Jean 5:9

9 Et aussitôt l'homme fut guéri; et il prit son lit, et marcha. Or, ce jour-là était un sabbat.

Jean 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.

Jean 5:9 In-Context

7 Le malade lui répondit: Seigneur, je n'ai personne pour me jeter dans le réservoir quand l'eau est troublée, et, pendant que j'y vais, un autre y descend avant moi.
8 Jésus lui dit: Lève-toi, emporte ton lit, et marche.
9 Et aussitôt l'homme fut guéri; et il prit son lit, et marcha. Or, ce jour-là était un sabbat.
10 Les Juifs disaient donc à celui qui avait été guéri: C'est le sabbat; il ne t'est pas permis d'emporter ton lit.
11 Il leur répondit: Celui qui m'a guéri, m'a dit: Emporte ton lit, et marche.
