As Paul recounted the works of Christ in healing the afflicted, he perceived a cripple whose eyes were fastened upon him, and who received and believed his words. Paul’s heart went out in sympathy toward the afflicted man, whose faith he discerned; and he eagerly grasped the hope that he might be healed by that Saviour, who, although he had ascended to Heaven, was still man’s Friend and Physician, having more power even than when he was upon earth.{LP 56.2}

Da Paulus genfortalte Kristi gerninger at helbrede forpinte, så en krøbling ham, hvis øjne var fæstnet på ham, og som tog imod og troede hans ord. Paulus’ hjerte blev vendt i forståelse for den forpinte mand, hvis tro han kunne se; og han greb ivrigt håbet om at han kunne blive helbredt af den Frelser, som stadig var menneskets Ven og Læge, skønt han var steget op til himlen, og som har endog mere magt end da han var på jorden.
