The Pulpit Commentary - John 10:22-26

(1) The Feast of Dedication , and the excitement of the people . The paragraph is pregnant with meaning, arising from the place, the time, and the action of the Jews. It contains the discrimination between the Jews and those who were in spiritual union with himself, viz. his sheep. Then follow the characteristics and privileges of his sheep, which lead up to the climax in which he risks the deadly animosity of his hearers, by claiming identity of saving power with the Father. tic... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 10:23

And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. He walked in Solomon ' s portico— that part of the temple of Herod which the apostles afterwards adopted as the scene of some of their most explicit assertions of the gospel ( Acts 3:11 ; Acts 5:12 ). It was associated with the grandest events in their national history; for it was reared on the substructions of Solomon's temple, which even to the present day are intact. The Lord walked there because it was winter, and wintry... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 10:22

The feast of the dedication - Literally, the feast of the renewing, or of the renovation. This feast was instituted by Judas Maccabaeus, in the year 164 b.c. The temple and city were taken by Antiochus Epiphanes in the year 167 b.c. He killed 40,000 inhabitants, and sold 40,000 more as slaves. In addition to this, he sacrificed a sow on the altar of burnt-offerings, and a broth being made of this, he sprinkled it all over the temple. The city and temple were recovered three years afterward by... read more

And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication Or, as εγενετο δε τα εγκαινια may be rendered, Now the feast of dedication came on at Jerusalem: for it does not appear that the preceding discourses, from John 7:14, were delivered at this feast, but at the feast of tabernacles.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 10:22-42

94. At the Feast of Dedication (John 10:22-42)The Feast of Dedication commemorated the rededication of the temple in 165 BC after the defeat of Antiochus Epiphanes (see ‘The New Testament World’). It was held about two months after the Feast of Tabernacles (cf. John 7:2) and was the Jews’ only winter festival (cf. John 10:22).Many Jews felt it was time Jesus made a clear public statement that he was the Messiah. Jesus replied that his works were a clear enough statement, but most of the Jews... read more
