Question 1 Report

when a man complained to Jesus at the pool of Bethzatha that he had no one to put him into the pool, Jesus healed him by saying
Answer Details
The correct option is "Rise, take up your pallet, and walk". Jesus healed the man who had been an invalid for 38 years by telling him to take up his pallet and walk. This miracle happened at the pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem. The pool was believed to have healing powers and people with various ailments would come and wait for an angel to stir the waters, as it was believed that the first person to enter the pool after this stirring would be healed. When Jesus saw the man who had been an invalid for a long time, he asked him if he wanted to be healed, to which the man replied that he had no one to put him into the pool. Then Jesus told him to rise, take up his pallet, and walk, and immediately the man was healed and he obeyed Jesus' command to take up his pallet and walk.
