13 The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.
13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude
13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place.
13 But the healed man didn't know, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd.
13 But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place.
13 The man didn't know, for Jesus had disappeared into the crowd.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 5:13
Commentary on John 5:10-16
(Read John 5:10-16)
Those eased of the punishment of sin, are in danger of returning to sin, when the terror and restraint are over, unless Divine grace dries up the fountain. The misery believers are made whole from, warns us to sin no more, having felt the smart of sin. This is the voice of every providence, Go, and sin no more. Christ saw it necessary to give this caution; for it is common for people, when sick, to promise much; when newly recovered, to perform only something; but after awhile to forget all. Christ spoke of the wrath to come, which is beyond compare worse than the many hours, nay, weeks and years of pain, some wicked men have to suffer in consequence of their unlawful indulgences. And if such afflictions are severe, how dreadful will be the everlasting punishment of the wicked!
