43:004:051 And as he was now going down, his servants
met him, and told
him,
saying, Thy son liveth.
43:004:052 Then enquired he of them the hour when
he began to amend. And
they
said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever
left
him.
43:004:053 So the father knew that it was at the same
hour, in the which
Jesus
said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed,
and
his
whole house.
43:004:054 This is again the second miracle that Jesus
did, when he was
come
out of Judaea into Galilee.
43:005:001 After this there was a feast of the Jews;
and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem.
43:005:002 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep
market a pool, which is
called
in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
43:005:003 In these lay a great multitude of impotent
folk, of blind,
halt,
withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
43:005:004 For an angel went down at a certain season
into the pool, and
troubled
the water: whosoever then first after the troubling
of
the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease
he
had.
43:005:005 And a certain man was there, which had
an infirmity thirty and
eight
years.
43:005:006 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he
had been now a long
time
in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made
whole?
43:005:007 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have
no man, when the
water
is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while
I am
coming,
another steppeth down before me.
43:005:008 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
43:005:009 And immediately the man was made whole,
and took up his bed,
and
walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
43:005:010 The Jews therefore said unto him that was
cured, It is the
sabbath
day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
43:005:011 He answered them, He that made me whole,
the same said unto
me,
Take up thy bed, and walk.
43:005:012 Then asked they him, What man is that which
said unto thee,
Take
up thy bed, and walk?
43:005:013 And he that was healed wist not who it
was: for Jesus had
conveyed
himself away, a multitude being in that place.
43:005:014 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple,
and said unto him,
Behold,
thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse
thing
come
unto thee.
43:005:015 The man departed, and told the Jews that
it was Jesus, which
had
made him whole.
43:005:016 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus,
and sought to slay
him,
because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
