'What manner of man is this, that makes the lame to walk with a touch?'
So when He came out into the Brompton Road He was already attended by a crowd, some crying:
'This is the man who works miracles!'
Others:
'Bring out your sick!'
With each step He took the crowd increased, so that when He came to the narrow part of Knightsbridge the street became choked and the traffic blocked. The people, because there were so many, pressed against Him so that He could not move, and there began to be danger of a riot.
The lame man, who found it difficult to keep close to His side, said to Him:
'Lord, if You do not send them from us we shall be hurt.'
But He replied:
'It is to these I have come, although they know it not. If I send them from us, why did I come?'
