John 5:1-9John 5:1-9 NKJVNKJV1. 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 greatmultitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed,[waiting for the moving of the water. 4For an angel went down at a certain time
into the pool and stirred up the water;then whoever stepped in first, after thestirring of the water, was made well ofwhatever disease he had.]5 Now a certainman was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that healready had been in that condition a long time, He saidto him, Do you want to be made well?
7 The sick man answered Him, Sir, I have no man to putme into the pool when the water is stirred up; but
while I am coming, another steps down before me.8 esus said to him, Rise, take u our bed and walk. 9

5:3b-4.The earliest manuscripts
omit these words which appear tobe a late insertion to explain why thepool water was stirred (v. 7).People believed that an angel came
and stirred it. According to localtradition, the first one in the waterwould be healed. But the Biblenowhere teaches this kind ofsuperstition, a situation which wouldbe a most cruel contest for many illpeople. No extant [surviving]
