John 5:5-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁵ One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. ⁶ When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be made well?” ⁷ The ill man answered him, “Sir,^[a] I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am making my way someone else steps down ahead of me.” ⁸ Jesus said to him, “Stand up, take your mat and walk.”^{(A) 9} At once the man was made well, and he took up his mat and began to walk.

Now that day was a Sabbath.^(B)
