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

He answered them,.... That is, the impotent man, who was now made whole, replied to the Jews:

he that made me whole, the same said unto me, take up thy bed and walk; intimating, that he that had such divine power, as to make him whole, had power to dispense with the sabbath, and such an action on it; and that his word was warrant and authority sufficient, to support him in what he did; for he that had wrought this cure for him, he concluded must be from God; was at least a great prophet, and to be hearkened to and obeyed, in one thing as well as another.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He that made me whole - The man reasoned correctly. If Jesus had power to work so signal a miracle, he had a right to explain the law. If he had conferred so great a favor on him, he had a right to expect obedience; and we may learn that the mercy of God in pardoning our sins, or in bestowing any signal blessing, imposes the obligation to obey him. We should yield obedience to him according to what we Know to be his will, whatever may be the opinions of men, or whatever interpretation they may put on the law of God. our business is a simple, hearty, child-like obedience, let the men of the world say or think of us as they choose.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse John 5:11. He that made me whole, c.] The poor man reasoned conclusively:- He who could work such a miracle must be at least the best of men: now a good man will neither do evil himself, nor command others to do it: but he who cured me ordered me to carry my bed therefore, there can be no evil in it.
