約翰福音 7:44 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 7:37-44

In these verses we have, I. Christ's discourse, with the explication of it, John 7:37-39. It is probable that these are only short hints of what he enlarged upon, but they have in them the substance of the whole gospel; here is a gospel invitation to come to Christ, and a gospel promise of comfort and happiness in him. Now observe, 1. When he gave this invitation: On the last day of the feast of tabernacles, that great day. The eighth day, which concluded that solemnity, was to be a holy... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 7:37-44

7:37-44 On the last, the great day of the festival, Jesus stood and cried: "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. As the scripture says: 'He who believes in me--rivers of living water shall flow from his belly.'" It was about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, that he said this. For as yet there was no Spirit because Jesus was not yet glorified. When they heard these words some of the crowd said: "This is really the promised Prophet." Others said: "This is... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 7:37-44

Now that we have seen the vivid background of this passage we must look at it in more detail. The promise of Jesus presents us with something of a problem. He said: "He who believes in me--rivers of water shall flow from his belly." And he introduces that statement by saying, "as scripture says." No one has ever been able to identify that quotation satisfactorily, and the question is, just what does it mean? There are two distinct possibilities. (i) It may refer to the man who comes to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 7:44

And some of them would have taken him ,.... Some of the latter sort, who did not believe he was the Messiah; who were the most averse to him, and hot and furious against him; these were for seizing him at once in a violent manner, and for carrying him before the sanhedrim, as an impostor and blasphemer to be examined and tried, and judged by them, to whom it belonged to judge and determine concerning such persons: but no man laid hands on him ; though they had a good will to it, no man... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 7:44

Would have taken him - Or, they wished to seize him. And this they would have done, and destroyed him too at that time, had they been unanimous; but their being divided in opinion, John 7:43 , was the cause, under God, why his life was at that time preserved. How true are the words of the prophet: The wrath of man shall praise thee; and the remainder thereof thou wilt restrain! Psalm 76:10 . read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 7:44

Verse 44 44.Some of them wished to seize him. By these words the Evangelist means, that they not only despised Christ, but that their wicked rejection of him was accompanied by cruelty and eagerness to do him injury; for superstition is always cruel. That their efforts were unavailing, we ought to ascribe to the providence of God; for since Christ’s hour was not yet come, as has been formerly said, guarded by the protection of his Father, on which he relied, he surmounted all dangers. read more

Effect of this address upon the multitude. It made a great impression. I. IT DEVELOPED DIFFERENCES OF OPINION . "Many then of the multitude, who had heard this discourse, said, Truly this is the Prophet. Others said, This is the Christ." 1 . A section of the multitude was favorable to Christ's Messianic claims— 2 . A section—perhaps the larger part—held that he could not be the Messiah, because he was born in Galilee. "Doth the Christ, then, come out of... read more

An important division. We have here: 1 . A great feast. That of Tabernacles . 2 . A great day. The last day of the feast. 3 . A great preacher. The Christ, the Son of God. 4 . A great sermon. "He cried;" and he had something worth crying—the living water for a thirsty world. 5 . A great division. "And there was a division among the people," etc. Notice— I. SOME OF THE FEATURES OF THIS DIVISION . 1 . Jesus was the Subject of this... read more
