The Pulpit Commentary - John 7:45-52

The meeting of the Sanhedrin. The position of the official guides of the people was becoming every hour more gravely compromised by the movement in favour of Jesus. I. THE EXTRAORDINARY REPORT OF THE OFFICERS TO THE SANHEDRIN . "Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? The officers answered, Never man spake like this Man." 1 . This report was delivered on the holy sabbath. The exigency of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 7:48

Hath any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees? They soon find they have reckoned on the emphatic negative of the query ( μή τις ;) too soon. There is, however, a touch of weakness in the question. They seem to say, if one of the rulers, one of the Pharisees, had taken a different course, there might be some colour for the pusillanimity of the officers. The question which they put, thus expecting a negative answer, might be answered differently. There were Pharisees... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 7:48

Class prejudice and Christianity. The learned and the rich sometimes hate and despise a form of religion because it is favoured by the poor and the ignorant; and these in turn dislike and reject a different form of religion because it is adopted by their social superiors. Something similar to this antipathy seems to have been manifested among the Jews in the time of our Lord; only it was not a form of religion that was in question, it was religion itself, or rather that Being who is in his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 7:49

But this multitude, which knoweth not the Law, are accursed. £ This is a most contemptuous expression— am-ha-'arez, equivalent to "this scum of the earth," "the unlettered rabble." The Pharisees were accustomed to show sovereign contempt for those who had no admission to their own culture and methods of knowledge. Edersheim and Wunsche quote 'Pes.,' 49, b ; 'Baba,' B. 8, b ; and 'Chetub.,' 3.6 in proof of the utter inhumanity of their judgments. This language did not endorse a... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 7:48

The rulers - The members of the Sanhedrin, who were supposed to have control over the religious rites and doctrines of the nation.The Pharisees - The sect possessing wealth, and office, and power. The name Pharisees sometimes denotes those who were high in honor and authority.Believed on him - Is there any instance in which those who are high in rank or in office have embraced him as the Messiah? This shows the rule by which they judged of religion:They claimed the right of regulating the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 7:49

This people - The word here translated “people” is the one commonly rendered “the multitude.” It is a word expressive of contempt, or, as we would say, the rabble. It denotes the scorn which they felt that the people should presume to judge for themselves in a case pertaining to their own salvation.Who knoweth not the law - Who have not been instructed in the schools of the Pharisees, and been taught to interpret the Old Testament as they had. They supposed that any who believed on the humble... read more

Namely, without accomplishing the purpose for which they were sent; and they The chief priests and other members of the sanhedrim, perceiving the officers had not executed their commission; said, Why have ye not brought him According to the orders you received from us?

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 7:45-53

87. Argument in the Sanhedrin (John 7:45-53)The leaders of the Sanhedrin were furious when the temple guards returned without Jesus. The guards said that they could not arrest one who gave such powerful teaching. Angrily the rulers replied that perhaps some of the uneducated masses believed in Jesus, but certainly none of the teachers, leaders, or other well instructed Jews (John 7:45-49).When Nicodemus, who was a member of the Sanhedrin (cf. John 3:1), suggested that they should at least give... read more
