Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on John 5:10-16.


John 5:16

_ _ because he had done these things on the sabbath day — What to these hypocritical religionists was the doing of the most glorious and beneficent miracles, compared with the atrocity of doing them on the sabbath day! Having given them this handle, on purpose to raise the first public controversy with them, and thus open a fitting opportunity of laying His claims before them, He rises at once to the whole height of them, in a statement which for grandeur and terseness exceeds almost anything that ever afterwards fell from Him, at least to His enemies.

Matthew Henry's Commentary
