BIBL 110
The biblical passage in John 5:1-17 offers a profound glimpse into the ministry of Jesus Christ, portraying a miraculous healing that holds significant theological and spiritual implications. In this narrative, “He entered a large public bath not far from the temple and healed
a man unable to walk for 38 years” (Shannon, 2019. p.337),
ultimately Jesus restoring his health at the Bethesda pool. As we delve into this passage, we will uncover how this section corresponds to the Bible as one. This study will not only elucidate the historical context and intricacies of the text but also explore its broader theological implications, shedding light on the identity and mission of Jesus as the Son of God. In this paper, we will unravel the layers of meaning embedded within John 5:1-17, emphasizing how it parallels various realities contained in Scripture, combined with the character as well as works of Jesus. Through the healing of the infirm man at the Bethesda pool, which serves as a pivotal moment in the Gospel, studying this passage in the book of John, you may realize that Christ is also capable of making you complete. Will you be redeemed? Thereby challenging readers to recognize and embrace the profound implications of this encounter in their own lives, as it is stated by Robin Thompson, “Jesus is: a God who could not only heal but one who could offer eternal life” (Thompson, 2017. p.65)
