John 5:1-16

5:1 After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

²Now in Jerusalem, by the Sheep Gate, there is a pool which in Hebrew is called Bethesda, having five porticoes. ³In these porticoes lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, limping, or paralyzed. ⁵Now a man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. ⁶Jesus, upon seeing this man lying there and knowing that he had already been in that conditionfor a long time, *said to him, “Do you want to get well?” ⁷The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” ⁸Jesus *said to him, “Get up, pick up your pallet and walk.” ⁹Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk.

Now it was a Sabbath on that day. ¹⁰So the Jews were saying to the man who was cured, “It is a Sabbath, and it is not permissible for you to carry your pallet.” ¹¹But he answered them, “He who made me well was the one who said to me, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk.’” ¹²They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick it up and walk’?” ¹³But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while there was a crowd in that place.¹⁴Afterward, Jesus *found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you have become well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you.” ¹⁵The man went away, and informed the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.¹⁶For this reason the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on a Sabbath.
