This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
10. οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι. The hostile party, as usual, and perhaps members of the Sanhedrin (Joh 1:19). They ignore the cure, and notice only what can be attacked. They had the letter of the law strongly on their side: comp. Exo 23:12; Exo 31:14; Exo 35:2-3; Num 15:32; Neh 13:15; and especially Jer 17:21. Acts of healing (except in urgent cases) and carrying furniture were among the thirty kinds of work forbidden by the fourth commandment, according to Rabbinical interpretation.

τῷ τεθεραπευομένῳ. To the man that had been cured. Contrast ὁ ἰαθείς in Joh 5:13.
