our of us . Greek. hemon. Both the word and its position are emphatic. They claimed for themselves what belonged to God. Compare Matthew 23:38 ,

your house . So the feasts of the Lord (Leviticus 23:2 ), are called in this gospel, feasts of the Jews (John 11:55 ; John 5:1 ; John 6:4 ; John 7:2 ).

place Greek. topos). No doubt the temple was meant, the centre and source of all their influence and power. The word is often so used. See John 4:20 . Acts 6:13 , Acts 6:14 ; Acts 21:28 , Acts 21:29 .

nation . Greek. ethnos. " Our" belongs to nation as well as to place. They claimed the nation which they ruled as their own (see Luke 20:14 ).
