John 5:1, 5, 7-9

Later Jesus went to Jerusalem for a special feast.

A man was lying there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

The sick man answered, “Sir, there is no one to help me get into the pool when the water starts moving. While I am coming to the water, someone else always gets in before me.” Then Jesus said, “Stand up. Pick up your mat and walk.” And immediately the man was well; he picked up his mat and began to walk. The day this happened was a Sabbath day.
