John 5:1-16
There was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem at the Sheep Gate a pool called in Hebrew Bethesda, with five porticoes. In these lay a large number of ill, blind, lame, and crippled. One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been ill for a long time, he said to him,“Do you want to be well?”
The sick man answered him,
“Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool
when the water is stirred up; while I am on my way, someone else gets down there before me.”
Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your mat, and walk.”
Immediately the man became well, took up his mat, and walked. Now that day was a sabbath.
So the Jews said to the man who was cured,
“It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to carry your mat.” He answered them, “The man who made me well told me,
‘Take up your mat and walk.’“
They asked him,
“Who is the man who told you, ‘Take it up and walk’?”
The man who was healed did not know who it was,
for Jesus had slipped away, since there was a crowd there. After this Jesus found him in the temple area and said to him,
“Look, you are well; do not sin any more,
so that nothing worse may happen to you.”
The man went and told the Jews
that Jesus was the one who had made him well.
Therefore, the Jews began to persecute Jesus
because he did this on a sabbath.

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Lalaki sa may Dako ng Paliguan
Juan 5:1-16
Pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito ay may kapistahan ang mga Judio. Si Jesus ay umahon sa Jerusalem.
May malaking dakong paliguan sa Jerusalem na nasa tabi ng Tarangkahan ng mga Tupa. Ito ay tinatawag na Betesda sa wikang Hebreo. Ito ay mayroong limang portiko. Dito ay may napakaraming nakahiga na maysakit.
May mga bulag, pilay at nanunuyot, na naghihintay ng paggalaw ng tubig.It o ay sapagkat may mga panahon na lumulusong ang isang anghel sa dakong paliguan at hinahalo ang tubig. Ang unang makalusong pagkatapos haluin ang tubig ay gumagaling sa anumang sakit na mayroon siya.
Naroroon ang isang lalaki na tatlumpu't walong taon nang maysakit. Siya ay nakita ni Jesus na nakahiga. At alam niya na matagal nang panahon na siya ay may sakit. Sinabi niya sa kaniya: Nais mo bang gumaling?
Sumagot sa kaniya ang maysakit: Ginoo, wala akong kasama na maglagay sa akin sa dakong paliguan pagkahalo sa tubig. Sa pagpunta ko roon ay may nauuna nang lumusong sa akin.
Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Bumangon ka, buhatin mo ang iyong higaan at lumakad ka. 9Kaagad na gumaling ang lalaki at binuhat niya ang kaniyang higaan at lumakad.
Noon ay araw ng Sabat. Sinabi nga ng mga Judio sa kaniya na pinagaling: Ngayon ay araw ng Sabat, labag sa kautusan na magbuhat ka ng higaan.
Sumagot siya sa kanila: Ang nagpagaling sa akin ay siya ring nagsabi sa akin: Buhatin mo ang iyong higaan at lumakad ka.
Tinanong nga nila siya: Sino ang lalaking nagsabi sa iyong buhatin mo ang iyong higaan at lumakad ka?
Hindi nakilala ng pinagaling kung sino siya sapagkat si Jesus ay nakaalis na at maraming mga tao sa pook na iyon.
Pagkatapos nito, natagpuan siya ni Jesus sa templo. Sinabi sa kaniya: Narito, ikaw ay magaling na. Huwag ka nang magkasala upang hindi mangyari sa iyo ang malubhang bagay. Umalis ang lalaki at sinabi sa mga Judio na si Jesus ang nagpagaling sa kaniya.
Dahil dito, inusig ng mga Judio si Jesus. Humanap sila ng pagkakataon upang patayin siya sapagkat ginawa niya ang mga bagay na ito sa araw ng Sabat

Jesus asks the man whether he wishes to be healed. His feelings of helplessness are expressed in his inability to say “yes.”
All he thinks of is his difficulty in getting to the water when it is stirred because he has no one to help him. Jesus goes ahead and heals the sick man anyway. The Jews take offense that the cure is done on a Sabbath.
But for Jesus, any day is a good day to give life back to a man whose body has been devitalized for 38 years.
Jesus is always there for us 24/7. All we have to say is YES to HIM and He will help us.
Let us always do good because our God does not rest even during rest days.
Let us pray to God to bless us always.
