John 5:7-9
New English Translation
7 The sick man answered him, “Sir,[a] I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I am trying to get into the water,[b] someone else[c] goes down there[d] before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Stand up! Pick up your mat[e] and walk.” 9 Immediately the man was healed,[f] and he picked up his mat[g] and started walking. (Now that day was a Sabbath.)[h]

- John 5:7 tn Or “Lord.” The Greek κύριος (kurios) means both “Sir” and “Lord.” In this passage the paralytic who was healed by Jesus never acknowledges Jesus as Lord—he rather reports Jesus to the authorities.
- John 5:7 tn Grk “while I am going.”
- John 5:7 tn Grk “another.”
- John 5:7 tn The word “there” is not in the Greek text but is implied.
- John 5:8 tn Or “pallet,” “mattress,” “cot,” or “stretcher.” Some of these items, however, are rather substantial (e.g., “mattress”) and would probably give the modern English reader a false impression.
- John 5:9 tn Grk “became well.”
- John 5:9 tn Or “pallet,” “mattress,” “cot,” or “stretcher.” See the note on “mat” in the previous verse.
- John 5:9 tn Grk “Now it was Sabbath on that day.”sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.
