Jean 5:9

9 Aussitôt cet homme fut guéri; il prit son lit, et marcha. C'était un jour de 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 la piscine quand l'eau est agitée, et, pendant que j'y vais, un autre descend avant moi.

8 Lève-toi, lui dit Jésus, prends ton lit, et marche.

9 Aussitôt cet homme fut guéri; il prit son lit, et marcha. C'était un jour de sabbat.

10 Les Juifs dirent 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: Prends ton lit, et marche.
