A.T. Robertson Commentary John 5:11

"But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk." — John 5:11 (ASV)

But he answered (ος δε απεκριθη). Demonstrative ος (But this one) and deponent use of απεκριθη (first aorist passive indicative of αποκρινομα with no passive force).

The same (εκεινος). "That one," emphatic demonstrative as often in John (1:18,33; 9:37; 10:1, etc.). The man did not know who Jesus was nor even his name. He quotes the very words of Jesus.

Whole (υγιη). Predicate accusative agreeing with με (me).
