As the nature of the water did not heal here in the simplest way, because if it were the healer, this healing would occur all the time, but it was healing by the action of the angel. This is the case with our purification, not by the simple action of the water, but it purifies us if it accepts the grace of the Spirit. Then all our sins will be absolved.
Saint John Chrysostom
