The Pulpit Commentary - John 7:17

Christ's authority and the way to ascertain it. It was very natural for a Jerusalem audience to say with respect to Jesus, "Why should we listen to this Man?" 1 . It is very natural that any one making special claims should be regarded with special caution. Jesus knew quite well that he would not be readily received on his own valuation. Thanks are owing to those who opposed and criticized him in the days of his flesh. Their very way of talking to him, the true Teacher, showed how... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 7:17

If any man will do his will - Literally, if any man wills or is willing to do the will of God. If there is a disposition in anyone to do that will, though he should not be able perfectly to keep His commandments. To do the will of God is to obey His commandments; to yield our hearts and lives to His requirements. A disposition to do His will is a readiness to yield our intellects, our feelings, and all that we have entirely to Him, to be governed according to His pleasure.He shall know - He... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 7:14-18

John 7:14-18. Now about the midst of the feast Which lasted eight days; Jesus went up into the temple and taught Probably on the sabbath day. His business was to preach the gospel of the kingdom, and he readily did it in every time and place of concourse: and doubtless vast multitudes would be assembled in the temple on this occasion. And the Jews who heard him marvelled Were amazed, both at the excellence and importance of the doctrines which he delivered, and at the clear, convincing,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 7:14-44

86. Jesus teaches in the temple (John 7:14-44)The Feast of Tabernacles lasted a week. After the excitement of the first two or three days had died down, Jesus began to teach in the temple. People were impressed with his teaching, though he taught not to gain honour for himself but to bring glory to God who had sent him. If people loved God and wanted to do his will, they would see that what Jesus taught was the truth of God (John 7:14-18). The Jews accused Jesus of breaking the law, because on... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 7:17

If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself.As in John 3:19-21, Jesus here again made the ability to believe on himself to turn on a question of will, and not of intelligence alone; and these remarks are the equivalent of his saying, "Look, if you really want to do the will of God, you will recognize that it is God's will, and not mine own, that I am proclaiming," There could also be further implications of this verse,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 7:16-17

John 7:16-17. Jesus answered, &c.— "The doctrine which I teach you, is not the product of human wisdom; I have neither been taught it by masters, nor have I acquired it by study; but it is the doctrine of God." He told them likewise, that they could be at no loss to know whence he or any teacher derived his doctrine, provided they laid aside their prejudices, and were resolved to do the will of God, how contrary soever it might prove to their own inclinations: If any man be determined, or... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 7:17

17. If any man will do his will, c.—"is willing," or "wishes to do." whether . . . of God, or . . . of myself—from above or from beneath is divine or an imposture of Mine. A principle of immense importance, showing, on the one hand, that singleness of desire to please God is the grand inlet to light on all questions vitally affecting one's eternal interests, and on the other, that the want of his, whether perceived or not, is the chief cause of infidelity amidst the light of revealed religion. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 7:10-42

H. Jesus’ third visit to Jerusalem 7:10-10:42This section of the text describes Jesus’ teaching in Jerusalem during the feast of Tabernacles and the feast of Dedication. John evidently included it in His narrative because it contains important revelations of Jesus’ identity and explains the mounting opposition to Jesus that culminated in His crucifixion. read more
