Contextual Overview
1After these things there was a celebration of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 2and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep-[gate] a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches, 3in these were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, [[waiting for the moving of the water, 4for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.]] 5And there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty-eight years, 6him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, He says to him, "Do you wish to become whole?" 7The ailing man answered Him, "Lord, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another goes down before me." 8Jesus says to him, "Rise, take up your pallet, and be walking"; 9and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his pallet, and was walking, and it was a Sabbath on that day, 10the Jews then said to him that has been healed, "It is a Sabbath; it is not lawful to you to take up the pallet."

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.
