John 5:11-13

5:11 But he answered them, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat ¹  and walk.’” 5:12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick up your mat ²  and walk’?” ³  5:13 But the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped out, since there was a crowd in that place.

[5:11]  ¹ tn Or “pallet,” “mattress,” “cot,” or “stretcher.” See the note on “mat” in v. 8.

[5:12]  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.

[5:12]  ³ tn Grk “Pick up and walk”; the object (the mat) is implied but not repeated.
