3. Concerning the Epileptic.
“And when they were come to the multitude,
there came to Him a man kneeling to Him and saying, Lord, have mercy
upon my son.”5862
Those who are
suffering, or the kinsfolk of the sufferers, are along with the
multitudes; wherefore, when He has dispensed the things that were
beyond the multitudes, He descends to them, so that those, who were not
able to ascend because of the sicknesses that repressed their soul,
might be benefited when the Word descended to them from the loftier
regions. But we ought to make inquiry, in respect of what
diseases the sufferers believe and pray for their own healing, and in
respect of what diseases others do this for them, as, for example, the
centurion for his servant, and the nobleman for his son, and the ruler
of the synagogue for a daughter, and the Canaanitish woman for her
female child who was vexed with a demon, and now the man who kneels to
Him on behalf of his epileptic son. And along with these you will
investigate when the Saviour heals of Himself and unasked by any one,
as for example, the paralytic; for these cures, when compared with one
another for this very purpose, and examined together, will exhibit to
him who is able to hear “the wisdom of God hidden in a
mystery,”5863
many dogmas
concerning the different diseases of souls, as well as the method of
their healing.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
