約翰福音 7:12 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 7:1-13

We have here, I. The reason given why Christ spent more of his time in Galilee than in Judea (John 7:1): because the Jews, the people in Judea and Jerusalem, sought to kill him, for curing the impotent man on the sabbath day, John 5:16. They thought to be the death of him, either by a popular tumult or by a legal prosecution, in consideration of which he kept at a distance in another part of the country, very much out of the lines of Jerusalem's communication. It is not said, He durst not,... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 7:10-13

7:10-13 When his brothers had gone up to the festival, then he too went up, not openly, but, as it were, in secret. So the Jews searched for him at the festival, and kept saying: "Where is he?" And there was many a heated argument about him among the crowds. Some said: "He is a good man." But others said: "No; far from it; he is leading the people astray." But no one spoke about him openly because of their fear of the Jews. Jesus chose his own moment and went to Jerusalem. Here we have the... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 7:10-13

In this chapter there is a whole series of verdicts on Jesus. (i) There is the verdict that he was a good man ( John 7:12 ). That verdict is true, but it is not the whole truth. It was Napoleon who made the famous remark: "I know men, and Jesus Christ is more than a man." Jesus was indeed truly man; but in him was the mind of God. When he speaks it is not one man speaking to another; if that were so we might argue about his commands. When he speaks it is God speaking to men; and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 7:12

And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him ,.... There was a general whisper, and a private controversy and contention among the people about him, upon inquiry being made after him: for some said he is a good man ; a man of a good principle, of a good life and conversation; and who is good, kind, and beneficent, both to the bodies and souls of men; preaches good doctrine, and does many good things: others said: nay , or denied him to be a good man: but he... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 7:12

Some said, He is a good man - The multitude were divided in their opinions concerning him: those who knew him best said, He is a good man. Those who spoke according to the character given him by the priests, etc., said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people. Those who spoke evil of him spoke out, because they had the rulers on their side; but those who spoke good of him were obliged to do it in private, because they feared these rulers. Calumny and slander are among the privileged orders; they... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 7:12

Verse 12 12.And there was much murmuring. He means that, wherever men were collected in crowds, as usually happens in large assemblies, they held secret conversations about Christ. The diversity of opinion, which is here related, proves that it is not a new evil, that men should differ in their opinions about Christ, even in the very bosom of the Church. And as we do not hesitate to receive Christ, who was formerly condemned by the greater part of his own nation, so we ought to be armed with... read more

Inquiries and speculations concerning Christ. His entry was so private as to be almost unnoticed. I. THE ANXIETY OF THE HOSTILE JEWS TO DISCOVER HIM . "Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?" 1 . The question may have beer, asked partly through curiosity and Tartly from hostility, for it implies that a plot already existed for his destruction. 2 . Mark the contemptuous form of the question. "Where is he?" His name is not mentioned,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 7:12

And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. This vivid dramatic touch lifts a veil, and we see the eager excitement of those who fancied themselves duped, or who were at least disappointed by his non-appearance. Some said one thing, and some another. One group was loud in his praises, and another suspicious either of his orthodoxy or his patriotism, or both. Some said, He is a good man; i.e. one who was unselfish, kind, true, beneficent, and honest in his... read more
