1) There was a feast and Jesus went through Jerusalem. 2) There are five porticoes at the pool at the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem. 3) There were many ill, blind, lame and crippled there. 4) The Lord would send angels to heal them with water from the pool. 5) There was a man who was there for thirty-eight years. 6) Jesus asked the man if he wanted to be well. 7) He says there is no one to help him to the pool when it is stirred. 8) Jesus tells him to rise and take his mat. 9) It was the Sabbath, the man was healed and left. 10) A Jew said to the cured man it was the Sabbath and he can't carry the mat. 11) The cured man says his healer told him to. 12) They ask who the healer is. 13) The cured man did not know who the healer was. 14) Jesus found the cured man in the temple and told him to sin no more. 15) The cured man said Jesus healed him.
Those that are ill in Jerusalem go to the Sheep Gate pool to be healed by an angel of God. One man had been there for thirty-eight years because he had no one to help him there and when he managed to get there a person had taken his spot to be healed. Jesus heals him and tells him to sin no more. If people would be more considerate toward those who need assistance then the world would be a more compassionate place. It is written that Jesus would often preach about compassion toward others and how it would bring people into the Kingdom of God.
