This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
Ver. 8. Rise, take up thy bed, &c.] A servile work upon the sabbath day. This our Saviour here commends not as a servile work, but for confirmation of the truth of a miracle greatly tending to God’s glory; like as, another time, he bade them give meat to the damsel he had raised, not for any necessity, but to insure the cure.
