<p>5:19 <em>But Jesus did not permit him. Instead he said to him: Go to your home, to your family, and tell them how great things the Lord has done for you and how he had mercy on you</em>- See on :18 and :20. We must &quot;do&quot; the Lord's will (Mt. 7:21), but the Lord also 'does' for us by His grace (&quot;mercy&quot;); our 'doing' is in response to His 'doing' for us. The same word is used in Jn. 4:1 (also Acts 15:17) of how the Lord 'did' or &quot;made&quot; disciples. That was the end point in view; the &quot;great things&quot; done were not just the cure, but the making of a disciple.</p>
