John:5:1-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
After these things was a feast of the Jews ,
and Jesus went up to Jerusalem .
*
Now there is in Jerusalem ,
at the sheepgate ,
a pool ,
which is called in Hebrew ,
Bethesda ,
having five porches .
*
In these lay a multitude of sick ,
blind ,
lame ,
withered , [
awaiting the moving of the water .
*
For an angel descended at a certain season in the pool and troubled the water .
Whoever therefore first went in after the troubling of the water became well ,
whatever disease he laboured under .]
*
But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years .
*
Jesus seeing this [
man ]
lying [
there ],
and knowing that he was [
in that state ]
now a great length of time ,
says to him ,
Wouldest thou become well ?
*
The infirm [
man ]
answered him ,
Sir ,
I have not a man ,
in order ,
when the water has been troubled ,
to cast me into the pool ;
but while I am coming another descends before me .
*
Jesus says to him ,
Arise ,
take up thy couch and walk .
*
And immediately the man became well ,
and took up his couch and walked :
and on that day was sabbath .
*
The Jews therefore said to the healed [
man ],
It is sabbath ,
it is not permitted thee to take up thy couch .
*
He answered them ,
He that made me well ,
he said to me ,
Take up thy couch and walk .
*
They asked him [
therefore ],
Who is the man who said to thee ,
Take up thy couch and walk ?
*
But he that had been healed knew not who it was ,
for Jesus had slidden away ,
there being a crowd in the place .
*
After these things Jesus finds him in the temple ,
and said to him ,
Behold ,
thou art become well :
sin no more ,
that something worse do not happen to thee .
*
The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well .
