John 5:11
He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
He answered them,.... That is, the impotent man, who was now made whole, replied to the Jews:
He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed and walk; intimating, that he that had such divine power, as to make him whole, had power to dispense with the sabbath, and such an action on it; and that his word was warrant and authority sufficient, to support him in what he did; for he that had wrought this cure for him, he concluded must be from God; was at least a great prophet, and to be hearkened to and obeyed, in one thing as well as another.
