25 And in the presence of them all the man arose, took up his bed, and went his way. 26 The people could not comprehend the things they heard and saw. They said among themselves, This is a day we never can forget; we have seen wondrous things today. 27 And when the multitudes had gone the twelve remained, and Jesus said to them, 28 The Jewish festival draws near; next week we will go to Jerusalem, that we may meet our brethren from afar, and open up to them the way that they may see the king. 29 The Christines sought the quiet of their homes, where they remained in prayer for certain days. SECTION XVI. AIN. _The Second Annual Epoch of the Christine Ministry of Jesus._ CHAPTER 91. _Jesus at the feast in Jerusalem. Heals an impotent man. Gives a practical lesson in healing. Affirms that all men are the sons of God._ The feast time came and Jesus and the twelve went to Jerusalem. 2 Upon the day before the Sabbath day they reached Mount Olives and they tarried at an inn before Mount Olives on the north. 3 And in the early morning of the Sabbath day they went in through the sheep gate to Jerusalem. 4 The healing fountain of Bethesda, near the gate, was thronged about with people who were sick; 5 For they believed that at a certain time an angel came and poured a healing virtue in the pool, and those who entered first and bathed, would be made whole. 6 And Jesus and the twelve were standing near the pool. 7 And Jesus saw a man near by who had been stricken eight and thirty years; without a hand to help he could not move. 8 And Jesus said to him, My brother, man, would you be healed? 9 The man replied, I earnestly desire to be healed; but I am helpless and when the angel comes and pours the healing virtues in the pool, 10 Another who can walk, steps in the fountain first and I am left unhealed. 11 And Jesus said, Who sends an angel here to potentize this pool for just a favored few? 12 I know it is not God, for he deals just the same with every one. 13 One has no better chance in heaven’s healing fountain than another one. 14 The fount of health is in your soul; it has a door locked fast; the key is faith; 15 And every one can have this key and may unlock the door and plunge into the healing fount and be made whole. 16 And then the man looked up in hopeful mood and said, Give me this key of faith. 17 And Jesus said, Do you believe what I have said?

A stranger at the pool just spoke a word and I was well. 20 The many did not see when Jesus healed the man, and with the twelve he went his way up to the temple courts. 21 And in the temple Jesus saw the man and said to him, Behold you are made whole; from henceforth guard your life aright;
