Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| He that made me whole - The man reasoned correctly. If Jesus had power to work so signal a miracle, he had a right to explain the law. If he had conferred so great a favor on him, he had a right to expect obedience; and we may learn that the mercy of God in pardoning our sins, or in bestowing any signal blessing, imposes the obligation to obey him. We should yield obedience to him according to what we Know to be his will, whatever may be the opinions of men, or whatever interpretation they may put on the law of God. our business is a simple, hearty, child-like obedience, let the men of the world say or think of us as they choose. |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
He that made - the same (ὁ ποιήσας - ἐκεῖνος)
The demonstrative pronoun points with emphasis to the subject of the preceding clause. A characteristic usage of John. See Joh 1:18, Joh 1:33; Joh 9:37; Joh 10:1; Joh 12:48, etc. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| He that made me whole, etc. - The poor man reasoned conclusively: - He who could work such a miracle must be at least the best of men: now a good man will neither do evil himself, nor command others to do it: but he who cured me ordered me to carry my bed; therefore, there can be no evil in it. |
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
