5. A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
6. When Jesus saw him lying there, knowing that he had already been there a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to get well?"
7. The sick man answered him, "Sir, I don’t have anyone who can put me in the water when it is stirred up. When I’m trying to get to it, someone else has gotten in ahead of me."
