8 And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in the feet, was sitting, being lame from the womb of his mother -- who never had walked,
and a certain man, being lame from the womb of his mother, was being carried, whom they were laying every day at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask a kindness from those entering into the temple,
in these were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water, for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held. and there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty and eight years,
And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth, and his disciples asked him, saying, `Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?'
