Context of John 7:19
17If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is of God, or I am speaking from Myself. 18The one who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. “Did Moses not give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why are you seeking to kill Me?” 20The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill You?” 21Jesus answered them, “I did one deed, and you all are astonished.

Commentaries on John 7:19
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 19Did not Moses give you the law, etc. - The scribes and Pharisees announced our Lord to the multitude as a deceiver; and they grounded their calumny on this, that he was not an exact observer of the law, for he had healed a man on the Sabbath day, John 5:9, John 5:10; and consequently must be a false prophet. Now they insinuated, that the interests of religion required him to be put to death: As a violator of the law; and, as a false prophet and deceiver…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 19Did not Moses give you the law? - This they admitted, and on this they prided themselves. Every violation of that law they considered as deserving of death. They had accused Jesus of violating it because he had healed a man on the Sabbath, and for that they had sought his life, John 5:10-16.

His doctrine is not his own finding out, but is from God's word, through the teaching of his Spirit.

Only those who hate the truth shall be given up to errors which will be fatal. Surely it was as…Read the comment

However, Jesus pointed out a serious problem. While they honored the law in words, they were planning to kill him. In doing so, they were breaking the law (Exodus 20:13).Read the comment
