there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue, Bethesda, having five porches…..For an angel wend 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. And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years…..And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the Sabbath. John 5:2-9
