Yochanan 5:9 Meaning and Commentary

John 5:9

And immediately the man was made whole
As soon as ever the words were spoken by Christ, such power went with them, as restored the man to perfect health; and he finding himself to be quite well, rose up directly:

and took up his bed and walked;
which may be expressive of a sinner's rising from the bed of sin, and taking up the cross, or carrying the body of sin and death with him; and walking by faith in Christ, as he has received him:

and on the same day was the sabbath;
which is remarked, for the sake of what follows.

Yochanan 5:9 In-Context

7 In reply, the choleh (sick one) said, Adoni, I have no one, when the mayim is disturbed, to put me into the pool. While I am coming, someone steps into the pool ahead of me.

8 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Rise up, take your mat and walk.

9 And immediately the man received his refu’ah (healing) and took his mat and was walking around. And that day was Shabbos.

10 So those of Yehudah were saying to the one having been granted refu’ah (healing), It is Shabbos, so it is asur (prohibited), it is chillul Shabbos [desecration of Shabbat] for you to carry your mat. [NECHEMYAH 13:1522; YIRMEYAH 17:21]

11 But the man in reply said to them, The one having given me refu’ah, that one said to me, Take up your mat and walk!
