12 And G2532 there was G2258 much G4183 murmuring G1112 among G1722 the people G3793 concerning G4012 him: G846 for some G3303 said, G3004 G3754 He is G2076 a good man: G18 others G1161 G243 said, G3004 Nay; G3756 but G235 he deceiveth G4105 the people. G3793
Therefore G3767 said G3004 some G5100 of G1537 the Pharisees, G5330 This G3778 man G444 is G2076 not G3756 of G3844 God, G2316 because G3754 he keepeth G5083 not G3756 the sabbath day. G4521 Others G243 said, G3004 How G4459 can G1410 a man G444 that is a sinner G268 do G4160 such G5108 miracles? G4592 And G2532 there was G2258 a division G4978 among G1722 them. G846
Many G4183 of G1537 the people G3793 therefore, G3767 when they heard G191 this saying, G3056 said, G3004 Of a truth G230 this G3778 is G2076 the Prophet. G4396 Others G243 said, G3004 This G3778 is G2076 the Christ. G5547 But G1161 some G243 said, G3004 G1063 Shall G3361 Christ G5547 come G2064 out of G1537 Galilee? G1056 Hath not G3780 the scripture G1124 said, G2036 That G3754 Christ G5547 cometh G2064 of G1537 the seed G4690 of David, G1138 and G2532 out of G575 the town G2968 of Bethlehem, G965 where G3699 David G1138 was? G2258 So G3767 there was G1096 a division G4978 among G1722 the people G3793 because G1223 of him. G846
The Pharisees G5330 heard G191 that the people G3793 murmured G1111 such things G5023 concerning G4012 him; G846 and G2532 the Pharisees G5330 and G2532 the chief priests G749 sent G649 officers G5257 to G2443 take G4084 him. G846
Then G3767 said G3004 some G5100 of G1537 them of Jerusalem, G2415 Is G2076 not G3756 this G3778 he, whom G3739 they seek G2212 to kill? G615 But, G2532 lo, G2396 he speaketh G2980 boldly, G3954 and G2532 they say G3004 nothing G3762 unto him. G846 Do G1097 the rulers G758 know G1097 indeed G3379 G230 that G3754 this G3778 is G2076 the very G230 Christ? G5547 Howbeit G235 we know G1492 this man G5126 whence G4159 he is: G2076 but G1161 when G3752 Christ G5547 cometh, G2064 no man G3762 knoweth G1097 whence G4159 he is. G2076
For G1063 scarcely G3433 for G5228 a righteous man G1342 will G599 one G5100 die: G599 yet G1063 peradventure G5029 for G5228 a good man G18 some G5100 would G5111 even G2532 dare G5111 to die. G599
For G3754 he was G2258 a good G18 man, G435 and G2532 full G4134 of the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 and G2532 of faith: G4102 and G2532 much G2425 people G3793 was added G4369 unto the Lord. G2962
There was G1096 a division G4978 therefore G3767 again G3825 among G1722 the Jews G2453 for G1223 these G5128 sayings. G3056 And G1161 many G4183 of G1537 them G846 said, G3004 He hath G2192 a devil, G1140 and G2532 is mad; G3105 why G5101 hear ye G191 him? G846 Others G243 said, G3004 These G5023 are G2076 not G3756 the words G4487 of him that hath a devil. G1139 Can G3361 G1410 a devil G1140 open G455 the eyes G3788 of the blind? G5185
They answered G611 and G2532 said G2036 unto him, G846 Art G3361 G1488 thou G4771 also G2532 of G1537 Galilee? G1056 Search, G2045 and G2532 look: G2396 for G3754 out of G1537 Galilee G1056 ariseth G1453 no G3756 prophet. G4396
It is enough G713 for the disciple G3101 that G2443 he be G1096 as G5613 his G846 master, G1320 and G2532 the servant G1401 as G5613 his G846 lord. G2962 If G1487 they have called G2564 the master of the house G3617 Beelzebub, G954 how much G4214 more G3123 shall they call them of his G846 household? G3615
And, G2532 behold, G2400 there was a man G435 named G3686 Joseph, G2501 a counsellor; G1010 and he was a good G5225 G18 man, G435 and G2532 a just: G1342
And G1161 there came G2983 a fear G5401 on all: G537 and G2532 they glorified G1392 God, G2316 saying, G3004 That G3754 a great G3173 prophet G4396 is risen up G1453 among G1722 us; G2254 and, G2532 That G3754 God G2316 hath visited G1980 his G846 people. G2992
A good G18 man G444 out of G1537 the good G18 treasure G2344 of his G846 heart G2588 bringeth forth G4393 that which is good; G18 and G2532 an evil G4190 man G444 out of G1537 the evil G4190 treasure G2344 of his G846 heart G2588 bringeth forth G4393 that which is evil: G4190 for G1063 of G1537 the abundance G4051 of the heart G2588 his G846 mouth G4750 speaketh. G2980
But G2532 when they sought G2212 to lay hands G2902 on him, G846 they feared G5399 the multitude, G3793 because G1894 they took G2192 him G846 for G5613 a prophet. G4396
When G1161 Jesus G2424 came G2064 into G1519 the coasts G3313 of Caesarea G2542 Philippi, G5376 he asked G2065 his G846 disciples, G3101 saying, G3004 Whom G5101 do men G444 say G3004 that I G3165 the Son G5207 of man G444 am? G1511 And G1161 they said, G2036 Some say that thou art G3303 John G2491 the Baptist: G910 G1161 some, G243 Elias; G2243 and G1161 others, G2087 Jeremias, G2408 or G2228 one G1520 of the prophets. G4396 He saith G3004 unto them, G846 But G1161 whom G5101 say G3004 ye G5210 that I G3165 am? G1511 And G1161 Simon G4613 Peter G4074 answered G611 and said, G2036 Thou G4771 art G1488 the Christ, G5547 the Son G5207 of the living G2198 God. G2316

Commentary on John 7 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 7
In this chapter we have,
Jhn 7:1-13
We have here,
Jhn 7:14-36
Here is,
Here the people rudely interrupted him in his discourse, and contradicted what he said (v. 20): Thou has a devil; who goes about to kill thee? This intimates,
He concludes this argument with that rule (v. 24): Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. This may be applied, either,
Jhn 7:37-44
In these verses we have,
Jhn 7:45-53
The chief priests and Pharisees are here in a close cabal, contriving how to suppress Christ; though this was the great day of the feast, they attended not the religious services of the day, but left them to the vulgar, to whom it was common for those great ecclesiastics to consign and turn over the business of devotion, while they thought themselves better employed in the affairs of church-policy. They sat in the council-chamber, expecting Christ to be brought a prisoner to them, as they had issued out warrants for apprehending him, v. 32. Now here we are told,
