Jesus first miracle was healing a man in Canaan who had leprosy. In order to speed up Jesus’ death so that it did not conflict with the Sabbath, the Jesus legs were broken at the request of the religious leaders. John uses this central "I am" declaration to affirm the deity of Christ. One of these "I am" declarations is :
Moved with compassion, Jesus stretches out his hand and actually touches the man. Jesus says to him: “I want to!

How would you like to have a king who is as compassionate and capable as Jesus?
