Psalms: 61, 64

Meditation

John: Do we ever make the story not about us? The paralytic had been under that curse for 38 years. Following local custom, (or what may be termed as superstition) he would go to this pool hoping for a cure. Along came Jesus and cured him. Apparently, the Jewish rulers and elders had such a grip on the people that they followed blindly their dictates. This now-healed man expressed his gratitude to Jesus by turning Him in. Oh yes, Jesus had healed this unfortunate on a Sabbath day!
