But he answered ( hos de apekrithē ).

Demonstrative hos (But this one) and deponent use of apekrithē (first aorist passive indicative of apokrinomai with no passive force).

Robertson: Joh 5:11 - -- The same ( ekeinos ). "That one,"emphatic demonstrative as often in John (Joh 1:18, Joh 1:33; Joh 9:37; Joh 10:1, etc.). The man did not know who Jes...

The same ( ekeinos ).

"That one,"emphatic demonstrative as often in John (Joh 1:18, Joh 1:33; Joh 9:37; Joh 10:1, etc.). The man did not know who Jesus was nor even his name. He quotes the very words of Jesus.

Robertson: Joh 5:11 - -- Whole ( hugiē ). Predicate accusative agreeing with me (me).

Whole ( hugiē ).

Predicate accusative agreeing with me (me).

Vincent: Joh 5:11 - -- He that made - the same ( ὁ ποιήσας - ἐκεῖνος ) The demonstrative pronoun points with emphasis to the subject of the pre...

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.

JFB: Joh 5:10-16 - -- That is, those in authority. (See on Joh 1:19.)

That is, those in authority. (See on Joh 1:19.)

JFB: Joh 5:10-16 - -- A glorious testimony to the cure, as instantaneous and complete, from the lips of the most prejudiced! (And what a contrast does it, as all our Lord's...

A glorious testimony to the cure, as instantaneous and complete, from the lips of the most prejudiced! (And what a contrast does it, as all our Lord's miracles, present to the bungling miracles of the Church of Rome!) In ordinary circumstances, the rulers had the law on their side (Neh 13:15; Jer 17:21). But when the man referred them to "Him that had made him whole" (Joh 5:11) as his authority, the argument was resistless. Yet they ingeniously parried the thrust, asking him, not who had "made him whole"--that would have condemned themselves and defeated their purpose--but who had bidden him "take up his bed and walk," in other words, who had dared to order a breach of the sabbath? It is time we were looking after Him--thus hoping to shake the man's faith in his Healer.

Clarke: Joh 5:11 - -- 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 ma...

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.

TSK: Joh 5:11 - -- Joh 9:16; Mar 2:9-11

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.

Poole: Joh 5:11 - -- He makes them as good an answer as could well be imagined; the sum of which was, he believed that he that had thus healed him was a prophet, and so ...

He makes them as good an answer as could well be imagined; the sum of which was, he believed that he that had thus healed him was a prophet, and so did what he did by a Divine authority, which it was lawful for him to obey, contrary to their traditions: though who this particular person was, or what his name was, were things as yet not known to him, (as we shall by and by read), yet he seemeth sensible that he was healed by a power more than human.

Gill: Joh 5:11 - -- He answered them,.... That is, the impotent man, who was now made whole, replied to the Jews: he that made me whole, the same said unto me, take up...

He answered them,.... That is, the impotent man, who was now made whole, replied to the Jews:

he that made me whole, the same said unto me, take up thy bed and walk; intimating, that he that had such divine power, as to make him whole, had power to dispense with the sabbath, and such an action on it; and that his word was warrant and authority sufficient, to support him in what he did; for he that had wrought this cure for him, he concluded must be from God; was at least a great prophet, and to be hearkened to and obeyed, in one thing as well as another.
