Voice 2: (Still gruff but somewhat resigned) Well, I dont think Im going to convince
you, but I still think youre probably mad. I guess youll all have to decide how
important this crazy story is to youespecially if they start seriously enforcing some
of these warnings about your endless preaching. (Noise of hanging up.)
Jerry: Errr Sorry about that.
John: Thats OKsometimes even I find this story hard to believe. And I was there
through it all. It is truly the most amazing thing that has happened in my life.
Jerry: Yes, sometimes our callers get a little heated. This is 2Day in Jerusalem with
Jerry on Radio JC. With us this morning and taking your calls is Johnthe John of
Peter & John in this mornings headlines. Call now with questions and comments on

(Presses button) Hello
Voice 3: (Cutting Jerry off. Extremely excited.) Wahoo! Is that John? JohnI can
still walk. It wasnt just an incredible dream. I can walk!
Jerry: Im guessing youre the beggaror former beggarhealed by Peter and John
yesterday.
Voice 3: (The story just spills out, almost tripping over itself.) Thats me. After 40
years, I can work. I was born lame and have spent my whole life beggingbeing
carried to the temple most days to earn a small amount of money to stay alive. And
yesterday was just like any other day: hot, dusty, not much happening at the temple,
not many people willing to stop to talk to a beggar. Then these two men came along. I
called out to them and one of them came over. I was getting hopeful but he said, I
dont have a cent. I started to turn away, looking for other people. But he kept talking.
He said something about Jesus. I had heard something about him a few months ago,
and someone even suggested Jesus might be able to heal meHe seemed to do a bit
of that sort of thingbut then I heard He was dead. But then this guy grabbed my
hand and pulled me up. I struggled to keep my balance, fell forwardand, andtook
a step. And then I was walking, then I was jumping. I can walk.
Jerry: And it was Peter and John who healed you?
Voice 3: They told me it was Jesus who healed me. I dont know much about Him
yet, but I sure want to find out more. John was telling me some amazing stories about
Him, werent you John?
John: Jesus is the most incredible person I have ever met.
Voice 3: Youre the best John. Thank you so much to you and Peterand to Jesus.

Jerry: There certainly seems a great change in his life. What do you say about that,
John?
John: Jesus changed my life so much that now I am able to be involved in helping
change other peoples lives. I still feel like Im just the youngest son of an up-country
fisherman. But when you see Jesus work in such a powerful way, you cant just stay
the same.
Jerry: Youre listening to Jerry on 2Day in Jerusalem on Radio JC. Were almost
out of time, John, but let me ask you one final question: There is talk of some of the
disciples writing the stories of their time with Jesus. Have you thought about doing
that? It certainly sounds like it would be a bestseller.
John: I havent given much thought to it. I dont have time at the moment. Jesus said
He would come back soon, but if Jesus hasnt come back by then, perhaps writing
down some of the stories of my time with Him could be something I might do when
Im older.
Jerry: But do you think there is a need for lots of books about Jesus?
John: Jesus did and said so many amazing things. If they were all written down, each
of them, one by one, I cant imagine a world big enough to hold such a library of
books.
Jerry: So it might not be for a while but we might expect a story of Jesus according
to John. Just in summary, what makes Jesus so important?
John: Jesus is a light shining in the darkness. He was the Son of God. God became
flesh and blood, and moved into our neighborhood. We saw that glory with our own
eyes.
Jerry: Powerful words from John, our special guest this morning on 2Day in
Jerusalem. Thank you for being with us this morning, John.
John: Thank you for the opportunity to share something about Jesus with you and
your listeners.
Jerry: Well check Jerusalems freshest news and weather at the top of the hour. On
the way there, lets take a tune from

listening to Radio JC, the home of 2Day in Jerusalem.
