When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe and praised God for giving such authority to humans.
The man got up, immediately picked up his cot, and walked away while everyone watched. Everyone was amazed and praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this.”

The man bowed in front of Jesus and said, “I believe, Lord.”
