Jesus on the Sabbath day cures him who was diseased thirty-eight years.10. The Jews therefore object, and persecute him for it. 17. He answers for himself, and reproves them, showing by the testimony of his Father, 31. of John, 36. of his works, 39. and of the Scriptures, who he is. And the man went away This phrase indicates the immediate action taken by the man after his healing. It reflects a sense of urgency and purpose. In the context of the narrative, the man had been healed after 38 years of infirmity, which would naturally lead to a desire to share the news. This action also demonstrates the man's obedience to Jesus' command to "get up, pick up your mat, and walk." and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well Persons / Places / Events 1.

The Healing Event Jesus heals the man on the Sabbath, which leads to a confrontation with the Jewish leaders. Teaching Points Understanding the SabbathJesus challenges the legalistic interpretation of the Sabbath, emphasizing mercy and compassion over ritual. Witnessing to Others The healed man testifies to the Jews about Jesus, showing the importance of sharing our encounters with Christ. Recognizing Jesus' Authority Jesus demonstrates His authority over physical ailments and religious traditions, affirming His divine nature. Responding to Criticism Jesus' actions invite criticism from religious leaders, teaching us to stand firm in our faith despite opposition. The Role of Faith The man's healing was initiated by Jesus, but his response in faith led to his testimony, highlighting the importance of faith in action.(15) The man departed, and told the Jews.--We are not told what reason underlay his report to the Jews. It is natural that he should give the answer which he could not give before (John 5:13), and that he should wish to secure himself from the charge of Sabbath-breaking by supplying his authority. The narrative does not suggest that he did this in a tone of defiance, which has been found here from a remembrance of John 9, still less that he used his new strength immediately to bring a charge against the Giver of it. The impression is rather, that he felt that this power came from a prophet sent by God, and that he told this to those who were God's representatives to the nation, supposing that they would recognise Him too.Verses 15, 16. - The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole. Therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, (and sought to slay him ), because he was doing these things on the sabbath. The motive of the man may have been one of gratitude, or may have arisen from a sense of duty, seeing that he had not answered the question of the Jews, and had been himself charged with doing the unlawful thing (Weiss). He may have sought to win from his interlocutors some reverence for his Healer; but everything points the other way. He was a loveless being; he seems to have been nettled by the charge and warning he had just received, and went with the name of his Benefactor on his lips to those who in his hearing had already condemned the Saviour's conduct. The connection is close between the two facts, viz. the man's eager implication of his Healer in the responsibility of his own act, which was said by "the Jews" to be unlawful; and the course of cruel persecution and deadly hate which was there and then inaugurated against the Saviour of the world. The sixteenth verse represents a course of conduct on the part of the Jews which led to open conflict with the dominant party. Christ's view of the sabbath lay, indeed, in the heart of the old Law, and was even recognized by some of the wisest and noblest spirits of Judaism; but it ran counter to the current traditionary interpretation, and cut as with a sharp sabre through the knots and entanglement of the schools. It was the unpardonable sin that ideas and rules which sustained and fed the authority of the hierarchical party should be swept away as valueless and perilous accumulations, and as fungoid encrustations upon the Law of Moses. Weiss justly remarks that there is no colour for the charge that the fourth evangelist antedated the sabbath controversy, for Mark (Mark 3:6) shows that it had already commenced in Galilee. In John 4:1-3 we see that the Pharisaic party distrusted Jesus; here we see that the authorities are in arms against him. Parallel Commentaries ...
