It is strange how this man got up and walked
and didn't attract the attention of the others.
There were many other sufferers around him.

They were looking so intently at the pool, as
they watched for the moving of the water;
that they hadn't notice the activity caused by
the man with Jesus receiving his healing.

They remind us of many today whose focus
is on physicians for remedies. [These are not
to be spoken against, doctors or medicines.
They do help and ease suffering. Jesus never
spoke against them.]

But even the physician will admit that there
are many diseases that medical science can
not help.

Some poor people move from one operation to
another and treatments one after another and
seem to be intent in trying to find a cure, that
they miss the 'Great Physician'.
