The crowds start moving about to form three groups: those who are sick, those who are poor, and those who are anxious only to hear Jesus teaching. (...)
Jesus is already bending over sick people and the hosannas of the crowds punctuate each miracle.
The woman, who appears to be completely distressed, dares to pull John’s tunic, while he is speaking to Andrew and she smiles.
He bends and asks her: «What do you want, woman?»
«I would like to speak to the Master…»
«Are you not well? You are not poor…»
«I am well and I am not poor. But I need Him… because there are evils without any fever and there is misery without poverty and mine… mine…» and she weeps.
«Listen, Andrew. This woman is sick in heart and would like to speak to the Master. What shall we do?»
Andrew looks at the woman and says: «It is certainly something which is painful to tell…» The woman nods assent. Andrew goes on: «Do not weep… John, try and take her behind our shed. I will take the Master there.»
And John, smiling, begs people to let him pass, while Andrew goes in the opposite direction towards Jesus.
But they are noticed by two distressed men, and one of them stops John, and the other Andrew, and shortly afterwards they are both with John and the woman behind the shed of branches which is part of the tent.
Andrew reaches Jesus when the Latter is curing the cripple who raises his crutches like two trophies, as brisk as a skilled dancer, shouting his blessing. Andrew whispers: «Master, behind our shed there are three people weeping. But it is their hearts that ache and their grief cannot be made known…»
«All right. I still have this girl and this woman. Then I will come. Go and tell them to have faith.»
Andrew goes away (...)
All the sick people have been satisfied and they are the ones who shout most in the crowd applauding «the Son of David, glory of God and ours.»
Jesus goes towards the shed.
Judas of Kerioth shouts: «Master! What about these?»
Jesus turns around and says: «Let them wait where they are. They will be comforted, too» and He walks fast to the back of the shed where the three people in anguish are with Andrew and John. [Christ listens to these three people, who leave satisfied.]
Jesus goes back to the crowds, towards the poor people and gives them alms according to His own judgement. Everybody is now happy and Jesus can speak.
