| every man went unto his own home--finding their plot could not at that time be carried into effect. Is your rage thus impotent, ye chief priests? |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| And every man went unto his own house - There is every mark of confusion and disorder in this breaking up of the Sanhedrin. It is possible that some of the Sadducees might have joined Nicodemus in opposing the Pharisees, and thus increased the disorder. It is a most instructive and melancholy exhibition of the influence of pride, envy, contempt, and anger, when brought to bear on an inquiry, and when they are manifestly opposed to candor, to argument, and to truth. So wild and furious are the passions of men when they oppose the person and claims of the Son of God! It is remarkable, too, how God accomplishes his purposes. They wished to destroy Jesus. God suffered their passions to be excited, a tumult to ensue, the assembly thus to break up in disorder, and Jesus to be safe, for his time had not yet come. "The wrath of man shall praise thee; the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain," Psa 76:10. |
| The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917] |
and every man
(Joh 7:53-8); (Joh 7:11); is not found in some of the most ancient manuscripts. Augustine declares that it was stricken from many copies of the sacred story because of a prudish fear that it might teach immorality! But the immediate context (Joh 7:12-46) beginning with Christ's declaration, "I am the light of the world." seems clearly to have its occasion in the conviction wrought in the hearts of the Pharisees, as recorded in; (Joh 7:9); as also, it explains the peculiar virulence of the Pharisee's words (Joh 7:41). |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
| This verse, and the portion of Chapter 8, as far as Joh 8:12, are generally pronounced by the best critical authorities not to belong to John's Gospel. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| And every man went to his own house - So that short plain question of Nicodemus spoiled all their measures, and broke up the council! A word spoken in season, how good it is! Especially when God gives it his blessing. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
And every man went, etc. - The authority and influence of Nicodemus, in this case, was so great that the Sanhedrin broke up without being able to conclude any thing. As the feast was now ended, they were not obliged to continue any longer in or about Jerusalem; and therefore all returned to their respective dwellings.
This verse and the first eleven verses of the following chapter are wanting in several MSS. Some of those which retain the paragraph mark it with obelisks, as a proof of spuriousness. Those which do retain it have it with such a variety of reading as is no where else found in the sacred writings. Professor Griesbach leaves the whole paragraph in the text with notes of doubtfulness. Most of the modern critics consider it as resting on no solid authority. |
10 Surely the wrath [02534] of man [0120] shall praise [03034] thee: the remainder [07611] of wrath [02534] shalt thou restrain [02296].
41 Others [243] said [3004], This [3778] is [2076] the Christ [5547]. But [1161] some [243] said [3004], [1063] Shall [3361] Christ [5547] come [2064] out of [1537] Galilee [1056]?
9 When [1161] he had said [2036] these words [5023] unto them [846], he abode [3306] still in [1722] Galilee [1056].
12 And [2532] there was [2258] much [4183] murmuring [1112] among [1722] the people [3793] concerning [4012] him [846]: for some [3303] said [3004], [3754] He is [2076] a good man [18]: others [1161] [243] said [3004], Nay [3756]; but [235] he deceiveth [4105] the people [3793].
13 Howbeit [3305] no man [3762] spake [2980] openly [3954] of [4012] him [846] for [1223] fear [5401] of the Jews [2453].
14 Now [2235] about [1161] the midst of [3322] the feast [1859] Jesus [2424] went up [305] into [1519] the temple [2411], and [2532] taught [1321].
15 And [2532] the Jews [2453] marvelled [2296], saying [3004], How [4459] knoweth [1492] this man [3778] letters [1121], having [3129] never [3361] learned [3129]?
16 Jesus [2424] answered [611] them [846], and [2532] said [2036], My [1699] doctrine [1322] is [2076] not [3756] mine [1699], but [235] his that sent [3992] me [3165].
17 If [1437] any man [5100] will [2309] do [4160] his [846] will [2307], he shall know [1097] of [4012] the doctrine [1322], whether [4220] it be [2076] of [1537] God [2316], or [2228] whether I [1473] speak [2980] of [575] myself [1683].
18 He that speaketh [2980] of [575] himself [1438] seeketh [2212] his own [2398] glory [1391]: but [1161] he that seeketh [2212] his glory [1391] that sent [3992] him [846], the same [3778] is [2076] true [227], and [2532] no [3756] unrighteousness [93] is [2076] in [1722] him [846].
19 Did [1325] not [3756] Moses [3475] give [1325] you [5213] the law [3551], and [2532] yet none [3762] of [1537] you [5216] keepeth [4160] the law [3551]? Why [5101] go ye about [2212] to kill [615] me [3165]?
20 The people [3793] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036], Thou hast [2192] a devil [1140]: who [5101] goeth about [2212] to kill [615] thee [4571]?
21 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], I have done [4160] one [1520] work [2041], and [2532] ye [2296] all [3956] marvel [2296].
22 Moses [3475] therefore [1223] [5124] gave [1325] unto you [5213] circumcision [4061]; (not [3756] because [3754] it is [2076] of [1537] Moses [3475], but [235] of [1537] the fathers [3962];) and [2532] ye [4059] on [1722] the sabbath day [4521] circumcise [4059] a man [444].
23 If [1487] a man [444] on [1722] the sabbath day [4521] receive [2983] circumcision [4061], that [3363] the law [3551] of Moses [3475] should [3089] not [3363] be broken [3089]; are ye angry [5520] at me [1698], because [3754] I have made [4160] a man [444] every whit [3650] whole [5199] on [1722] the sabbath day [4521]?
24 Judge [2919] not [3361] according to [2596] the appearance [3799], but [235] judge [2919] righteous [1342] judgment [2920].
25 Then [3767] said [3004] some [5100] of [1537] them of Jerusalem [2415], Is [2076] not [3756] this [3778] he, whom [3739] they seek [2212] to kill [615]?
26 But [2532], lo [2396], he speaketh [2980] boldly [3954], and [2532] they say [3004] nothing [3762] unto him [846]. Do [1097] the rulers [758] know [1097] indeed [3379] [230] that [3754] this [3778] is [2076] the very [230] Christ [5547]?
27 Howbeit [235] we know [1492] this man [5126] whence [4159] he is [2076]: but [1161] when [3752] Christ [5547] cometh [2064], no man [3762] knoweth [1097] whence [4159] he is [2076].
28 Then [3767] cried [2896] Jesus [2424] in [1722] the temple [2411] as he taught [1321], [2532] saying [3004], Ye both [2504] know me [1492], and [2532] ye know [1492] whence [4159] I am [1510]: and [2532] I am [2064] not [3756] come [2064] of [575] myself [1683], but [235] he that sent [3992] me [3165] is [2076] true [228], whom [3739] ye [5210] know [1492] not [3756].
29 But [1161] I [1473] know [1492] him [846]: for [3754] I am [1510] from [3844] him [846], and he [2548] hath sent [649] me [3165].
30 Then [3767] they sought [2212] to take [4084] him [846]: but [2532] no man [3762] laid [1911] hands [5495] on [1909] him [846], because [3754] his [846] hour [5610] was [2064] not yet [3768] come [2064].
31 And [1161] many [4183] of [1537] the people [3793] believed [4100] on [1519] him [846], and [2532] said [3004], [3754] When [3752] Christ [5547] cometh [2064], will he do [3385] [4160] more [4119] miracles [4592] than these [5130] which [3739] this [3778] man hath done [4160]?
32 The Pharisees [5330] heard [191] that the people [3793] murmured [1111] such things [5023] concerning [4012] him [846]; and [2532] the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] the chief priests [749] sent [649] officers [5257] to [2443] take [4084] him [846].
33 Then [3767] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto them [846], Yet [2089] a little [3398] while [5550] am I [1510] with [3326] you [5216], and [2532] then I go [5217] unto [4314] him that sent [3992] me [3165].
34 Ye shall seek [2212] me [3165], and [2532] shall [2147] not [3756] find [2147] me: and [2532] where [3699] I [1473] am [1510], thither ye [5210] cannot [3756] [1410] come [2064].
35 Then [3767] said [2036] the Jews [2453] among [4314] themselves [1438], Whither [4226] will [3195] he [3778] go [4198], that [3754] we [2249] shall [2147] not [3756] find [2147] him [846]? will [3361] [3195] he go [4198] unto [1519] the dispersed [1290] among the Gentiles [1672], and [2532] teach [1321] the Gentiles [1672]?
36 What [5101] manner of saying [3056] is [2076] this [3778] that [3739] he said [2036], Ye shall seek [2212] me [3165], and [2532] shall [2147] not [3756] find [2147] me: and [2532] where [3699] I [1473] am [1510], thither ye [5210] cannot [3756] [1410] come [2064]?
37 [1161] In [1722] the last [2078] day [2250], that great [3173] day of the feast [1859], Jesus [2424] stood [2476] and [2532] cried [2896], saying [3004], If [1437] any man [5100] thirst [1372], let him come [2064] unto [4314] me [3165], and [2532] drink [4095].
38 He that believeth [4100] on [1519] me [1691], as [2531] the scripture [1124] hath said [2036], out of [1537] his [846] belly [2836] shall flow [4482] rivers [4215] of living [2198] water [5204].
39 (But [1161] this [5124] spake he [2036] of [4012] the Spirit [4151], which [3739] they that believe [4100] on [1519] him [846] should [3195] receive [2983]: for [1063] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] was [2258] not yet [3768] given; because [3754] that Jesus [2424] was [1392] not yet [3764] glorified [1392]
40 Many [4183] of [1537] the people [3793] therefore [3767], when they heard [191] this saying [3056], said [3004], Of a truth [230] this [3778] is [2076] the Prophet [4396].
41 Others [243] said [3004], This [3778] is [2076] the Christ [5547]. But [1161] some [243] said [3004], [1063] Shall [3361] Christ [5547] come [2064] out of [1537] Galilee [1056]?
42 Hath not [3780] the scripture [1124] said [2036], That [3754] Christ [5547] cometh [2064] of [1537] the seed [4690] of David [1138], and [2532] out of [575] the town [2968] of Bethlehem [965], where [3699] David [1138] was [2258]?
43 So [3767] there was [1096] a division [4978] among [1722] the people [3793] because [1223] of him [846].
44 And [1161] some [5100] of [1537] them [846] would [2309] have taken [4084] him [846]; but [235] no man [3762] laid [1911] hands [5495] on [1909] him [846].
45 Then [3767] came [2064] the officers [5257] to [4314] the chief priests [749] and [2532] Pharisees [5330]; and [2532] they [1565] said [2036] unto them [846], Why [1302] have ye [71] not [3756] brought [71] him [846]?
46 The officers [5257] answered [611], Never [3763] man [444] spake [3779] [2980] like [5613] this [3778] man [444].
11 Then [3767] the Jews [2453] sought [2212] him [846] at [1722] the feast [1859], and [2532] said [3004], Where [4226] is [2076] he [1565]?
8 Go [305] ye [5210] up [305] unto [1519] this [5026] feast [1859]: I [1473] go [305] not [3768] up [305] yet [3768] unto [1519] this [5026] feast [1859]; for [3754] my [1699] time [2540] is [4137] not yet [3768] full come [4137].
53 And [2532] every man [1538] went [4198] unto [1519] his own [846] house [3624].
12 Then [3767] spake [2980] Jesus [2424] again [3825] unto them [846], saying [3004], I [1473] am [1510] the light [5457] of the world [2889]: he that followeth [190] me [1698] shall [4043] not [3364] walk [4043] in [1722] darkness [4653], but [235] shall have [2192] the light [5457] of life [2222].
