Although Jesus often healed everyone present, in this case He healed only one person. Jesus was directed by God in ministry, not controlled by human need around Him. Jesus made this man face the real issue. He asked him, "Wilt thou be made whole?"
Bagaman madalas pinagagaling ni Jesus ang lahat ng maysakit na naroon, sa kasong ito isa lamang ang Kaniyang pinagaling. Si Jesus ay ginagabayan ng Dios sa ministeryo, hindi kontrolado ng mga pangangailangan sa palibot Niya. Pinaharap ni Jesus sa taong ito ang tunay na isyu.
