This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 5:14. Μετὰ ταῦτα, afterwards) either on the same or another day, or a Sabbath.-ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, in the temple) The participation in public Divine worship more affects him, who had been a long time ill, than it does all the rest.-μηκέτι, do not hereafter) Therefore the man had been previously a sinner; nor was he free from great danger of falling into sin again. Comp. ch. Joh 8:11, [To the woman caught in adultery] “Go and sin no more.” This admonition, now that some interval bad elapsed since his healing, was the more necessary.-χεῖρόν τι, something worse) some heavier calamity than the infirmity even of thirty-eight years’ standing.-γένηται, befall) owing to a new, and that a heavier visitation of God’s wrath.
