    3 In these lay a great multitude of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water.

    4 For at certain times, an angel would come down into the pool and stir the water. The first one who stepped in after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.

    5 Now there was a man there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

    6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been in that condition for a long time, He said to him, 'Do you want to be made well?'

    7 The sick man answered Him, 'Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, someone else goes in ahead of me.'

    8 Jesus said to him, 'Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.'

    9 Immediately, the man was made well; he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now that day was the Sabbath.

    10 So the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, 'It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your mat.'

    11 But he answered them, 'The one who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’'

    12 So they asked him, 'Who is the man who told you, ‘Pick up your mat and walk’?'

    13 But the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.

    14 Later Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, 'Look, you have been made well. Stop sinning, so that nothing worse happens to you.'

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