In context
2 Now there is in Jerusalem, at the Sheep-gate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethzatha,—having, five porches.
3 In these, was lying a throng of them who were sick,—blind, lame, withered.
5 And there was a certain man there, who, for thirty-eight years, had continued in his sickness.
6 Jesus, seeing, this one, lying, and taking note that now, a long time, had he continued, saith unto him—Desirest thou to be made, well?
7 The sick man answered him—Sir! I have, no man, that, as soon as the water hath been troubled, might thrust me into the pool; but, while, I, am coming, another, before me, goeth down.
8 Jesus saith unto him—Rise! take up thy couch, and be walking.
