NASB
"A man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years."
— John 5:5, NASB
“And a certain man was there, who had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity. ”
“A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.”
“Now a man was there who had been disabled for thirty-eight years.”
“And there was a certain man there that had been eight and thirty years under his infirmity.”
“And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.”
Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porticoes.
In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, and withered, [waiting for the moving of the waters;
for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was made well from whatever disease with which he was afflicted.]
A man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.
When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He *said to him, "Do you wish to get well?"
The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me."
Jesus *said to him, "Get up, pick up your pallet and walk."
