Answered in 1 source
The Bible recounts that Jesus healed an impotent man at the pool of Bethesda, asking him if he wanted to be made whole and commanding him to rise, take up his bed, and walk.
In John 5:6-9, Jesus encounters a man who had been impotent for thirty-eight years. He asks him, "Will thou be made whole?" This question highlights the man's need for healing. When the man expresses his helplessness, Jesus commands him to rise, take up his bed, and walk. The immediate healing and restoration of this man not only demonstrate Jesus’ authority over physical ailments but also his compassion. The fact that this miracle occurred on the Sabbath, leading to conflict with the Jewish leaders, underscores the teaching that Christ's work transcends traditional religious laws. The overall message is that Jesus possesses the power to heal both physically and spiritually, illustrating the deeper restoration he offers to all who come to him.
