John 5:16

Context
Responding to Jewish Leaders

5:16 Now because Jesus was doing these things 1  on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders 2  began persecuting 3  him.

1 sn Note the plural phrase these things which seems to indicate that Jesus healed on the Sabbath more than once (cf. John 20:30). The synoptic gospels show this to be true; the incident in 5:1-15 has thus been chosen by the author as representative.

2 tn Or “the Jewish authorities”; Grk “the Jews.” See the note on the phrase “Jewish leaders” in v. 10.

3 tn Or “harassing.”
