Juan 7:21

21 Jesús respondió, y les dijo: Una obra hice, y todos os maravilláis

Juan 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.

Juan 7:21 In-Context

19 ¿No os dio Moisés la ley, y ninguno de vosotros cumple la ley? ¿Por qué me procuráis matar

20 Respondió el pueblo, y dijo: Demonio tienes; ¿quién te procura matar

21 Jesús respondió, y les dijo: Una obra hice, y todos os maravilláis

22 Cierto, Moisés os dio la circuncisión (no porque sea de Moisés, sino de los padres); y en sábado circuncidáis al hombre

23 Si recibe un hombre la circuncisión en sábado, sin que la ley de Moisés sea quebrantada, ¿os enojáis conmigo porque en sábado hice sano del todo a un hombre
