JOHN 5:7 - TOO BUSY EXPLAINING TO RECEIVE

The Pool of Bethesda was not a quiet, peaceful place. The Bible tells us it was surrounded by five covered colonnades, and under those colonnades lay a great number of people — blind, lame, paralysed. This was not one or two people. This was a crowd of suffering. A whole community of people who had run out of other options and ended up here, waiting for the water to be stirred. Jesus walked through that crowd.
