A WH R, but not the Syriac (see App-94 . note 3). If it be an addition it must have been a marginal note to explain the "troubling "of John 5:7 , which gradually got into the text. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 5:2

Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches.There is ... The present tense in this has led to the supposition that John was written before the destruction of Jerusalem; but it may be explained (1) by the pool's still being there after the ruin of the city, or (2) by the apostle's vivid memory of it leading to his use of the present tense, speaking of it as what he was actually seeing in retrospect.By the sheep gate ... The word... read more

In these lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, and withered.In these ... that is, in the five porches of the pool. This pool was a popular health resort similar to such places all over the world, from Hot Springs, Arkansas, and Mineral Wells, Texas, to Bath in Somerset, England, where the father of King Lear was reputed to have been healed of leprosy.[4]Waiting for the moving of the water: for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool, and troubled the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 5:2

John 5:2. Now there is at Jerusalem, &c.— Some are of opinion from this passage, that Jerusalem was standing when St. John wrote his gospel; but others, on the strength of a different reading, controvert that opinion, rendering the verse,Now there was, or There stood at Jerusalem. But see the Introduction to this gospel. At Jerusalem, says Bishop Pearce, near the place called the sheep-market, or sheep-gate rather, which was built by Eliashib the high-priest, (Nehemiah 3:1.) there was a... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 5:1-9

1. The third sign: healing the paralytic 5:1-9This third sign in John’s Gospel signaled Jesus’ identity and created controversy that followed. Particularly it testified to Jesus’ authority over time. [Note: Tenney, John: The Gospel. . ., p. 312.] read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 5:2

John frequently used the "historic (dramatic) present" tense to describe past events. Therefore this verse does not prove that he wrote his Gospel before the fall of Jerusalem. Wallace is one scholar who believed that it does prove this. [Note: Wallace, p. 531.] He pointed out that the equative verb estin, used here, nowhere else in the New Testament is clearly a historical present. Perhaps this is the one place where it is.The Sheep Gate was evidently a gate in the north part of Jerusalem’s... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 5:3-4

This section of the text has doubtful authenticity. No Greek manuscript before A.D. 400 contains these words. [Note: Blum, p. 289; Tenney, "John," p. 62.] Evidently scribes added these statements later to explain the troubling of the waters that occurred periodically (John 5:7). [Note: For defense of the authenticity of John 5:4, see Zane C. Hodges, "The Angel at Bethesda-John 5:4," Bibliotheca Sacra 136:541 (January-March 1979):25-39.] However these scribal explanations seem superstitious.... read more
