Jesus was walking through Jerusalem and passed by one of the porches surrounding the Pool of Bethesda. He looked in sympathy at the people He saw there. Some were lying on mats on the hard ground, some sitting alone, others talked quietly with the person who was keeping them company. The two things that they …

The Mission is Ready
It was necessary for Him to go through Samaria. (Jn 4:4) Jesus was on His way to Galilee and this is what the Gospel has to say about the journey: It was necessary for Him to go through Samaria. Even though this is the most direct route, somehow I don’t think this was a shortcut. …
