5. A certain man was there who had an illness for thirty-eight years.
6. When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been in that condition now a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be healed?”
7. The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred. But while I am coming, another steps down before me.”
8. Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.”
9. Immediately the man was healed, took up his bed, and walked.That day was the Sabbath.
10. The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath day. It is not lawful for you to carry your bed.”
11. He answered them, “He who healed me said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.’ ”
12. So they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?”
13. Now the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in that place.
