The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - John 5:1-47

Bethesda Joh 5:2-8 "Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water" ( Joh 5:2-3 ). The porches spoken of in the text were once places of luxurious indulgence; rich, self-indulgent people were in the habit of using them for purposes of self-enjoyment. They lingered there, luxuriating in ease and quiet and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 5:2-14

Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep-market, a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue, Bethesda, having five porches. (3) In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. (4) For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water; whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. (5) And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - John 5:2

Now there is at Jerusalem a pond, called Probatica. [1] Some translate, the sheep-pond. It is true the Greek word signifies something belonging to sheep. But because the ancient Latin interpreter thought fit to retain the Greek, probatica, and also because of the different expositions, I have not changed the word. Some think it was so called, as being near the gate called the sheep-gate: others, as being near the sheep-market: others, because the sheep that were brought to be sacrificed,... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 5:1-9

1-9 We are all by nature impotent folk in spiritual things, blind, halt, and withered; but full provision is made for our cure, if we attend to it. An angel went down, and troubled the water; and what disease soever it was, this water cured it, but only he that first stepped in had benefit. This teaches us to be careful, that we let not a season slip which may never return. The man had lost the use of his limbs thirty-eight years. Shall we, who perhaps for many years have scarcely known what it... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - John 5:1-99

John 5 BUT FIRST WE are brought back again to Jerusalem that we may consider a third sign that He gave in the healing of the impotent man at Bethesda. The Jew reading this Gospel might say, “Well we are as a nation sick to the point of death, and need life; but we have the law. Ought we not to find healing there.” The third sign furnishes us with a reply to this. A way of blessing was brought within man’s reach by the law of Moses. Only one thing was necessary on man’s part, but that one thing... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 5:1-9

Weakness Made Strength John 5:1-9 An interval of some months lies between the previous chapter and this, in which many of the incidents of our Lord’s Galilean life took place. John does not touch on them, because they had been described in the Synoptic Gospels, and because he wished to concentrate all his force on the great conflict which our Lord waged in Jerusalem, the stronghold of Jewish prejudice. He also chose the incidents which led to our Lord’s discourses, and served as the text of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - John 5:1-47

It was at this time that the conflict between Christ and His enemies, which culminated in His Cross began. A miracle wrought on the Sabbath gave rise to this first outbreak. Throughout this chapter we have incidents colored by this conflict. The fist was of the man in Bethesda's porches. In infinite compassion Christ dealt with him and healed him. His enemies objected because the wonder had been performed on the Sabbath; and, in effect, He replied that in the presence of sin and misery God had... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - John 5:1-10

The Man Made Whole John 5:1-10 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Every footstep of the Lord Jesus Christ was one of mercy and of grace. The beautiful thing about Christ's healing and helping hand is, that He made no distinctions in those whom He helped. One feature of both miracle and parable is the far-reaching spiritual significance that they convey. In the healings of the body, there are direct suggestions as to the methods of Christ in healing the soul. No miracle of healing conveys a more beautiful... read more
