“If anyone carries anything from a public place to a private house on the Sabbath intentionally, he is punishable by death by stoning. “ Barclay on the Mishnah in the commentary on John 5
So when the pool guy says “They guy that healed me told me to” he’s not just making excuses–he’s defending himself from a STONING! I thought it was bad to carry the bed, but not DEADLY ILLEGAL! Bonhoeffer said that “When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die.” and some people sooner than others :)
