John 7:10 NIV

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 7:10

But when his brethren were gone up ,.... To the feast, as all the Oriental versions read, from the next clause: then went he also up unto the feast ; the Ethiopic version reads, "he went up that day"; which is very likely, and no ways contrary to what is said, in John 7:14 ; for though he did not go up to the temple to teach, till the middle of the feast, he might be up at the feast sooner: and according to the law, it was necessary that he should be there on the first and second days,... read more

The appeal to Jesus on the part of his unbelieving brothers. I. THE OCCASION OF THIS APPEAL . "But the Jews' Feast of Tabernacles was at hand." 1 . It was the last and greatest of the three yearly feasts, and occurred in our month of October. 2 . It was intended at once to commemorate the forty years' wandering in the wilderness, and also to celebrate the ingathering of the yearly harvest. 3 . The pilgrims, as well as the inhabitants of Jerusalem, left their... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 7:10

But when his brethren were gone up to the feast, £ then went he also up, not manifestly, but as it were in secret . The emendation of the text is important, for it draws attention to the fact that, while the brethren went up to the feast, he simply went up, towards Jerusalem—not, however, in the pilgrim caravan, but as a quiet wayfarer, blessing lepers, comforting souls, pouring forth on a favoured few his truth, till he reached the certain village at the very gates of Jerusalem.... read more

John 7:10. But when his brethren His carnal relations and their friends, in whose company he did not choose to travel; were gone up, then went he also to the feast In obedience to the divine command, and because it would give him an opportunity of honouring God, and doing good; but not openly Not publicly, with a train of attendants, as he had often done: but as it were in secret With as much privacy as possible; and that probably rather for fear of giving offence than of receiving... read more
