St. John Window: Left Lancet, medallion C

The healing of the chronic invalid at Bethesda (S. John V.6: "Wilt thou be made whole?"). The angel stirs the pool waters as the thirty-eight-year invalid sits on his pallet. The scene symbolically contrasts the active word of the spirit with spiritual lethargy.
