This episode discusses the mysterious healing pool at Bethesda where an angel supposedly stirred the waters, creating a healing pool.  One of the verses discussed in this episode of The Chosen is mysteriously missing from many Bibles.  What's the story behind John 5:4?  Was this verse a mere legend, superstition, or is it meant to be taken literally?  Why does Jesus heal some but not others?  Our crew of both Christians and non-Christians discusses our reactions to this episode and its source material.
