在那裏有一個人，病了三十八年。 耶穌看見他躺着，知道他病了許久，就問他說：「你要痊癒嗎？」 ...耶穌對他說：「起來，拿你的褥子走吧！」 那人立刻痊癒，就拿起褥子來走了。(約翰福音5:5-6,8-9 和合本)
Now a man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. Jesus, upon seeing this man lying there and knowing that he had already been in that condition for a long time, *said to him, “Do you want to get well?”...Jesus *said to him, “Get up, pick up your pallet and walk.”Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk. N ow it was a Sabbath on that day. (John5:5-6,8-9 NASB)
