SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:15
El se fue, y dio aviso a los judíos, que Jess era el que le había sanado.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 5:15
Verse 15. 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.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. The man departed , etc.] From Christ, and from the temple, not through displeasure, or as resenting what was said to him, but as highly delighted that he had found his kind benefactor and physician; and went either to Bethesda, where the miracle was wrought, and where a multitude of people were, and where he might expect to find some of the persons that had questioned him about carrying his bed, and who it was that bid him do it; or rather to the sanhedrim; (see John 5:33) compared with ( John 1:19); and told the Jews ; the members of that great council, the chief priests, scribes, and elders, whose business it was to judge of a prophet, and of anyone that should set up for the Messiah: that it was Jesus ; of Nazareth, of whom so much talk was about his doctrines and miracles, and who was thought to be the Messiah: which had made him whole ; this he did, not out of any ill will to Christ, with any bad design upon him, to impeach and accuse him as a violator of the sabbath, for what he had said and done to him; for this would have been most ungrateful, and even barbarous, brutish, and diabolical; but with a good intention, that Jesus might have the glory of the cure, and that others of his fellow creatures in distress might know where, and from whom to have relief; and chiefly that the sanhedrim might be induced hereby to believe that Jesus was the Messiah, and to declare and patronize him as such: and that his end was good, is clear from this, that he does not say it was Jesus that bid him take up his bed and walk, which was what the Jews cavilled at, not caring to hear of the cure; but that made him whole: he observes the miracle to them with a grateful spirit, to the honour of his physician, and that he might be thought to be what he really was.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-16 - Those eased of the punishment of sin, are in danger of returning to sin, when the terror and restraint are over, unless Divine grace drie up the fountain. The misery believers are made whole from, warns us to sin no more, having felt the smart of sin. This is the voice of ever providence, God, and sin no more. Christ saw it necessary to give thi caution; for it is common for people, when sick, to promise much; when newly recovered, to perform only something; but after awhile to forge all. Christ spoke of the wrath to come, which is beyond compare wors than the many hours, nay, weeks and years of pain, some wicked men have to suffer in consequence of their unlawful indulgences. And if suc afflictions are severe, how dreadful will be the everlasting punishmen of the wicked!
