The people found out that he was there, and they sent word to everyone who lived in that part of the country. So they brought all the sick people to Jesus.
A man who had been born lame was being carried to the temple door. Each day he was placed beside this door, known as the Beautiful Gate. He sat there and begged from the people who were going in.
