Hour after hour they came and went; for none could know whether tomorrow would find the Healer still among them. Never before had Capernaum witnessed a day like this. The air was filled with the voice of triumph and shouts of deliverance. The Saviour was joyful in the joy He had awakened. As He witnessed the sufferings of those who had come to Him, His heart was stirred with sympathy, and He rejoiced in His power to restore them to health and happiness.

Time efter time kom og gik de, for ingen kunne vide, om den store læge i morgen ville være at finde iblandt dem. Aldrig nogensinde havde Kapernaum oplevet en dag som denne. Luften genlød af jublende stemmer og befrielsens råb. Frelseren frydede sig over den glæde, han bragte. Når han blev vidne til de lidelser, som pinte dem, der var kommet til ham, rørtes hans hjerte af medlidenhed, og han glædedes ved sin magt til at gengive dem helbred og lykke.
