My opinion is that we cannot interpret or act the Cured Bethesda Paralytic, since
with our small budget, more than we need many materials that exceed our budget, a
good work cannot be guaranteed and also the performance is something very difficult
to act, I do not want to act or interpret this miracle, notice that there was a man
who had been sick for 38 years and had 4 friends who were with them when they
put him on a stretcher and lowered him from the roof so that Jesus could heal him
they preceded when Jesus did the miracle where bethesda in hebrew
According to me, we could not do something very difficult, since it is beyond our budget
first we need to make a big house and have a rope and people who can do the
work of climbing the roof and then lowering it that would be too exhausting and we
could not guarantee a good play because according to my point of view I am opposed to
doing this play I know that some are going to disagree, but it would be a good
preference not to do this play or not to choose it so that our group can guarantee a
good theatrical play.
I think that it is very easy and very interesting for the public and as I
said before it is something that would not take too much time to do and the
acting is not needed much on that, since we only need people who see
the miracle and 12 disciples like Jesus and the bleeding woman.
Paralytic at Capernaum healed
He got into a boat, crossed the sea again and arrived at his city.
Then, they presented him with a paralytic lying on a stretcher.
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man: "Have
confidence, son, your sins are forgiven you." Then some of the
scribes said to themselves: "This man blasphemes." Knowing their
thoughts, Jesus said: - Why do you think evil in your hearts? What
is easier, to say: «Your sins have forgiven you», or to say: «Get
up, and walk»? So that you may know that the Son of Man has
power on earth to forgive sins," he then addressed the paralyzed
man, "get up, pick up your stretcher, and go home. He got up and
went home. Seeing this, the people were frightened and glorified
God for having given such power to men.
They were all poor, and they realized their needs and ran to Dr.
Galilee for medicine. . . .
It was very daring for the leper to approach Jesus. The Mosaic Law
mandated the exclusion of lepers from the community. The book of
Leviticus says this: A leper walks around in rags, with disheveled hair
and a covered beard, crying, "Unclean, unclean!" As long as the condition
persists, it will remain impure. He is not clean and will live alone and
will live outside the camp (Leviticus 13:45-46). Jesus did not reject the
leper, nor did he affirm his exclusion from society. As St. Mark told us,
"With compassion, he reached out and caressed it and said, 'I want it,
it's clean.

Peter's wife's mother healed of a severe fever
Jesus touched her hand, and her warmth dissipated, and she stood
up and served Jesus. In the Gospel of Matthew, this event is the
third in a series of healings described in chapter 8 after the
Sermon on the Mount. Peter's mother-in-law had a high fever
before Jesus came to her house and found out about her illness.
She was with some of her disciples when Jesus came to her and
treated her for her fever by rebuking the devil. He ordered the
fever to leave the patient.
