John 5:13 NIV

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 5:13

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

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 5:13

Jesus had conveyed himself away - Or, had withdrawn himself. And this he might easily do, as there was a crowd in the place. Some think the words indicate, that Jesus withdrew on seeing a multitude in the place, i.e. raising a tumult, because of the man's carrying his bed (margin: Or, from the multitude that was ). He had not yet finished his work, and would not expose himself to the envy and malice of the Jewish rulers. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 5:13

Verse 13 13.And he who had been cured knew not who he was. Christ certainly did not intend that the glory of so great a work should pass away, but he intended that it should become generally known before that he acknowledged himself to be the Author of it. He therefore withdrew for a little, that the Jews might have it in their power to judge of the fact itself, without reference to any person. And hence we learn that the cure of this man cannot be ascribed to his faith, since, even after... read more

Outbreak of Jewish hostility. It is not against the miracle, but against an imagined infringement of Mosaic law. I. THE CHARGE AGAINST THE IMPOTENT MAN . "It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed." 1 . It seemed justified in the letter by the Divine commandment. "Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day" ( Jeremiah 17:21 ). 2 . But the command related to matters of trade, not of mercy or comfort. ( Nehemiah 13:15... read more

Now he that was healed —in this place ὁ ἰαθεὶς takes the place of τεθεραπευμένος of John 5:10 . £ The fundamental idea in the verb θεραπεύω to render kindly and useful, even noble, service to another—to do the work and act the part of a θεράπων .

Wist not - Knew not.Had conveyed himself away - Was lost in the crowd. He had silently mingled with the multitude, or had passed on with the crowd unobserved, and the man had been so rejoiced at his cure that he had not even asked for the name of his benefactor. read more
