John 5:12 - Forerunner Commentary

John 5:12

10 The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath; ^ait is not lawful for you to carry your bed.”

11 He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.’ ”

12 Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?”

13 But the one who was ^ahealed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place.

14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. ^aSin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.”

15 The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

16 For this reason the Jews ^apersecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath.
