2And a certain man, who was lame from his mother’s womb, was being carried in. They would lay him every day at the gate of the temple, which is called the Beautiful, so that he might request alms from those entering into the temple.

22And responding, he said to them: “Go and report to John what you have heard and seen: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor are evangelized.

3And the king said, “Could there be anyone alive from the house of Saul, so that I may show the mercy of God to him?” And Ziba said to the king, “There is left alive a son of Jonathan, with disabled feet.”

6Then the disabled will leap like a buck, and the tongue of the mute will be untied. For the waters have burst forth in the desert, and torrents in solitary places.

8This man heard Paul speaking. And Paul, gazing at him intently, and perceiving that he had faith, so that he might be healed,

3Along these lay a great multitude of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the withered, waiting for the movement of the water.

3And they came to him, bringing a paralytic, who was being carried by four men. 4And when they were not able to present him to him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was. And opening it, they lowered down the stretcher on which the paralytic was lying. 5Then, when Jesus had seen their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” 6But some of the scribes were sitting in that place and thinking in their hearts: 7“Why is this man speaking in this way?

And immediately his legs and feet were strengthened. 8And leaping up, he stood and walked around. And he entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God.

21And returning, the servant reported these things to his lord. Then the father of the family, becoming angry, said to his servant: ‘Go out quickly into the streets and neighborhoods of the city. And lead here the poor, and the disabled, and the blind, and the lame.’
