Reflection Questions for the preceding scripture

Ask the participants these reflection questions leaving 15 – 20 seconds between each. Do not ask them to respond verbally, but if someone spontaneously volunteers, encourage their comment: What would it mean to be bent so that you could not straighten? What would it be like to walk, or bathe, or look out at the countryside? Where are you in this story? Are you the woman? Have you lived with infirmity? Are you the healer? Do you relieve distress? When you touch are you healing or are you healed? Are you the synagogue ruler? Are the rules important to you? Are you one of the people, delighted by the miracle? Are you Satan? Do you bind and control?
