The Man at the Pool

Read the Story

There was a pool in Jerusalem. Many sick people lay near it. One man had been sick for thirty-eight years. He could not walk.

Jesus saw the man. He asked, Do you want to be made well? The man said no one would help him into the pool.

Jesus said, Get up, pick up your mat, and walk. Right away the man was well! He picked up his mat and walked. Jesus has power to heal.

Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”
