[The end of verse 3 and the whole of verse 4 are not included in the earliest manuscripts: "They waited for the water to be stirred. An angel descended into the pool at a certain time and stirred the water. Whoever stepped into the water first, after it had been stirred, was healed, whatever disease he had." The text does not follow John's style of writing. It is probably a comment in the margin that happened to be included when the text was copied into later manuscripts. The explanation may well be based on old information from this period that is correct. It describes the popular belief that existed around the pool and explains the man's reply in verse 7.]
