The pool at Bethesda is now known to have been part of an Asclepium - a temple to the Greek god of healing, Asclepius. Whenever the god came by and disturbed the waters, whoever then first entered the water would be cured. Because the man whom Jesus cured was lame, he was never able to get into the water first, so someone else always got the healing powers of the water. According to John 5:5 he had been there for thirty eight years.

Clean Your Pool Regularly for Maximum Enjoyment?

Many people dream of having a backyard pool to relax in, but are disappointed with how much work they can be. If you want a place to relax at the end of a long work day, don't let maintenance concerns prevent you from having a pool. You just need to plan ahead and realize that they need regular cleaning so no one becomes ill or gets a skin disease. If you don't have time to clean your pool, you can hire a pool cleaning company to do it for you. The benefit is they do this for a living and know how to do it efficiently.
