The Pulpit Commentary - John 7:2-10

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 7:9

Having said these things to them, he abode in Galilee. Such a respite cannot mean a few days only. Not until after this period, and possibly after the brethren]rod started on the pilgrimage, did "he steadfastly set his face to go up to Jerusalem." A great question arises as to the possibility of harmonizing this journey with the great intercalated portion of Luke's Gospel (Lu 9:51-18:31). This is not the place to consider the numerous and complicated problems involved. One thing is... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - John 7:11

The Jews therefore sought him at the feast. The ruling and hostile powers, the unbelieving hierarchy, Caiaphas and his party ( John 6:41 , John 6:52 ; John 6:13 , John 6:15 ), because of his non-appearance in the Galilaean caravan, went hither and thither, saying, Where is he? — ἐκεῖνος , "that notorious Person," whose claims maddened us some months agone, and whose deeds are being talked of throughout the city, whom the Galilaeans would have constrained to take up arms and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 7:11

"Where is he?" This question may indicate different thoughts and sentiments with regard to Jesus as asked by different persons. It may be looked upon— I. AS THE QUESTION OF GENERAL INTEREST . There is no doubt that Jesus was the most interesting person of that age. His mighty works and his wonderful teaching had excited the interest of the general public, and had stirred society to its utmost depth. How many persons there were concerning whom no question was asked! They... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - John 7:13

Howbeit no man —either those who murmured to each other a favourable or a calumnious judgment— spake out openly concerning him, by reason of ( their ) fear of the Jews. The hierarchy, the guardians of orthodoxy, the authorities, the rabbis by whose verdict the character and claims of Jesus must be decided, had not publicly delivered their opinion. Those who believed in the "goodness" of Jesus were silenced, or did not proceed beyond a feeble murmur of applause, however much some may... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 7:14

When it was already the midst of the feast; or, when already the festival had reached the middle stage. £ Since the feast lasted seven or eight days, this is reasonably supposed to be on the fourth day. We may presume that he had been spending a few days at Bethany ( Luke 10:38 ), front retirement of which he issued rather as a Prophet and Teacher than as the Messiah of the popular expectation. He went up —he came suddenly— into the temple, into the midst of the crowds where his... read more
