Pool of Bethesda. Thirty-eight years ill, lying there with all the others. A man asked if I wanted to get well. I said I've got nobody to help me into the water. He said: get up, pick up your mat and walk. So I did.
The man at the pool

Thirty-eight years. Then one sentence.
I’d been ill for thirty-eight years. I spent my days lying by the pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem with a crowd of other sick people, and I never had anyone to help me into the water. Then a man I didn’t know asked me if I wanted to get well.

The man who made me well told me to.

They asked who told me to. No idea. He'd slipped off into the crowd.
He found me at the temple. Told me to stop sinning, or something worse might happen to me. It was Jesus. I've told the leaders.
