.” ¹² They said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.”

¹³ They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. ^14 (P)Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. ^15 (Q)So the Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.” ¹⁶ Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not ^(R)from God, ^(S)for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, ^(T)“How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And ^(U)there was a division among them.
