Lesson 1: The Second Passover in Jerusalem /Jesus Heals a Lame Man | 1


In this new quarter we begin with Jesus traveling
to Jerusalem to attend a special Jewish feast called
the Passover. The Passover was a feast to remember
the night when God delivered His people from
Egyptian slavery. God instructed the Israelites to
mark their door posts with the blood of a lamb so
the death angel would pass over their homes and
spare the oldest child in each home from death.

In Jerusalem there was a pool with five covered


porches. The pool was called the Pool of Bethesda.
Many sick people who were blind, lame and
paralyzed would lay on the porches waiting for
the water to move. An angel of the Lord came
down to the pool and stirred up the water. As
soon as the angel did this, the first person to go
down into the water immediately was healed, no
matter what sickness or disease he/she had.

A man lying on one of the porches had been sick for 38 years. As Jesus was
walking by He saw this man and knew he had been sick for a very long
time. Jesus asked him . . .

Do you want
to be WELL?

2 | Miracles & Parables of Jesus


The sick man answered Jesus by saying,“Sir, there is no one to help me get
into the pool when the water starts moving. I try to be the first one into
the water, but when I try, someone else always goes in before me” (John
5:7).

Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “Stand up. Pick


up your mat and walk!” (Luke 5:8). Immediately,
the man was well. He picked up his bed as Jesus
told him and began to walk!

The Jews heard that this lame man was healed on


the Sabbath day and became very angry. They told him
that it was against the
law to carry his mat on
the Sabbath. The healed man said, “The
man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up
your mat and walk’” (John 5:11). The Jews
asked him who healed him. The man
could not tell them who it was because
he did not know. There were many
people around, and Jesus had already
left the pool.

Jesus later meets the man at the Temple.

Look up John 5:14 and find


out what Jesus tells him. . .

Lesson 1: The Second Passover in Jerusalem /Jesus Heals a Lame Man | 3
Because all these events happened on the Sabbath day, the Jews began
to do bad things to Jesus. Jesus told the Jews . . .

Sabbath was a “My Father never

the Jews! And so I work too!”
(John 5:17).

?
The more Jesus said, the angrier the Jews
became. First, the Jews thought Jesus was
breaking the law about the Sabbath day.
Then Jesus said that God was His Father,
making Himself equal with God! He was, of
course, but they did not believe this.

Jesus said to the Jews,“I tell you the truth. The Son
can do nothing alone. The Son does only what
He sees His father doing. The Son does whatever
the Father does!” (John 5:19). Jesus told the Jews
that He has God’s authority in all that He does.
