John Chapter 5, Verse 8
From BibleWiki
8: λεγει αυτω ο ιησους εγειραι αρον τον κραββατον σου και περιπατει
8: Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
8: Jesus saith to him: Arise, take up thy bed and walk.
Rise, take up, &c. Jesus not only restored him to health, but he gave evidence to those around him that this was a real miracle, and that he was really healed. For almost forty years he had been afflicted. He was not even able to walk. Jesus commanded him not only to walk, but to take up his bed also, and carry that as proof that he was truly made whole.
Thy bed. Thy couch; or the mattress or clothes on which he lay.
