John 5:5-9 Modern English Version (MEV)

5. A certain man was there who had an illness for thirty-eight years.

6. When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been in that condition now a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be healed?”

7. The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred. But while I am coming, another steps down before me.”

8. Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.”

9. Immediately the man was healed, took up his bed, and walked.That day was the Sabbath.
