Chapter 5 starts out with an interesting story. For all the talk I've had about healing following faith, here again we have an example of Jesus not being limited by a person's lack of faith. The verse comment in my Bible underscores this idea by pointing out in verse 13 that the man didn't have any idea who Jesus was.
Notice Jesus' use of the word "hear" in the discourse from v.19 to the end of the chapter. What if Jesus was using that word with the Hebrew understanding of shema (hear and obey). I think that adds to our understanding of the passage.
