Giovanni 5:13

13 Ma colui ch’era stato guarito non sapeva chi fosse; perché Gesù era scomparso, essendovi in quel luogo molta gente.

Giovanni 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.

Giovanni 5:13 In-Context

11 Ma egli rispose loro: E’ colui che m’ha guarito, che m’ha detto: Prendi il tuo lettuccio e cammina.

12 Essi gli domandarono: Chi è quell’uomo che t’ha detto: Prendi il tuo lettuccio e cammina?

13 Ma colui ch’era stato guarito non sapeva chi fosse; perché Gesù era scomparso, essendovi in quel luogo molta gente.

14 Di poi Gesù lo trovò nel tempio, e gli disse: Ecco, tu sei guarito; non peccar più, che non t’accada di peggio.

15 Quell’uomo se ne andò, e disse ai Giudei che Gesù era quel che l’avea risanato.
