I have always wondered why the Bible does not give names to
certain of its characters. Scripture would stress "a certain man"
instead of naming the man, or not give names to the people the Lord
Jesus healed. It is noted that some names were of importance to the
stories, while others only needed to be acknowledged as those who
were healed.
For instance, Naaman the Syrian leper had an unnamed wife. The
nameless leper who was healed (along with nine other men) returned
to say thanks to Jesus for his miraculous healing. We know that
nothing is said about him after his healing. There is also the man
healed beside the pool at Bethesda by Jesus and, again, what
happened to him after the priests and scribes questioned his
healing on the Sabbath?
Hence, in the first story, Naaman's wife and her little maid now
have names and a history. In the second story, I continued the
leper's story as he relates it years later to his daughter-in-law.
The third story gives a bit more insight to the character of the
man who was healed by Jesus at the Pool of Bethzatha.
