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.
Þe sijk man answerde to hym, Lord, Y haue no man, þat whanne þe watir is moued, to putte me in to þe cisterne; for þe while Y come, anothir goith doun bifor me.
