CHAPTER 74.
Jesus heals on the Sabbath, and is censured by the Pharisees. Restores a drowned child. Rescues a wounded dog. Cares for a homeless child. Speaks on the law of kindness.
It was the Sabbath day, and Jesus stood among the surging masses of the people in the temple courts and sacred halls.
2 The blind, the deaf, the dumb, and those obsessed were there, and Jesus spoke the Word, and they were healed.
3 On some he laid his hands, and they were healed; to others he just spoke the Word, and they were full restored to health; but others had to go and wash in certain pools; and others he anointed with a holy oil.
4 A doctor asked him why he healed in divers ways, and he replied,
5 Disease is discord in the human form, and discords are produced in many ways.
6 The body is a harpsichord; sometimes the strings are too relaxed, and then inharmony results.
7 Sometimes we find the strings too tense, and then another form of discord is induced.
8 Disease is many-formed, and there are many ways to cure, to tune anew the mystic harpsichord.
