**market a pool**
Or, gate, [Nehemiah 3:1](../../../kjv/nehemiah/3/1); [Nehemiah 12:39](../../../kjv/nehemiah/12/39)

**waiting for**
The Sinai MS. omits "waiting for the moving of the water." and all of [John 5:4](../../../kjv/john/5/4).

**For** See margin ref. *(See Scofield "**")*
**angel** See note, *(See Scofield "**")*

**sin**
Sin. *(See Scofield "**")* .

**his Father**
(Greek - βιβλαρίδιον ," his own Father). The Jews understood perfectly that Jesus was claiming to be God. Cf. [John 10:33](../../../kjv/john/10/33).

**witness**
Cf. [John 8:14](../../../kjv/john/8/14). In [John 5:31](../../../kjv/john/5/31) our Lord, defending His Messianic claims before Jews who denied those claims, accepts the biblical rule of evidence, which required "two witnesses" ; [John 8:17](../../../kjv/john/8/17); [Numbers 35:30](../../../kjv/numbers/35/30); [Deuteronomy 17:6](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/17/6). A paraphrase of verse [John 5:31](../../../kjv/john/5/31) would be: "If I bear witness of myself ye will say my witness is not true." Cf. [John 8:14](../../../kjv/john/8/14).

**saved**
*(See Scofield "**")* .

**seen** Cf.
*(See Scofield "**")* .
