John 5:1-11

1 After this, there was a Judean festival; and Yeshua went up to Yerushalayim.
2 In Yerushalayim, by the Sheep Gate, is a pool called in Aramaic, Beit-Zata,
3 in which lay a crowd of invalids -- blind, lame, crippled.
4 Some manuscripts have verses 3b­4: . . . , waiting for the water to move; v4 for at certain times an angel of ADONAI went down into the pool and disturbed the water, and whoever stepped into the water first after it was disturbed was healed of whatever disease he had.
5 One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.
6 Yeshua, seeing this man and knowing that he had been there a long time, said to him, "Do you want to be healed?"
7 The sick man answered, "I have no one to put me in the pool when the water is disturbed; and while I'm trying to get there, someone goes in ahead of me."
8 Yeshua said to him, "Get up, pick up your mat and walk!"
9 Immediately the man was healed, and he picked up his mat and walked. Now that day was Shabbat,
10 so the Judeans said to the man who had been healed, "It's Shabbat! It's against Torah for you to carry your mat!"
11 But he answered them, "The man who healed me -- he's the one who told me, `Pick up your mat and walk.'"
