John 5:8

5:8 Jesus said to him, “Stand up! Pick up your mat ¹  and walk.”

John 5:12

5:12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick up your mat ²  and walk’?” ³ 

John 5:22-23

5:22 Furthermore, the Father does not judge ⁴  anyone, but has assigned ⁵  all judgment to the Son, 5:23 so that all people ⁶  will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

¹ tn Or “pallet,” “mattress,” “cot,” or “stretcher.” Some of these items, however, are rather substantial (e.g., “mattress”) and would probably give the modern English reader a false impression.

² tc While a number of mss, especially the later ones (A^c C³ D Θ Ψ Ë^1,13 33 Ï latt sy), include the words τον κραβ(β)ατ(τ)ον σου (ton krab(b)at(t)on sou, “your mat”) here, the earliest and best (Ì^66,75 א B C* L) do not. Nevertheless, in the translation, it is necessary to supply the words due to the demands of English style, which does not typically allow for understood or implied direct objects as Greek does.

³ tn Grk “Pick up and walk”; the object (the mat) is implied but not repeated.

⁴ tn Or “condemn.”

⁵ tn Or “given,” or “handed over.”

⁶ tn Grk “all.” The word “people” is not in the Greek text but is supplied for stylistic reasons and for clarity (cf. KJV “all men”).
