John 5. Jesus asserts his authority as Messiah, and Mediator between God and man

John 5 has a miracle and a sermon. The miracle was the cure of an impotent man that had been diseased thirty-eight years, with the circumstances of that cure, ver. 1-16. The sermon was Christ's vindication of himself before the Sanhedrin, when he was prosecuted as a criminal for healing the man on the sabbath day, in which, He asserts his authority as Messiah, and Mediator between God and man, ver. 17-29.
