Matthew Poole and continuators on John 5:11

11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed and walk .

He makes them as good an Answer as could well be imagined; the sum of which was, he believed that he that had thus Healed him, was a Prophet, and so did what he did by a Divine Authority, which it was Lawful for him to Obey, contrary to their Traditions; tho who this particular Person was, or what his Name was, were things as yet not known to him (as we shall by and by read) yet he seemeth sensible that he was Healed by a Power more than Humane.
