Who Really Stirred the Waters at the Pool?

The "stirring of the waters" for healing happens at the Pool of *Bethesda* (John 5), not Siloam. Siloam is the pool where Jesus sent the blind man to wash (John 9)—no angel or stirring there.

At Bethesda, people waited because the water would occasionally bubble up, and the first person in got healed. The man Jesus heals says, “I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred.”

So who stirred it?

Older Bible translations (like KJV) include John 5:4: an angel came down and troubled the water.
But that verse is missing from the earliest manuscripts—scholars agree it was added later to explain the popular belief.
In reality, it was likely a natural intermittent spring or sluice gate causing the water to move and bubble periodically.

Jesus skips the pool altogether and heals the man directly, showing His power doesn’t depend on superstitions or timing.
