John 5:13

Italian 2020 (La Sacra Bibbia Versione Riveduta 2020 (R2))

Ma colui che era stato guarito non sapeva chi fosse, infatti Gesù si era allontanato, essendovi molta gente in quel luogo.

Cosa significa?

This verse describes a man who was healed by Jesus but did not know who Jesus was because He had disappeared into the crowd after healing him. It tells us about Jesus' humility and how He often avoided public attention.

Spiegato ai bambini

Imagine you're playing hide-and-seek, and your friend helps you win but then quickly hides so no one knows it was them. That's like what happened here: Jesus helped someone without wanting any credit or thanks for it.

Contesto storico

The Gospel of John was written by the Apostle John, a disciple of Jesus, around 90-100 AD. This passage is part of his account of Jesus' miracles and teachings in Jerusalem, where he describes encounters with crowds and authorities.

Applicazione per oggi

Today, this teaches us to help others without needing recognition or thanks. For example, if you help a neighbor fix their bike but they don't see who helped them, remember that the act itself is what matters most, not being recognized for it.
