I read this as I'm working on my own project, writing about the healings in the Gospels. In general, the argument is that such healings occur through a temporary lifting of the "separating robe," that descends upon us in early childhood and causes us to separate self and world. This is the source of independence but also of egotism, i.e. sin. 

Comments on individual healings were mixed; I found some points interesting but disagreed with others, particularly the reading of the event referenced in the title. Kuhlewind says the man at the pool of Bethesda didn't answer Jesus's question, but I think he did -- by saying he needed help. For those of us reluctant to open up and ask for help in our healing process, that is quite an important model and I don't think it should be discounted.

In the final chapters I became lost, it was too anthroposophically technical for me and not really helpful on a personal level.

This little book could have used a lot more attention editorially. Why were excerpts from the King James version of the Bible used? A more modern, accurate translation would have been preferable, since close reading of the text is essential. Identifying Steiner's works by CW number alone is annoying, necessitating looking up all of those numbers in another source to know what book or lecture series is being quoted from. There should have at least been a list at the end of the book giving more information about each source. Translations in various places were not co-ordinated; e.g. Steiner excerpts in the text and in the Appendix were translated differently. Lots of sloppiness like this.
