They said, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left
him. The father knew that this was the same hour in which Jesus said to
him, Thy son lives. And he believed, and his whole house believed. This
is the second miracle Jesus did when He came to Galilee from Judaea.
5. After this there was a feast of the Jews. Jesus went up to
Jerusalem. At Jerusalem, by the sheep market, there is a pool with five
decks called Bethesda. On these platforms lay many who are blind,
crippled, and infirm. They wait for the moving of the water. At a
certain season, an angel goes into the pool and stirs it. Whoever first
steps in is healed of disease.
There was a man who had an infirmity for thirty-eight years. When Jesus
saw him and knew that he had been in that condition such a long time,
He said to him, Wilt thou be made whole? The sick man answered, Sir, I
have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred. Jesus
said to him, Rise. Take up your bed and walk. Immediately the man was
made whole. He picked up his mat and walked. This was on the sabbath
day.
The Jews said to the man who was cured, It is the sabbath day. It is
not lawful for you to carry your bed. He answered and said, He who made
me whole said to me, Take up your bed and walk. Then they asked him,
Who was it who said to you, Take up you bed and walk? But the man who
was healed did not know who it was because Jesus left the crowd that
had gathered there.
