Hour of Discernment: John 5

John 5

Joh 5:1  After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 
Joh 5:2  Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. 
Joh 5:3  In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 
Joh 5:4  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. 
Joh 5:5  And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 
Joh 5:6  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? 
Joh 5:7  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. 
Joh 5:8  Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 
Joh 5:9  And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. 
Joh 5:10  The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. 
Joh 5:11  He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. 
Joh 5:12  Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? 
Joh 5:13  And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
