Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary

Untitled

Translated Open passage

We have in the gospels a faithful record of all that Jesus began both to do and to teach, Ac 1:1. These two are interwoven, because what he taught explained what he did, and what he did confirmed what he taught. Accordingly, we have in this chapter a miracle and a sermon. I. The miracle was the cure of an impotent man that had been diseased thirty-eight years, with the circumstances of that cure, Joh 5:1-16. II. The sermon was Christ's vindication of himself before the sanhedrim, when he was prosecuted as a criminal for healing the man on the sabbath day, in which, 1. He asserts his authority as Messiah, and Mediator between God and man, Joh 5:17-29. 2. He proves it by the testimony of his Father, of John Baptist, of his miracles, and of the scriptures of the Old Testament, and condemns the Jews for their unbelief, Joh 5:30-47.

John 5 Introduction

Translated Open passage

The man who had been diseased thirty-eight years healed on the Sabbath day, John 5:1-9. The Jews cavil, persecute Christ, and seek to kill him, because he had done this cure on the Sabbath, John 5:10-16. Our Lord vindicates his conduct, and shows, from the testimony of the Father, the Scriptures, John the Baptist, and his own works, that he came from God, to be the light and salvation of the world, vv. 17-39. He reproves the Jews for their obstinacy, John 5:40; hatred to God, John 5:41, John 5:42; pride, John 5:43, John 5:44; and disbelief of their own law, John 5:45-47.

John 5 Introduction

Translated Open passage

Chaps. 5–11. The Work among mixed multitudes, chiefly Jews

The Work now becomes a conflict between Christ and “the Jews;” for as Christ reveals Himself more fully, the opposition between Him and the ruling party becomes more intense; and the fuller revelation which excites the hatred of His opponents serves also to sift the disciples; some turn back, others are strengthened in their faith by what they see and hear. The Evangelist from time to time points out the opposite results of Christ’s work: comp. John 6:60-71, John 7:40-52, John 9:13-41, John 10:19; John 10:21; John 10:39-42, John 11:45-57.

Thus far we have had the announcement of the Gospel to the world, and the reception it is destined to meet with, set forth in four typical instances; Nathanael, the guileless Israelite, truly religious according to the light allowed him; Nicodemus, the learned ecclesiastic, skilled in the Scriptures, but ignorant of the first elements of religion; the Samaritan woman, immoral in life and schismatical in religion, but simple in heart and readily convinced; and the royal official, weak in faith, but progressing gradually to a full conviction. But as yet there is little evidence of hostility to Christ, although the Evangelist prepares us for it (John 1:11, John 2:18-20, John 3:18-19; John 3:26, John 4:44). Henceforth, however, hostility to Him is manifested in every chapter of this division. Two elements are placed in the sharpest contrast throughout; the Messiah’s clearer manifestation of His Person and Work, and the growing animosity of ‘the Jews’ in consequence of it. Two miracles form the introduction to two great discourses: two miracles illustrate two discourses. The healing at Bethesda and the feeding of the 5000 lead to discourses in which Christ is set forth as the Source and the Support of Life (5, 6). Then He is set forth as the Source of Truth and Light; and this is illustrated by His giving physical and spiritual sight to the blind (7–9). Finally He is set forth as Love under the figure of the Good Shepherd giving His life for the sheep; and this is illustrated by the raising of Lazarus, a work of love which costs Him His life (10, 11). Thus, of four typical miracles, two form the introduction and two form the sequel to great discourses. The prevailing idea throughout is truth and love provoking contradiction and enmity.

CHAPTER 5

Chap. 5. Christ the Source of Life

In chaps. 5 and 6 the word ‘life’ occurs 18 times; in the rest of the Gospel 18 times.

This chapter falls into two main divisions; (1) The Sign at the Pool of Bethesda and its Sequel (1–16); (2) The Discourse on the Son as the Source of Life (17–47).

CHAPTER 5

John 5:1. ἐορτή] C. E. F. H. L. M. Δ. Π. א. Cursives, Copt. Sahid. Cyr. Theophyl.: ἡ ἑορτή. So Tisch. But the witnesses against the article are still stronger (A. B. D. etc. Or.); and how easily might the insertion have occurred through the ancient explanation of the feast as that of Easter!

John 5:2. ἐπὶ τῇ προβατικῇ] ἐν τ. πρ. is more weakly attested (though sanctioned by A. D. G. L. א.**). Only א.* Cursives, some Verss. and Fathers have simply προβατική. A change following another construction (sheep-pool). Unnecessary, and unsupported on critical grounds, is the conjecture of Gersdorf: ἡ προβατικὴ κολυμβήθρα ἡ λεγομένη Ἐβρ. Βηθ. Tisch. following א.* has τὸ λεγόμενον instead of ἠ ἐπιλεγομένη.

John 5:3. τολύ] wanting in B. C. D. L. א. Cursives, and some verss. Bracketed by Lachmann, deleted by Tisch. A strengtheningaddition that might easily present itself.

The words ἐκδεχομ. τὴν τοῦ ὓδατος κίνησιν, together with the whole of John 5:4, are wanting in B. C.* D. א. 157, 314, Copt. Ms. Sahid. Syrcu. Those words are wanting only in A. L. 18; the fourth verse only in D. 33, Arm. Mss. Codd. It. Aug., Nonnus (who describes the stirring, but does not mention the angel), and is marked as doubtful in other witnesses by an obelus or asterisks. There is, moreover, great variation in particular words. For κατέβαινεν, A. K. Verss. have even ἐλούετο, which Grotius approves. The entire passage from ἐκδεχομ. to the end of John 5:4, though recognised by Tertullian (Origen is silent), is a legendary addition (so also Lücke, Olshausen, Baeumlein, and now even Brückner, reject it), though left in the text by Lachmann in conformity with his principles, but deleted by Tisch.; by de Wette not decidedly rejected; vindicated on various grounds by B. Crusius, Hahn, Theol. N. T. I. 303, Lange, Reuss, and Hengstenberg; left doubtful by Luthardt. Had the passage been genuine, its contents would have led more easily to its being retained than to its being omitted; moreover, the comparatively numerous ἅπαξ λεγόμενα in it make it suspicious, viz. κίνησιν, ταραχή, δήποτε (instead of ᾧ δήποτε Lachmann has οἱῳδηποτοῦν), νόσημα. When it is judged (de Wette) that John would hardly have ended the sentence with ξηρῶν, and then have immediately proceeded with ἦν δέ τις, etc., this is really arbitrary, for we would miss nothing if nothing had been there; ὅταν ταραχθῇ τὸ ὕδωρ, John 5:7, by no means makes a preceding explanation “almost necessary,” but probably states the original form of the popular belief, out of which the legend soon developed itself and found its way into the text. This also against Hofmann, Schriftbeweis, I. 327 f., whose vindication of John 5:4 is approved by Hilgenfeld, Evang. p. 268. Ewald (so also Tholuck and Godet) rejects John 5:4, but defends the words ἐχδεχομένων … κίνησιν in John 5:3 for the sake of John 5:7; Hofmann, in loc., follows an opposite course. But the critical witnesses do not sanction such a separation.

John 5:5. καὶ is wanting in the Elz., and is bracketed by Lachmann, but adopted by Tisch., and this upon preponderating evidence.

ἀσθεν.] B. C.* D. L. א. Cursives, Codd. It. Vulg. Copt. Sahid. Arm. Cyr. Chrys. append αὐτοῦ, which Lachmann puts in brackets, and Tisch. receives. Rightly; between ἀσθενει A and ΤΟΥτον the superfluous ΑΥΤΟΥ might easily escape notice.

John 5:7. For βάλῃ Elz. has βάλλῃ, against decisive evidence.

John 5:8. ἔγειρε] Elz.: ἔγειραι, against the best Codd. See the critical notes on Mark 2:2.

John 5:12. τὸν κράββ. σου is wanting in B. C.* L. א. Sahid. An addition from John 5:8; John 5:11. Deleted by Tisch.

John 5:13. ἰαθείς] Tisch., following D. and Codd. of the It., reads ἀσθενῶν, apparently original, but inappropriate after τῷ τεθεραπευμμένῳ in John 5:10; to be regarded as a subject added to John 5:7, and besides this too weakly supported.

John 5:15. ἀνήγγειλε] C. L. א. Syr. Syrcu. Copt. Cyr. read εἶπεν; D. K U. D. Cursives, Chrys.: ἀπήγγ. The latter reading might easily arise by joining ἀνήγγ. with ἀπῆλθεν; but this makes the testimonies against εἶπεν, which Tisch. adopts, still stronger.

John 5:16. After Ἰουδαῖοι, Elz., Scholz (bracketed by Lachmann), read καὶ ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι, against decisive witnesses. A supplement borrowed from John 5:18.

John 5:20. Tisch.: θαυμάζετε, which is far too weakly supported by L. א.

John 5:25. ζήσονται] Lachmann and Tisch.: ζήσουσιν, following B. D. L. א. Cursives, Chrys. Rightly; the more usual form crept in.

John 5:30. After με Elz. has πατρὸς, an addition opposed by decisive witnesses.

John 5:32. οἶδα] Tisch. οἴδατε, following only D. א. Codd. It. Syrcu. Arm.

John 5:35. The form ἀγαλλιαθῆναι (Elz., following B.: ἀγαλλιασθῆναι) has preponderating evidence in its favour.

Joh 5:1-47.

Translated Open passage

Joh 5:1-47.

THE IMPOTENT MAN HEALED--DISCOURSE OCCASIONED BY THE PERSECUTION ARISING THEREUPON.

1. a feast of the Jews--What feast? No question has more divided the Harmonists of the Gospels, and the duration of our Lord's ministry may be said to hinge on it. For if, as the majority have thought (until of late years) it was a Passover, His ministry lasted three and a half years; if not, probably a year less. Those who are dissatisfied with the Passover-view all differ among themselves what other feast it was, and some of the most acute think there are no grounds for deciding. In our judgment the evidence is in favor of its being a Passover, but the reasons cannot be stated here.
