João 5:13

13 Mas o que fora curado não sabia quem era; porque Jesus se retirara, por haver muita gente naquele lugar.

João 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.

João 5:13 In-Context

11 Ele, porém, lhes respondeu: Aquele que me curou, esse mesmo me disse: Toma o teu leito e anda.

12 Perguntaram-lhe, pois: Quem é o homem que te disse: Toma o teu leito e anda?

13 Mas o que fora curado não sabia quem era; porque Jesus se retirara, por haver muita gente naquele lugar.

14 Depois Jesus o encontrou no templo, e disse-lhe: Olha, já estás curado; não peques mais, para que não te suceda coisa pior.

15 Retirou-se, então, o homem, e contou aos judeus que era Jesus quem o curara.
