After that there was a feast of the Jews / & Jesus went up to Jerusalem.§A And there is at Jerusalem / by the ^*slaughter house / a pole called in the Hebrew tongue / Bethesda / having five porches / in which lay a great multitude of sick folk / of blind / halt & withered / waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain season into the pole & troubled the water. Whosoever then first after the stirring of the water / stepped in / was made whole of what soever disease he had. And a certain man was there / which had been diseased .xxxviii. years. When Jesus saw him lye / & knew that he now long time had been diseased / he said unto him. Wilt thou be made whole? The² sick answered him: Sir I have no man when the water is troubled / to put me into the pole. But in the mean time / while I am about to come / another steppeth down before me.
