<p>5:13 <i>But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while there was a crowd in that place</i>- The Lord could have course orchestrated this miracle in any way He chose. But He did it in this way, leaving Himself anonymous, so that the man would be earnestly asking himself every moment: &quot;Who is this man?&quot;. And that of course is the question which John's Gospel puts to his audience. For the man to truthfully answer the Jews' questions with &quot;I don't know, He slipped away in the crowd...&quot; would have likewise made the Jews ask themselves the same question, and reflect that Jesus of Nazareth was no standard miracle worker, but of an altogether higher order.</p>
