The beginning of this chapter sets the seen often observed on Black Friday when people all rush to get into the stores to get the best deal for themselves. That is a spirit opposed to God but it is what you find in that temple of corruption. |
Selfishness was a common theme of Jesus teachings such as the Good Samaritan. |
The Pharisees who had already unmoored the meaning of the sabbath as a way turning into a day. So they coplained about the previous cripple of 38 years carrying his bed and Jesus miraculously healing the man. The Sabbath had been about the Divine Will of working first and avoiding debt and corrupted the teachings of Moses with a bazar interpretations concerning leaven[1] and coveting[2] with their Corban had corrupted the temple as a den of thieves and the people with their covetous practices which was idolatry.[3] |
V14 The crippled man had no family nor friends having been so crippled for 38 years and dependent upon the social welfare system/table of the temple set up by Herod and the Pharisees for his daily bread. Without any skills nor social bonds he had no network of unselfish people to help integrate him back into productive society so he remained in the temple where Jesus found him. |
The treasury that had fed this severely crippled man was still the unrighteous mammon and that welfare support he received was still the wages of unrighteousness because they were the result of covetous practices which again is idolatry.[3]. |
V16 "Jews persecute(ediōkon)[4] Jesus, and sought to slay[5] him" |
"The words, "and sought to slay Him," should be omitted. They have been inserted in some MSS. to explain the first clause of John 5:18." according to Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers. But of course if you read Barnes' Notes on the Bible you can see, "To slay him - To put him to death. This they attempted to do because it was directed in the law of Moses, Exodus 31:15 "Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death."; Exodus 35:2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death." See Put to death. |
Jesus taught The Way for the people to live based on faith, hope and fervent charity instead of force, fear and the fealty that brought the people back under tribute and literally into the bondage of Egypt. This already caused the Pharisees to hate them and what they were doing. |
Because Jesus and John the Baptist had opposed that system of Corban from the beginning of their Gospel of the kingdom frightened and angered many of the political factions at the Altar. |
Jesus and John they knew legal charity through men who exercise authority has always made the word of God to none effect and weakened the poor like in the days of Sodom. |
Jesus forbid such systems.[6] David and Paul warned that their tables of welfare were a snare. Proverbs tells is of the danger of an appetite for the dainties of rulers. Moses led the people out of that captivity which came from eating at those tables. |
John is written much different than Matthew, Mark, and Luke but covers much of the same Sound Doctrine. Jesus makes reference to the fact he is the son of a Father and therefor the Son of God. Augustus Caesar also claimed to be the Son of God and bestowed many benefits on the Pharisees[7] who saw him as a benefactor and Patronus of the Jews. |
John 5 Verse 24 the statement "heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me" is not just an ideological doctrine you say you accept as true. True faith compels action which result in a particular behavior. This why James states that faith without works is dead.[8] Jesus explains what hearing and believing looks like and does not look like. And warns all of the consequences of His executive authority in verse 27. Because he is sent by the Father who art in heaven and not by the fathers or the Patronus of the earth. By verse 29 Jesus will qualify what that faith looks like "And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation." This is no different than the context concerning being Born again. If you do evil,(John 3:20 "For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."), if you are workers of iniquity you are rejected by God no matter what you say you believe, |
John the Baptist as a light and who some saw as the rightful high priest bore witness of Jesus as the one who is to come after him when he was gone but if Jesus had executive authority and held the office of Son of God, priest and king, those who did not hear him were in danger of those "worse thing" mentioned in V14. |
We need to Hear the actual words of the real Jesus and becoming doers is our witness and not just say we are believers. |
By verse 44 he says they are not doing what Moses said which includes their interpretation of the Sabbath, leaven, steps, breeches, unhewn stones, etc.. |
By the end of the chapter we know that the Pharisees of that time had the Torah all wrong. John 5:47 "But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?" But they cannot see because they do not know the father and the truth is not in them.[9] |
Questions |
Are you a real Believer? |
If you not know what Jesus told us to do how can you doeth what He said? |
If we are doing the Corban of the Pharisees do we deserve the rejection of Jesus despite the fact you say Lord, Lord? |
If you are not a doer then can the Love of God abide in you? |
Why don't the Modern Christians and Jews see that the modern version of that covetous system of Corban in the form of legal charity including the benefits of Social Security causes a break down of the family so that they do "no more to do ought for his father or his mother"? |
The Healing at the Pool on the Sabbath
1 ¶ After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
Crippled since the days of Herod
5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
The selfishness in the temple
7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. 8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
Blindness of Sabbath keepers
10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. 11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. 12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? 13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
Still sinning in the temple
14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. 15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole. 16 And therefore did the Jews persecute[4] Jesus, and sought to slay[5] him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
Jesus Is Equal with God
17 ¶ But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. 18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
The Authority of the Son
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. 20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. 21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth[10] them; even so the Son quickeneth[10] whom he will. 22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
Need to hear
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Witnesses to Jesus
30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. 32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. 33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth. 34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.[11] 35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
Greater than John
36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
The word not in you
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. 39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. 41 I receive not honour from men.
No love of God
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. 43 I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. 44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
Not Believers
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. 46 For had ye believed Moses[12], ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

- ↑ Bread of oppression
- Matthew 16:6 "Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees... 11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not to you concerning daily bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 Then understood they how that he bade [them] not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
- Mark 8:15 "And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod."
- Matthew 16:11 "How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?"
- Mark 8:15 "And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod."
- Luke 12:1 "In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy."
- Jesus and John the Baptist opposed the leaven of Herod, the Pharisees and of the Sadducees because they misinterpreted the way of Moses and the LORD. They collected the resources for their tables of welfare, their social safety net of free bread and care for the needy of society through forced offerings. Peter, Paul, David, and the prophets have been warned us that such covetous practices were setting a snare and a trap. Herod and the Pharisees had set up a system of legal charity rather than fervent charity which always makes the word of God to none effect so that Christ would say the kingdom of God shall be taken from them and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits. We should know that their system "degenerates" the "masses" until they become "perfect savages". Legal charity and its benefits and dainties provided through men who exercise authority are the wages of unrighteousness and the covetous practices that makes men merchandise and will curse children.
- ↑ Jesus against covetousness
- Mark 7:9 "And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition." See Corban.
- Mark 7:20 "And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."
- Luke 12:15 "And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth."
- Luke 16:14 "And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God."
- Luke 21:34 "And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and [so] that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth."
- Matthew 19:17 "And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."
- John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments."
- John 14:21 "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him."
- John 15:10 "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love."
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 Covetousness is idolatry
- Colossians 3:5 "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:"
- Ephesians 5:5 "For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."
- 1 Corinthians 5:10 "Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."
- For it is written that the tables of dainties provided by rulers of the world are a snare because they cause the masses to bite one another through government systems of legal charity which are covetous practices which are a form of fornication or adultery where the people are devoured as merchandise, curse children and are "entangled again in the yoke of bondage" with the aid of the false religion of the whore who rides the beast.

- ↑ Dead faith
- James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? ... 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? ... 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."
