Context of John 7:21

19Moses gave God's Law to you. But not one of you obeys that Law. Why are you trying to kill me?’ 20The crowd answered, ‘You have a demon in you! Nobody is trying to kill you!’ Jesus replied, ‘I did one miracle on the day of rest, and all of you were surprised. 22Moses gave you a law that you must circumcise your sons. Your ancestors taught that, even before Moses was born. So you will agree to circumcise a boy, even on the day of rest. 23You will do that so that you obey Moses' law. So you should not be angry with me because I made a man completely well on the day of rest.

Commentaries on John 7:21

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 21I have done one work - That of curing the impotent man, already referred to. See John 5:9. And ye all marvel - or, ye all marvel because of this. Some have , in connection with , which the common pointing makes the beginning of the next verse, and which, in our common version, is translated therefore; but this word conveys no meaning at all, in the connection in which it is thus placed. Proof of this construction Kypke gives from Themistius, Strabo, and…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 21One work - The healing of the man on the Sabbath, John 5. Ye all marvel - You all wonder or are amazed, and particularly that it was done on the Sabbath. This was the particular ground of astonishment, that he should dare to do what they esteemed a violation of the Sabbath.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 14-24Verses 14-24 Every faithful minister may humbly adopt Christ's words. His doctrine is not his own finding out, but is from God's word, through the teaching of his Spirit. And amidst the disputes which disturb the world, if any man, of any nation, seeks to do the will of God, he shall know whether the doctrine is of God, or whether men speak of themselves. Only those who hate the truth shall be given up to errors which will be fatal. Surely it was as…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-52This chapter describes Jesus at the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles. Jesus used parts of the feast to reveal his true identity to his fellow Jews and to show that he had fulfilled the feast's essential meaning (see 7:37–39; 8:12).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 21-2421-24. I have done one work, &c.--Taking no notice of the popular appeal, as there were those there who knew well enough what He meant, He recalls His cure of the impotent man, and the murderous rage it had kindled (Joh 5:9, 16, 18). It may seem strange that He should refer to an event a year and a half old, as if but newly done. But their present attempt "to kill Him" brought up the past scene vividly, not only to Him, but without doubt to them, too, if…Read the comment
