5But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years.


In Context

2 Now there is in Jerusalem, at the sheepgate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.

3 In these lay a multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, awaiting the moving of the water.

4 For an angel descended at a certain season in the pool and troubled the water. Whoever therefore first went in after the troubling of the water became well, whatever disease he laboured under.

5 But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years.

6 Jesus seeing this man lying there, and knowing that he was in that state now a great length of time, says to him, Wouldest thou become well?

7 The infirm man answered him, Sir, I have not a man, in order, when the water has been troubled, to cast me into the pool; but while I am coming another descends before me.
