Footnotes

  2. 28 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.
  3. 29 Or “the Jewish authorities”; Grk “the Jews.” See the note on the phrase “Jewish leaders” in v. .
  4. 30 Or “harassing.”
