0:00.0	Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.
0:13.3	There's a quiet corner in the old city of Jerusalem with manicured gardens outside a
0:17.2	beautiful church, and off to the side, you can walk down the stairs to the pools of
0:21.4	Bethesda.
0:22.4	You can even see the remains of the five portacos where one of my favorite stories happened.

1:10.4	Jesus asks if he wants to be healed, and the man doesn't give a yes or no answer.
1:15.1	Maybe because he doesn't want to get his hopes up.
