When Jesus saw the eager desire of this unfortunate man to be cured, and his trust that Jesus was able to deliver, he commanded, "Rise, take up your mattress and walk."
Yesu alipoona hamu kubwa ya huyu mtu mwenye bahati mbaya, kwamba anatamani sana kuponywa, pamoja na tumaini lake, kwamba Yesu anayo uwezo wa kumfungua, akaagiza: “Inuka, jitwishe godoro lako na uende!”.
