Contextual Overview
1Later on, Jesus went back to Jerusalem for another Jewish festival.
2When you go in the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem, there is a pool called Bethesda. Around the water are five covered porches.
3Under these porch coverings lay the blind, lame, and paralyzed.
4Every once in a while, an angel would ride down and stir up the water. When this happened, the first one to get in the water would be healed.
5One man had been lying there sick for thirty-eight years.
6Someone told Jesus about the man. Jesus went over to him and asked the man, "How would you like to be made well?"
7"Sir, when the angel stirs the water, the first one in is healed, but someone always gets there before me."
8Jesus said to him, "Get up, take your bedroll and walk out of here."
9The man was instantly healed. He rolled up his bedroll and began walking around. This all happened on the day of rest,
10so the Jewish leaders weren't too happy about it. They approached the man and said, "You can't be carrying your bedroll around on the day of rest. That is against our laws."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
He answered them,.... That is, the impotent man, who was now made whole, replied to the Jews:
he that made me whole, the same said unto me, take up thy bed and walk; intimating, that he that had such divine power, as to make him whole, had power to dispense with the sabbath, and such an action on it; and that his word was warrant and authority sufficient, to support him in what he did; for he that had wrought this cure for him, he concluded must be from God; was at least a great prophet, and to be hearkened to and obeyed, in one thing as well as another.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
He that made me whole - The man reasoned correctly. If Jesus had power to work so signal a miracle, he had a right to explain the law. If he had conferred so great a favor on him, he had a right to expect obedience; and we may learn that the mercy of God in pardoning our sins, or in bestowing any signal blessing, imposes the obligation to obey him. We should yield obedience to him according to what we Know to be his will, whatever may be the opinions of men, or whatever interpretation they may put on the law of God. our business is a simple, hearty, child-like obedience, let the men of the world say or think of us as they choose.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse John 5:11. He that made me whole, c.] The poor man reasoned conclusively:- He who could work such a miracle must be at least the best of men: now a good man will neither do evil himself, nor command others to do it: but he who cured me ordered me to carry my bed therefore, there can be no evil in it.
