Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 5:1-16

This miraculous cure is not recorded by any other of the evangelists, who confine themselves mostly to the miracles wrought in Galilee, but John relates those wrought at Jerusalem. Concerning this observe, I. The time when this cure was wrought: it was at a feast of the Jews, that is, the passover, for that was the most celebrated feast. Christ, though residing in Galilee, yet went up to Jerusalem at the feast, John 5:1. 1. Because it was an ordinance of God, which, as a subject, he would... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 5:10-18

5:10-18 It was Sabbath on that day. So the Jews said to the man who had been cured: "It is Sabbath and you have no right to lift your bed." He answered them: "He who made me well, it was he who said to me: 'Lift your bed and walk'!" They asked him: "Who is the fellow who said to you: 'Lift your bed and walk'?" The man who had been cured did not know who he was, for Jesus had slipped away, for there was a crowd in the place. Afterwards Jesus found him in the Temple and said to him: "Look now!... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 5:10

The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured ,.... When they saw him, either at the place, or as he walked through the streets, with his bed on his back: it is the sabbath day : do not you know it? surely you forget yourself, or you would never be guilty of such an action as this; it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed . It was forbid by the law, to carry any burden on the sabbath day; see Nehemiah 13:15 ; for "carrying out and bringing in anything, from one place to... read more

He answered them ,.... That is, the impotent man, who was now made whole, replied to the Jews: he that made me whole, the same said unto me, take up thy bed and walk ; intimating, that he that had such divine power, as to make him whole, had power to dispense with the sabbath, and such an action on it; and that his word was warrant and authority sufficient, to support him in what he did; for he that had wrought this cure for him, he concluded must be from God; was at least a great... read more

Then asked they him ,.... Suspecting who had made him whole, and gave him this order: what man is that which said unto thee, take up thy bed and walk ? they take no notice of the cure, being unwilling to give any glory to Christ, and still less to spread it; but chose rather that it should be obscured, hid, and unobserved; but they laid hold on that, which they thought might be improved to his reproach and scandal; and they call him a man, as supposing him to be a mere man, and a wicked... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 5:13

And he that was healed, wist not who he was ,.... He had never seen, and perhaps had never heard of Christ before, and so knew him not; and besides, Christ gave him no opportunity of conversing with him, or so much as to ask him who he was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away ; had slipped away, as soon as ever he had wrought the miracle: a multitude being in that place ; or "from the multitude that were in that place"; not that he hid himself among them, and there remained... read more

Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple ,.... Perhaps on the same day; for as soon as he had been at home, and laid down his bed, it is very likely he went directly to the temple, there to show himself, attend the worship of the place, and return thanks to God for the great mercy bestowed on him: and said unto him, behold thou art made whole ; cured of the disease that had attended him so many years; and a wonderful cure it was; well may a "behold" be prefixed; though this is here not... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 5:15

The man departed ,.... From Christ, and from the temple, not through displeasure, or as resenting what was said to him, but as highly delighted that he had found his kind benefactor and physician; and went either to Bethesda, where the miracle was wrought, and where a multitude of people were, and where he might expect to find some of the persons that had questioned him about carrying his bed, and who it was that bid him do it; or rather to the sanhedrim; see John 5:33 compared with John... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 5:16

And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus ,.... With their tongues, reproaching and reviling him, as a sabbath breaker, a destroyer of the law, and a sinful wicked man: and sought to slay him ; either in a violent way, by setting the zealots, a sort of ruffians under the pretence of religion, upon him; or rather in a judicial way, summoning him before the sanhedrim, in order to condemn him to death for the breach of the sabbath, which by the law of Moses was punishable with death: ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 5:11

He that made me whole, etc. - The poor man reasoned conclusively: - He who could work such a miracle must be at least the best of men: now a good man will neither do evil himself, nor command others to do it: but he who cured me ordered me to carry my bed; therefore, there can be no evil in it. read more
