At the pool of Bethesda: the man sick for thirty-eight years, made well on the Sabbath

베데스다 못의 삼십 팔년 된 병자를 안식일에 고치심

John 5:1–18: after these things there is a feast of the Jews, and Jesus goes up to Jerusalem. In Jerusalem by the sheep gate there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew “Bethesda”, having five porches. In these lies a great multitude of those who are sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water, for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water, and whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had. A certain man is there who has been sick for thirty-eight years. When Jesus sees him lying there, and knows that he has been sick for a long time, he asks him, “Do you want to be made well?” The sick man answers him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.” Jesus says to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.” Immediately the man is made well, and takes up his mat and walks; that day is a Sabbath. The Jews say to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.” He answers them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk,’” and when they ask him who the man is who said so, he who was healed does not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place. Afterward Jesus finds him in the temple and says to him, “Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.” The man goes away and tells the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. For this cause the Jews persecute Jesus and seek to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath. Jesus answers them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.” For this cause the Jews seek all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

¹After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
²Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches.
³In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;
⁴for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.
⁵A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
⁶When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to be made well?”
⁷The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.”
⁸Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”
⁹Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.
¹⁰So the Jews said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”
¹¹He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’ ”
¹²Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”
¹³But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.
¹⁴Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”
¹⁵The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
¹⁶For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
¹⁷But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”
¹⁸For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
