The Healing of the Disabled Man at the Pool (John 5:1).

When John recounts an incident in the life of Jesus we must always ask what it is intended to illustrate, for he always has a purpose in mind. Here the aim is to demonstrate that God is working through Jesus (John 5:17). Here, ‘The lame walk', and indication that Messianic days are here (Matthew 11:5; Luke 7:22 compare Isaiah 35:6). The Judge is here (John 5:14 with John 5:27). Among them is the One Who makes whole (John 5:9; John 5:11; John 5:14 with 25-26).
