The one being infirm answered Him, Lord, I do not have a man, that when the water is agitated he may throw me into the pool; but while I am coming, another goes down before me.
For an angel at a certain time descended in the pool and agitated the water. Therefore the one first entering after the agitation of the water became well, whatever disease he was held by.
For Jehovah will bring His people justice; and He shall have compassion on His servants, for He sees that their power is gone, and only the imprisoned and abandoned remain.
