nsb@John:5:1 @ After this the Jews had a Festival, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

nsb@John:5:2 @ There is a pool by the sheep-market gate at Jerusalem. It is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethzatha. It has five porches.

nsb@John:5:4" />

nsb@John:5:5 @ A man who had an infirmity for thirty-eight years was present.

nsb@John:5:6 @ Jesus saw him lying there. He knew that he had been sick for a long time. So he asked him: »Do you want to get well?«

nsb@John:5:7 @ The sick man replied: »I have no man to put me in the pool when the water is stirred. Others step down before I can go.«

nsb@John:5:8 @ Jesus said: »Arise pick up your bed and walk.«

nsb@John:5:9 @ Immediately the man was made whole. He picked up his bed and walked. It happened on the Sabbath day.

nsb@John:5:10 @ So the Jews told the man who was cured: »It is not lawful for you to pickup your bed for it is the Sabbath.«

nsb@John:5:11 @ He answered: »He who made me whole told me to pick up my bed and walk.«

nsb@John:5:12 @ »Who is the man,« they asked, »that said to you pick up your bed and walk?«

nsb@John:5:13 @ He did not know who healed him for Jesus quietly left the crowd.

nsb@John:5:14 @ Later Jesus found him in the temple and told him: »Now that you are healed do not sin anymore and avoid worse things happening to you.«

nsb@John:5:15 @ The man went away and told the Jews Jesus made him whole.
