3 in which laye a greate multitude of sicke folke of blinde halt and wyddered waytinge for the movinge of the water.

4 For an angell wet doune at a certayne ceason into ye pole and troubled ye water. Whosoever then fyrst after the steringe of the water stepped in was made whoale of what soever disease he had.

5 And a certayne ma was theare which had bene diseased .xxxviii. yeares.

6 When Iesus sawe him lye and knewe that he now longe tyme had bene diseased he sayde vnto him. Wilt thou be made whoale?

7 The sicke answered him: Syr I have no man whe the water is troubled to put me into the pole. But in the meane tyme whill I am about to come another steppeth doune before me.

8 And Iesus sayde vnto him: ryse take vp thy beed and walke.

9 And immediatly the man was made whole and toke vp his beed and went. And the same daye was the Saboth daye.

10 The Iewes therfore sayde vnto him that was made whole. It is ye Saboth daye it is not laufull for the to cary thy beed.

11 He answered them: he that made me whole sayde vnto me: take vp thy beed and get the hence.

12 Then axed they him: what man is that which sayde vnto the take vp thy beed and walke.

13 And he yt was healed wist not who it was. For Iesus had gotte him selfe awaye be cause yt ther was preace of people in ye place.
