Summary

In this verse, after Jesus had healed a man who had been an invalid for 38 years, the man went and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well. This action of the man led to the persecution of Jesus by the Jewish leaders because He was healing on the Sabbath, which they considered a violation of their laws. This verse highlights the growing opposition and conflict between Jesus and the religious authorities, foreshadowing the events that would lead to His crucifixion. It also demonstrates the courage and gratitude of the healed man in acknowledging Jesus as the source of his healing, despite the consequences he faced.

Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

The man departed, and told the Jews - He did not say it was Jesus who had ordered him to carry his bed, but it was Jesus who had cured him; and he left them to draw the inference, viz. That this Jesus must be the miraculous power of God.
