into the Feast, Christ found a man
lying there who had been paralysed
for thirty-eight years. And speaking
as the Master, He said to him: Dost
Thou want to be made well? And
in response, the invalid said to Him:
Sir, I hve no man to put me into the
pool when the water is troubled. He
said to him: Take up your pallet.
Behold: you have been made well!
Sin no more! At the Intercessions
of the Theotokos, O Lord, send down
