Jesus went up to Jerusalem, to the sheep’s pool which in Hebrew was called Bethesda, having five porches. And there lay a great multitude of the sick; for the angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons and moved the water, granting healing to those who approached in faith. And the Lord saw there a man with a chronic disease, and He said unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? And the sick man replied: I have no man, when the water is moved, to put me into the pool. I have wasted my money on physicians and received no help from anyone. But the Physician of soul and body said unto him, Take up thy bed and walk, proclaiming through the regions My might and the greatness of My mercy. (First Vesperal Doxasticon in Tone 5)
