What happens when healing breaks the rules? In this episode of The Semi-Seminarian, we step through the Sheep Gate of Jerusalem and into one of Jesus’ most controversial miracles. Against the backdrop of Shavuot—Pentecost, the feast of firstfruits and the giving of the Law—Jesus walks into the shadows of Bethesda and resurrects a forgotten man with nothing but a Word. No water. No angel. No help. Just resurrection on the wrong day.
We dive deep into the tension between the letter of the Law and the Spirit of Life, the myth of the stirred waters, and why Jesus didn’t wait for permission to set a man free. This isn’t just a healing—it’s a confrontation. It’s a prophetic act. It’s a foreshadowing of Calvary in the middle of a feast.
Whether you’re a theology nerd, a pastor prepping your own message, or a soul wondering if healing is still possible for you—this episode is for you.
