56 This being the second miracle which Jesus had done when he had come out of Judea into Galilee.
John 5
Intro: Impotent man healed -- The resurrection -- Testimony of Christ.
1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is at Jerusalem, by the sheep market, a pool which is called in the Hebrew tongue, Bethesda, having five porches.
3 In these porches lay a great many impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water, whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in, was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 And Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time afflicted; and he said unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool; but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
8 Jesus said unto him, Rise, take up thy bed and walk.
9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked; and it was on the Sabbath day.
