21 Replicou-lhes Jesus: Uma só obra fiz, e todos vós admirais por causa disto.

João 7:21 Meaning and Commentary

John 7:21

Jesus answered and said unto them
Taking no notice of their passion, reproach, and blasphemy; but proceeding upon the thing he had in view, and which he was determined to reassume, and vindicate himself in;

I have done one work;
that is, on the sabbath day; meaning, his cure of the man that had had a disorder eight and thirty years, who lay at Bethesda's pool; which single action, they charged with being a breach of the sabbath, he mentions with a view to their many, and daily violations of it:

and ye all marvel;
at it, as a thing unheard of, as a most shocking piece of iniquity, as an intolerable evil; wondering that any man should have the front, to bid another take up his bed and walk, on the sabbath day: they did not marvel at the miracle that was wrought; but were amazed, offended, and disturbed, at its being done on the sabbath day.

João 7:21 In-Context

19 Não vos deu Moisés a lei? no entanto nenhum de vós cumpre a lei. Por que procurais matar-me?

20 Respondeu a multidão: Tens demônio; quem procura matar-te?

21 Replicou-lhes Jesus: Uma só obra fiz, e todos vós admirais por causa disto.

22 Moisés vos ordenou a circuncisão (não que fosse de Moisés, mas dos pais), e no sábado circuncidais um homem.

23 Ora, se um homem recebe a circuncisão no sábado, para que a lei de Moisés não seja violada, como vos indignais contra mim, porque no sábado tornei um homem inteiramente são?
