Going in Circles (v. 17) Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for a feast of the Jews. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 1 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie--the blind, the lame, 5 the paralyzed. One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight 6 years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to get well?" 3 "Sir," the invalid replied, "I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me." 7 Coming Full Circle… 2. The Call (v. 8-9) Then Jesus said to him, "Get up!

But he replied, "The man who made me well said to me, Pick up your mat and walk.” 10 So they asked him, "Who is this fellow who told you to pick it 13 up and walk?" The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there. 12 Coming Full Circle… 4.

The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. 14 STOP IT God has a Breakthrou gh!
