    5 One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.

    6 When Jesus saw him there on the floor it was clear to him that he had been now a long time in that condition, and so he said to the man, Is it your desire to get well?

    7 The ill man said in answer, Sir, I have nobody to put me into the bath when the water is moving; and while I am on the way down some other person gets in before me.

    9 And the man became well straight away, and took up his bed and went. Now that day was the Sabbath.

    10 So the Jews said to the man who had been made well, It is the Sabbath; and it is against the law for you to take up your bed.

    11 He said to them, But he who made me well, said to me, Take up your bed and go.

    12 Then they put to him the question: Who is the man who said to you, Take it up and go?

    14 After a time Jesus came across him in the Temple and said to him, See, you are well and strong; do no more sin for fear a worse thing comes to you.

    15 The man went away and said to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
