Jean 5:13

13 Mais celui qui avait été guéri ne savait qui c'était; car Jésus s'était retiré secrètement, parce qu'il y avait foule en ce lieu-là.

Jean 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.

Jean 5:13 In-Context

11 Il leur répondit: Celui qui m'a guéri, m'a dit: Emporte ton lit, et marche.

12 Ils lui demandèrent donc: Qui est cet homme qui t'a dit: Emporte ton lit, et marche?

13 Mais celui qui avait été guéri ne savait qui c'était; car Jésus s'était retiré secrètement, parce qu'il y avait foule en ce lieu-là.

14 Après cela, Jésus le trouva dans le temple, et lui dit: Voilà, tu as été guéri; ne pèche plus, de peur qu'il ne t'arrive quelque chose de pire.

15 Cet homme s'en alla et rapporta aux Juifs que c'était Jésus qui l'avait guéri.
