Study Notes

Jesus Heals at the Pool of Bethesda

Jesus traveled to Jerusalem for a feast, indicating his participation in Jewish traditions.
The pool mentioned is located by the Sheep Gate, a significant entrance to the city.
Numerous invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed—were gathered at the pool, awaiting healing.

The Healing Miracle

One man had been at the pool for 38 years, highlighting his long suffering.
The pool's water was believed to be stirred, prompting the sick to seek healing.
Jesus instructed the man to "Get up, take up your bed and walk," demonstrating authority over sickness.

The Sabbath Controversy

The healing occurred on the Sabbath, leading to disputes about legality regarding carrying a bed.
Jesus’ command to the man contradicted Jewish laws surrounding the Sabbath, leading to tensions with religious leaders.

Recognition and Testimony

The healed man did not immediately know who healed him, as Jesus had withdrawn from the crowd.
Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple and advised him to "sin no more" to avoid worse consequences.

Revelation of Identity

The man reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who healed him, which led to persecution because Jesus performed miracles on the Sabbath.
Jesus referred to God as His Father, thereby equating Himself with God, intensifying the conflict with the authorities.

Relationship Between the Father and the Son

Jesus stated he could do nothing by Himself but only what he sees the Father doing, emphasizing His divine connection.
The Father possesses the authority to raise the dead and give life, a claim that underscores Jesus' divine mission.

Eternal Life and Judgment

Jesus promised eternal life to whoever hears His word and believes in God, illustrating the path to salvation.
He indicated that all who are in their graves will hear the voice of the Son of God, demonstrating His power over life and death.

Fulfillment of the Scriptures

The testimony of John the Baptist corroborated Jesus’ identity as the Messiah, serving as a light to the people.
Jesus criticized the religious leaders for not truly knowing God, despite their diligent study of Scriptures that testify about Him.

Accusation and Belief

Jesus stated He does not accept praise from men and noted that the love of God was lacking in their hearts.
He asserted that Moses, whom they revered, would accuse them if they did not believe his writings, which pointed to Jesus as the coming Messiah.
