vs 7 poses a question asked and a remarkable answer received.
Jesus: Do you want to be healed?
Sick man: I have no man
Interpret it in our present day
Jesus: Do you want to get a job, an admission, a promotion, etc?
Response: I have no connections
This was the typical response of a man stuck in one place, a man whose place has taken several times by people who had highly placed connections and because he has no money, no landed properties, no person of value, no government connections, HE REMAINED ONE PLACE.
Doesn't this explain the society we are in? A society where you may have to bribe your way up, have sex with your boss, do some shady things to land a favour or get a contract or a job.
But this kind of matter is what Jesus is interested in if only we can turn the matter to Him.
So the sick man without connections got His desires on a day that people don't go to work, the top men around began to wonder how this man could achieve what he got without human connections.
