Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 7:27

We know this man whence he is; we know he is of Nazareth, and that Joseph is his reputed father. They also knew whence the Messias was to come, that he was to be of the family of David, of the tribe of Judah, of the town of Bethlehem: the chief priests and scribes answered Herod to that purpose, without the least hesitation, Matthew 2:5,Matthew 2:6, but they had no revelation to guide them to know of what particular family he should be: thus this verse is easily reconciled to John 7:42.

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 7:14. Now about the midst, etc.—The middle of the feast, or “the lesser feast.” It was the fourth day of the feast most likely. Taught.—For the first time (of which mention is made, but see John 2:13-25) openly in the temple.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 7:1-53

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to the seventh chapter of the gospel according to John.After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him ( John 7:1 ).At this point John begins the record of the last six months of Jesus' ministry. And so you'll notice how much time and attention John spends in the last six months of his ministry. Pointing out the fact that Jesus is no longer walking so openly in the area of Judea among the Jews. In... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - John 7:1-53

John 7:1 . He would not walk in Jewry, or Judea, because the jews sought to kill him. Herod had recently beheaded John, pleading the magnitude of his auditories; now, the jews magnified the same plea against the Saviour, and were eager to follow the royal example in destroying him. As they judged themselves unworthy of eternal life, he made ministerial tours through other parts of the land, where his word was hailed as the gospel of the heavenly kingdom. John 7:2 . The feast of... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - John 7:19-30

John 7:19-30Did not Moses give you the law? Murder in desireThe desire to kill Christ I. WAS INCONSISTENT WITH THEIR RELIGIOUS PROFESSION. They professedly believed in Moses, and esteemed him highly. But there was nothing in Moses to sanction their antagonism to Christ. 1. The spirit of their opposition was inconsistent with the moral law of Moses (John 7:19). You seek to kill Me, when your moral master in God’s name has said, “Thou shalt not kill.” None of you keepeth the law in this respect.... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - John 7:27

27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. Ver. 27. No man knoweth whence he is ] This error might arise out of some texts of Scripture misunderstood, as Isaiah 53:8 ; Psalms 110:4 . We should, whenever we open the Bible, pray, "Lord, open mine eyes, that I may see the wondrous things of thy law," Psalms 119:18 . read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - John 7:27

Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.When Christ cometh, none knoweth whence he is — This Jewish tradition was true, with regard to his Divine nature: in that respect none could declare his generation. But it was not true with regard to his human nature, for both his family and the place of his birth were plainly foretold. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 7:11-36

Jesus overmasters the commotions at the Feast of Tabernacles, John 7:11-53. His first Feast-of-Tabernacles discourse, John 7:11-36. In the following striking narrative of the fermentation on his account at Jerusalem, we must first note the different parties engaged. There are, first, the Jews, (John 7:11,) or hostile Judaists, who embrace the special partisans of the rulers. Second, there are the people, (John 7:12,) who consist of the miscellaneous crowd who have come to the feast;... read more
