Bethesda.The supposed remains of the pool of Bethesda are situated on the east of Jerusalem, contiguous on one side to St. Stephen's gate, and on the other to the area of the temple.
Maundrell states that, "it is 120 paces long, and forty broad, and at least eight deep, but void of water.
At its west end it discovers some old arches, now damned up.
These some will have to be porches, in which sat that multitude of lame, halt, and blind.
But it is not likely, for instead of five, there are but three."
• {v.2-9} A striking picture that scene was of man, of the Jews under law. There they lay without strength, and though the grace of God might interfere at intervals, the greater the need, the less could souls take advantage of His mercy. (“John 5” by W. Kelly)

There is a good deal of confusion in the MSS. even where the text is certain here. "At the sheep-gate" ({vi 12329}{/vi}) is read by many MSS. Other MSS. have "sheep-market"; whilst a few other inferior authorities construe "sheep pool."
