John 5:1-15 In John 5, Jesus approaches a man who had been paralyzed for 38 years and asks, “Do you want to be healed?” With no request and no demonstration of faith, the man is healed by Jesus’ word alone. This sign reveals Jesus’ divine authority to restore what is broken, not only physically but spiritually. He confronts false religion, reclaims the purpose of the Sabbath, and calls people to walk in holiness. Jesus doesn’t just heal bodies, He restores lives.
