¹ Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for a Jewish feast. ² In Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate is a pool. In the Aramaic language it is called Bethesda. It is surrounded by five rows of columns with a roof over them. ³ Here a great number of disabled people used to lie down. Among them were those who were blind, those who could not walk, and those who could hardly move. ⁵ One person who was there had been disabled for 38 years. ⁶ Jesus saw him lying there. He knew that the man had been in that condition for a long time. So he asked him, "Do you want to get well?" ⁷ "Sir," the disabled man replied, "I have no one to help me into the pool when an angel stirs the water up. I try to get in, but someone else always goes down ahead of me." ⁸ Then Jesus said to him, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk." ⁹ At once the man was healed. He picked up his mat and walked. The day this happened was a Sabbath. ¹⁰ So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath. The law does not allow you to carry your mat." ¹¹ But he replied, "The one who made me well said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.' " ¹² They asked him, "Who is this fellow? Who told you to pick it up and walk?" ¹³ The one who was healed had no idea who it was. Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there. ¹⁴ Later Jesus found him at the temple. Jesus said to him, "See, you are well again. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you." ¹⁵ The man went away. He told the Jews it was Jesus who had made him well.
