The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

The ill man said in answer, Sir, I have nobody to put me into the bath when the water is moving; and while I am on the way down some other person gets in before me.

Απεκριθη προς αυτον ο ασθενων· Κυριε, ανθρωπον δεν εχω, δια να με βαλη εις την κολυμβηθραν, οταν ταραχθη το υδωρ· ενω δε ερχομαι εγω, αλλος προ εμου καταβαινει.

The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
