THE MESSAGE
Even on the Sabbath Soon another Feast came around and Jesus was back in Jerusalem. Near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem there was a pool, in Hebrew called Bethesda, with five alcoves. Hundreds of sick people—blind, crippled, paralyzed—were in these alcoves. One man had been an invalid there for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him stretched out by the pool and knew how long he had been there, he said, "Do you want to get well?" The sick man said, "Sir, when the water is stirred, I don't have anybody to put me in the pool. By the time I get there, somebody else is already in." Jesus said, "Get up, take your bedroll, start walking." The man was healed on the spot. He picked up his bedroll and walked off. That day happened to be the Sabbath. The Jews stopped the healed man and said, "It's the Sabbath. You can't carry your bedroll around. It's against the rules."

Contextual Overview
1 After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 And at Jerusalem is a pool at the Sheep Gate which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these was a great multitude of the infirm lying, blind ones, lame ones, withered ones, awaiting the stirring of the water. 4 For an angel at a certain time descended in the pool and agitated the water. Then the one first entering after the agitation of the water became well, whatever disease he was held by. 5 But a certain man was there, being in infirmity thirty eight years. 6 Seeing him lying, and knowing that he had already spent much time, Jesus said to him, Do you desire to become well? 7 The infirm one answered Him, Lord, I do not have a man, that when the water is agitated he may throw me into the pool; but while I am coming, another goes down before me. 8 Jesus said to him, Rise up, Take up your cot and walk! 9 And instantly the man became well, and took up his cot and walked. And it was a sabbath that day. 10 Then the Jews said to the one having been healed, It is a sabbath. It is not lawful for you to lift up the cot.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured,.... When they saw him, either at the place, or as he walked through the streets, with his bed on his back:
it is the sabbath day: do not you know it? surely you forget yourself, or you would never be guilty of such an action as this;
it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. It was forbid by the law, to carry any burden on the sabbath day; see Nehemiah 13:15; for
"carrying out and bringing in anything, from one place to another, is said x to be work, and one of the principal works;''
and therefore forbid by the law, which says, "thou shall not do any work"; and one of the traditions of the elders is this y,
"whoever carries anything out (i.e. on the sabbath day), whether in his right hand, or in his left, in his bosom, or ×¢× ×ת×פ×, "on his shoulder", is guilty; for so carried the Kohathites.''
And particularly it is said z, that
"he that rolls up a bed of the brasiers or tinkers (i.e. on the sabbath day) is bound to a sin offering.''
Which was a fold up bed, such as tinkers, and those that went from city to city to work, had; and who carried their beds with them, as the gloss observes; and were so far from being lawful to be carried by them, on the sabbath, that they might not fold them up.
x Maimon. Hilchot Sabbat, c. 12. sect. 6. y Misn. Sabbat, c. 10. sect. 3. z T. Bab. Sabbat, fol. 47. 1. & 138. 1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Not lawful - It was forbidden, they supposed, in the Old Testament. The Jews were very strenuous in the observation of the external duties of religion.
