Quotes About Healing

Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,

so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”

But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ëPick up your mat and walk.í”

“Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.

But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.

Afterward, Jesus found the man at the temple and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you.”

And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.

A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.

If a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you angry with Me for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?

Now as Jesus was passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,

and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him.

When Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground, made some mud, and applied it to the manís eyes.

Then He told him, “Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came back seeing.

At this, his neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging began to ask, “Isnít this the man who used to sit and beg?”

“How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.

He answered, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and anointed my eyes, and He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed and received my sight.”

They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.

Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.

So the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. The man answered, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”

So once again they asked the man who had been blind, “What do you say about Him, since it was your eyes He opened?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied.

The Jews still did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they summoned his parents

and asked, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? So how is it that he can now see?”
