John 5:2 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
John 5:1      John 5:3

John 5:2

Now there is a pool in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate called Bethesda in Hebrew, which has five porticoes [covered with roofs].
[The Sheep Gate and the pool were located north of the temple area. Bethesda means "house of mercy" or "house of the stream." John's use of the verb form "there is now" means that the pool still existed when his gospel was written. The Sheep Gate is already mentioned by Nehemiah and the pool by Isaiah, see Neh. 3:1–2; 12:39; Isa. 7:3. Until the 20th century, the detail that the pool had "five porticoes" was puzzling. Normally, a pool has four sides and four porticoes with roofs. Archaeological excavations in 1915 and 1958 have shown that the pool was nearly 20 meters deep, 50 meters wide, and 150 meters long, divided into a northern and a southern part. The pool was thus a double pool with four colonnades along the sides and one in the middle – a total of five colonnades. The fact that the number is mentioned by John is a detail that demonstrates the accuracy of the Bible.]
