22. Therefore it is said: “An
angel of the Lord went down according to the season into the pool, and
the water was troubled; and he who first after the troubling of the
water went down into the pool was healed of whatsoever disease he was
holden.” S. John v. 4. This pool
was at Jerusalem, in which one was healed every year, but no one was
healed before the angel had descended. Because of those who
believed not the water was troubled as a sign that the angel had
descended. They had a sign, you have faith; for them an angel
descended, for you the Holy Spirit; for them the creature was troubled,
for you Christ Himself, the Lord of the creature, works.
