Introduction
The man who had been diseased thirty-eight years healed on the Sabbath day, John 5:1-9 . The Jews cavil, persecute Christ, and seek to kill him, because he had done this cure on the Sabbath, John 5:10-16 . Our Lord vindicates his conduct, and shows, from the testimony of the Father, the Scriptures, John the Baptist, and his own works, that he came from God, to be the light and salvation of the world, vv. 17-39. He reproves the Jews for their obstinacy, John 5:40 ; hatred to God, John 5:41 , John 5:42 ; pride, John 5:43 , John 5:44 ; and disbelief of their own law, John 5:45-47 .
