John 5:10 Themes and Topics

AFTER these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem near the sheep-market a pool, called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porticos. In these lay a vast multitude of infirm persons, blind, lame, withered, waiting the motion of the water. read more.
For occasionally an angel descended into the pool, and put the water into commotion: he therefore who first stepped in after the commotion of the water became well, under whatever complaint he had laboured. And there was a certain man there, who had a complaint of thirty years standing. Jesus seeing him laid there, and knowing that he had been so for a long while, saith to him, Wilt thou be made sound? The infirm man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is disturbed, to cast me into the pool: but when I am coming, another goeth down before me. Jesus saith to him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk. And instantly the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked away: and that day was the sabbath. The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. He answered them, He that made me whole, the same person said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk. Then they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? Now he that was cured knew not who he was: for Jesus had slipped away, a crowd being on the spot. After these things Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Take care; thou art made whole: sin no more, lest something worse befall thee. The man went, and informed the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole. And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath-day.
