João 7:32

32 Os fariseus ouviram a multidão murmurar estas coisas a respeito dele; e os principais sacerdotes e os fariseus mandaram guardas para o prenderem.

João 7:32 Meaning and Commentary

John 7:32

The Pharisees heard that the people murmured
Or whispered, privately talked among themselves:

such things concerning him;
as that surely he must be the Messiah, since such wonderful things were done by him, and might also express some uneasiness and surprise, that the rulers did not receive him as such:

and the Pharisees, and the chief priests, sent officers to take him:
and bring him before the sanhedrim, by them to be condemned, and so a stop be put to the people's receiving him, and believing in him as the Messiah; fearing, that should things go on at this rate, their principles and practices would be rejected, and their persons and authority be brought into contempt.

João 7:32 In-Context

30 Procuravam, pois, prendê-lo; mas ninguém lhe deitou as mãos, porque ainda não era chegada a sua hora.
31 Contudo muitos da multidão creram nele, e diziam: Será que o Cristo, quando vier, fará mais sinais do que este tem feito?
32 Os fariseus ouviram a multidão murmurar estas coisas a respeito dele; e os principais sacerdotes e os fariseus mandaram guardas para o prenderem.
33 Disse, pois, Jesus: Ainda um pouco de tempo estou convosco, e depois vou para aquele que me enviou.
34 Vós me buscareis, e não me achareis; e onde eu estou, vós não podeis vir.
