{Took up his bed and walked} ((8872)e ton krabatton autou kai
periepatei). The same distinction in tenses in the same verbs
preserved, punctiliar action in (8872)e (first aorist active of
air(935c), took it up at once) and linear act (imperfect active of
peripate(935c), went on walking). {The sabbath on that day}
(sabbaton en ekein(8869) t(8869) h(886d)er(8369)). The first of the violations
of the Sabbath rules of the Jews by Jesus in Jerusalem that led
to so much bitterness (cf.  9:14,16 ). This controversy will
spread to Galilee on Christ's return there ( Mr 2:23-3:6  Mt
12:1-14  Lu 6:1-11 ).
