The Pool of Bethesda

This is the third of the seven signs in John. The first three signs show how a person is saved: salvation through the Word (water to wine), by faith (healing of the nobleman’s son), and by grace (healing the impotent man). The last four signs show the results of salvation: satisfaction (feeding the 5,000), peace (stilling the storm), light (healing the blind man), and life (raising Lazarus). Warren Wiersbe This miracle begins with Jesus traveling to Jerusalem for a “feast of the Jews.” There He passed by the Bethesda pool, where a number of invalids had placed themselves.
