Juan 5:9

9 Y luego aquel hombre fué sano, y tomó su lecho, é íbase. Y era sábado aquel día.

Juan 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.

Juan 5:9 In-Context

7 Señor, le respondió el enfermo, no tengo hombre que me meta en el estánque cuando el agua fuere revuelta; porque entre tanto que yo vengo, otro antes de mí ha descendido.
8 Dícele Jesús: Levántate, toma tu lecho, y anda.
9 Y luego aquel hombre fué sano, y tomó su lecho, é íbase. Y era sábado aquel día.
10 Entonces los Judíos decían á aquel que había sido sanado: Sábado es: no te es lícito llevar tu lecho.
11 Respondióles: El que me sanó, él mismo me dijo: Toma tu lecho y anda.
