Soon the court was filled with people who brought their sick to be healed by Jesus. Some were dying. These afflicted ones felt their distressing need. They fixed their eyes imploringly upon the face of Christ, fearing to see there the severity which had driven out the buyers and sellers. But they saw in His face only love and tender pity.

Snart fyldtes forgården med folk, som bragte deres syge til Jesus, for at han skulle helbrede dem. Nogle var døden nær. Disse lidende mennesker følte deres store nød. Bønfaldende fæstede de deres blik på Jesu ansigt angst for at skulle møde den strenghed, hvormed han havde drevet de handlende ud. Men de så kun kærlighed og øm medlidenhed i hans udtryk.
