Jesus cures a crippled man

Ned's 2-second Takes

Jesus heals a crippled man

Jesus has been preaching to a small crowd in Galilee when some people carry in a young, crippled man and set him on the ground in front of the teacher.

"What's the matter with this man?” asks Jesus, “Can't he walk?" The people mostly just shuffle their feet and murmur and nod vaguely to one another.
 
So Jesus, feeling a tiny bit of GERD coming on, turns to the young man lying on the pallet and says, “Son, you’re healed; pick up your bed and go!”
 
So the man – much to the amazement of all - gets up from his bed and stands. "Thank you, Jesus," the man says, trying, unsuccessfully, to keep a plaintive, wheedling note from his voice.

“Something wrong, then?” asks Jesus, feeling pretty good about himself in spite of the GERD.
 
"No, no, Jesus. No. Really. Thank you for fixing me so I can walk again. I mean, it’s the coolest thing ever! Seriously. But all that about picking up my bed and all? I’m still a little shaky from being crippled since I was three, and that stuff’s kind of heavy."
 
"Dude," said Jesus, "It's not enough I heal you so that you can walk again, but now I have to help you move?"
