Lazarus page 12 by ric gustafson
Lazarus and Jesus stopped at the edge of the pool. It was the porticoes of Bethesda. In front of it was a man who had lain there for thirty eight years.
Jesus looked at the man with compassion in his eyes. " Do you want to be made well?".
" No man can help me into the pool". He began to cry. " When I try, another steps down before me".
" What is your name?".
" Bikri".
" Rise Bikri". Jesus smiled. " Take up your bed and walk".
Bikri sat up, picked up his mat and walked.
The Pharisees were mad. Jesus had healed on the Sabbath.
