JOHN 5:1-5 NKJV

1 After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool,
which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these
lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting
for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at a certain
time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in
first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease
he had. 5 Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity
thirty-eight years.

JOHN 5:6-9 NKJV

6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been
in that condition a long time, He said to him, "Do you want to be
made well?" 7 The 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." 8 Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up
your bed and walk." 9 And immediately the man was made well, took
up his bed, and walked.
