1. Jesus on the Sabbath day cures him who was diseased thirty-eight years.
10. The Jews therefore object, and persecute him for it.
17. He answers for himself, and reproves them, showing by the testimony of his Father,

36. of his works,
39. and of the Scriptures, who he is.














(8) Jesus saith unto him.--There is no formal demand, or formal statement of faith as preceding the healing. (Comp., e.g., Notes on Matthew 13:58; Mark 9:24.) Men have often wondered at this. If faith is an expression in words or anything outside man, then there is room for wonder; but if it be a living principle, the "seeing Him who is invisible" (Hebrews 11:27), then surely we may seek in vain for a more striking instance of its power than in this man; who in all, and through all, and in spite of all, trusted in, and looked for, the mercy of God, and had faith to be healed.

Jesus sees in him this receptive power, which in his very helplessness is strength, and calls it forth. He who could barely move is told to rise! he who had for eight-and-thirty years lain on his bed is to carry that bed and walk!

Verse 8. - Jesus smith to him, Rise, take up thy bed (κράββατόν σου) - thy mattress or pallet; the word is said to be of Macedonian origin, it is Latinized in the Vulgate into grabbatus, and is not unfrequently found in the New Testament (Mark 2:4, 9; Mark 6:55; Acts 5:15; Acts 9:33); the ordinary Greek word σκίμπους σκιμπόδον - and walk. These are in part the identical words which Jesus addressed to the paralytic (Mark 2:9). He did not touch him or use any other means than his own life-giving word to confer the cure. He put forth, in royal might and spontaneous unsolicited exertion, the miraculous force. The energy of the Lord's will mastered the palsied will of the sick man, and infused into him the lacking energy. Archdeacon Watkins supposes that the man did possess incipient and recipient faith, moved by the generous tenderness and sympathetic interest of the Stranger in his ease. The very striking fact mentioned in the synoptic cure of the paralytic, viz. that he was borne into the presence of Jesus by four friends, ought to have prevented Thoma's caricature of criticism, which makes this narrative a mere idealization of that.
