Commentary on John 5:6

Theological / Devotional

Wilt thou? Too great emphasis on the function of the will implied in this question should be avoided, for the Greek conveys the simple sense, “Do you wish to be healed?” Jesus’ question was rhetorical, for it was obvious that the man desired release from his disease, but it served to turn the sufferer’s attention immediately to Jesus and to the problem of healing from his affliction.
