Commentary on John 5:6
Jesus' question seems strange: 'Wilt thou be made whole?' After 38 years, wouldn't the answer be obvious? Yet Jesus probes the man's desire and will. Long illness can produce resignation; some become identified with their condition. True healing requires willingness to change. The question also invites faith—recognizing Jesus as one who can heal. Before acting, Jesus engages the man's will.
