Commentary on John 5:10

Theological / Devotional

The sabbath. This is the first of seven recorded Sabbath miracles (see miracles 3,5,6,9,27-29, listed on pp. 210-213). Now for the first time Jesus openly challenged the rabbinical Sabbath regulations (see on Mark 1:22; 2:23-28; 7:6-13). That He did so when the city was filled with visitors for the feast, and that He dramatized His rejection of such traditions by performing a miracle and publicizing it by having the man carry his bed, demonstrate the importance He attached to the question. See on John 5:10, 16.
