7 A deity of power could fill these waters full of healing virtue every day.
8 Hear me, you sick, disconsolate: The virtue of this fount is not a special gift of God.
9 Faith is the healing power of every drop of all the waters of this spring.
10 He who believes with all his heart that he will be made whole by washing in this fount will be made whole when he has washed; and he may wash at any time.
11 Let every one who has this faith in God and in himself plunge in these waters now and wash.
12 And many of the people plunged into the crystal fount; and they were healed.
13 And then there was a rush, for all the people were inspired with faith, and each one strove to be among the first to wash, lest all the virtue be absorbed.
14 And Jesus saw a little child, weak, faint and helpless, sitting all alone beyond the surging crowd; and there was none to help her to the fount.
15 And Jesus said, My little one, why do you sit and wait? Why not arise and hasten to the fount and wash, and be made well?
16 The child replied, I need not haste; the blessings of my Father in the sky are measured not in tiny cups; they never fail; their virtues are the same forevermore.
