The scripture following our stuff from Sunday contains 2 different accounts of Jesus healing someone. The word has started to spread about Jesus' ability to preach with authority, and multiple accounts are spreading regarding His power over demons. It has become obvious to the crowds that there is something radically different about this guy; so much so that they are starting to bring the sick and lame to Him to be healed. There carries with this action an implication -- the crowds had faith in Him that He was able to fix what was ailing them, even down to physically maladies that they had endured since birth. They believed that He could do the miraculous, that they could be healed by Jesus.

Do you?
