Johannes 5:13

13 Der aber geheilt worden war, wußte nicht, wer es war; denn Jesus war gewichen, da so viel Volks an dem Ort war.

Johannes 5:13 Meaning and Commentary

John 5:13

And he that was healed, wist not who he was
He had never seen, and perhaps had never heard of Christ before, and so knew him not; and besides, Christ gave him no opportunity of conversing with him, or so much as to ask him who he was:

for Jesus had conveyed himself away;
had slipped away, as soon as ever he had wrought the miracle:

a multitude being in [that] place;
or "from the multitude that were in [that] place"; not that he hid himself among them, and there remained undiscovered; but he passed through them, and went his way to the temple, where he found the man he had healed, as in the following verse.

Johannes 5:13 In-Context

11 Er antwortete ihnen: Der mich gesund machte, der sprach zu mir: "Nimm dein Bett und gehe hin!"

12 Da fragten sie ihn: Wer ist der Mensch, der zu dir gesagt hat: "Nimm dein Bett und gehe hin!"?

13 Der aber geheilt worden war, wußte nicht, wer es war; denn Jesus war gewichen, da so viel Volks an dem Ort war.

14 Darnach fand ihn Jesus im Tempel und sprach zu ihm: Siehe zu, du bist gesund geworden; sündige hinfort nicht mehr, daß dir nicht etwas Ärgeres widerfahre.

15 Der Mensch ging hin und verkündete es den Juden, es sei Jesus, der ihn gesund gemacht habe.
