John 5:1, 5, 7-9

Later on there was a Jewish feast (festival), and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

There was a certain man there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.

The invalid answered, “Sir, I have no one to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am coming [to get into it myself], someone else steps down ahead of me.” Jesus said to him, “Get up; pick up your pallet and walk.” Immediately the man was healed and recovered his strength, and picked up his pallet and walked. N ow that day was the Sabbath.
