What does the Bible say about the healing at the Pool of Bethesda?

In John 5:1-6, the account tells of Jesus visiting the Pool of Bethesda, where many sick individuals lay waiting for the water to be stirred by an angel. The first person to enter the water after it was troubled would be healed of any ailment. The focus is on one man who had been sick for 38 years. When Jesus asks him if he wants to be made whole, it emphasizes the man's inability to help himself, paralleling humanity's spiritual condition and need for divine grace. This healing serves as a revelation of Jesus’ mercy and omniscience, choosing to heal this one among the multitude according to His sovereign will.
