Clarke's Commentary on the BibleAnd sought to slay him - This clause is omitted by BCDL, some others, and several ancient versions. Griesbach has left it out of the text; and Professor White says, certissime delenda: but it does not appear to me that it should be omitted. However, it was true of the Jews, whether the words were originally in the evangelist or not. For what cause did these persons seek to destroy our Lord? Because he had healed a poor man, who had been diseased thirty-eight years, and ordered him to carry home the couch on which he lay! How implacable must their malice have been! The spirit of religious persecution has always been the most fell and dangerous of all on this side perdition. Every other disposition appears to have its moderator; but this is wholly abandoned to the guidance of Satan, and has for its objects the men who know the truth, and who live to the glory of their God, and for the benefit of mankind. How strange that such should ever be objects of malice and hatred! But the Satanic nature in fallen man is ever opposed to whatever comes from God. Treasury of Scripture Knowledge persecute. John 15:20 Remember the word that I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me... Acts 9:4,5 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecute you me... and sought. John 5:13 And he that was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place. John 7:19,20,25 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why go you about to kill me... John 10:39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, Matthew 12:13 Then said he to the man, Stretch forth your hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other. Mark 3:6 And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. Luke 6:11 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus. John 5:16 Parallel Commentaries

John 1:19 Now this was John's testimony when the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was.
John 5:10 and so the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat."
John 5:15 The man went away and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.
John 5:17 In his defense Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working."
John 5:18 For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
John 7:21 Jesus said to them, "I did one miracle, and you are all amazed.
