Juan 7:25 Meaning and Commentary

John 7:25

Then said some of them of Jerusalem
Who were inhabitants of Jerusalem, and so are distinguished from the people, ( John 7:20 ) , who came up out of the country to the feast; so Jose ben Jochanan is called (Mylvwry vya) , "a man of Jerusalem" ^F3; that is, an inhabitant of it: now these men living in the city, knew more of the temper and disposition, the designs and attempts, of the chief priests, Scribes, and elders, to take away the life of Christ; and therefore say,

is not this he whom they seek to kill?
they knew that they had formed a design to kill him, ever since the passover before the last; when he wrought the miracle referred to in the text, and that they had been ever since plotting against his life, and were now at this feast seeking an opportunity to lay hold on him and kill him.

Juan 7:25 In-Context

23 Y si para no violar la ley de Moisés un hombre recibe la circuncisión en el día de reposo, ¿por qué estáis enojados conmigo porque sané por completo a un hombre en el día de reposo?

24 No juzguéis por la apariencia, sino juzgad con juicio justo.

25 Entonces algunos de Jerusalén decían: ¿No es éste al que procuran matar?

26 Y ved, habla en público y no le dicen nada. ¿No será que en verdad los gobernantes reconocen que este es el Cristo?

27 Sin embargo, nosotros sabemos de dónde es éste; pero cuando venga el Cristo, nadie sabrá de dónde es.
