John 5:1-3 Amplified Bible (AMP)

1. LATER ON there was a Jewish festival (feast) for which Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2. Now there is in Jerusalem a pool near the Sheep Gate. This pool in the Hebrew is called Bethesda, having five porches (alcoves, colonnades, doorways).

3. In these lay a great number of sick folk–some blind, some crippled, and some paralyzed (shriveled up)–waiting for the bubbling up of the water.
