The Healing at Bethesda

5 After these things 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, which is called ^(C)in ^[a]Hebrew ^[b]Bethesda, having five porticoes. ³ In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, and withered, ^[c][waiting for the moving of the waters; ⁴ for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was made well from whatever sickness with which he was afflicted.] ⁵ And a man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years. ⁶ When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been sick a long time, He *said to him, “Do you wish to get well?” ⁷ The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when ^(D)the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” ⁸ Jesus *said to him, “^(E)Get up, pick up your mat and walk.” ⁹ And immediately the man became well, and picked up his mat and began to walk.

^(F)Now it was the Sabbath on that day. ¹⁰ So ^(G)the Jews were saying to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and ^(H)it is not lawful for you to carry your mat.” ¹¹ But he answered them, “He who made me well was the one who said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’” ¹² They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick up your mat and walk’?” ¹³ But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while there was a crowd in that place. ¹⁴ Afterward Jesus *found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you have become well; do not ^(I)sin anymore, ^(J)so that nothing worse happens to you.” ¹⁵ The man went away, and disclosed to ^(K)the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
