John 5:1-6

Contemporary English Version

Jesus Heals a Sick Man

5 Later, Jesus went to Jerusalem for another Jewish festival.^{[a] 2} In the city near the sheep gate was a pool with five porches, and its name in Hebrew was Bethzatha.^[b]

^3-4 Many sick, blind, lame, and paralyzed people were lying close to the pool.^[c]

⁵ Beside the pool was a man who had been sick for 38 years. ⁶ When Jesus saw the man and realized that he had been crippled for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to be healed?”
