For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and ti'oubled the water : who- soever 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. When Jeffus saw him lie, and knew that he had been a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole ? The impotent man annwered him. Sir, I have no man. when tlie water is troubled, to put me into the pool : but while I am coming, 'another stcppeth down before me.
