Juan 7:20 Meaning and Commentary

John 7:20

The people answered and said
These seem to be the country people, who came from Galilee and other parts, who knew nothing of the designs of the Jerusalem Jews upon him; nor were they his downright enemies at least, but rather seemed to favour him, and were on his side, though greatly provoked to hear him talk after this manner:

thou hast a devil;
or art possessed with one; thou talkest like one of the demoniacs, like a madman, one beside thyself; whom the devil has so much power over, and has so deprived of thy senses, that thou knowest not what thou sayest:

who goeth about to kill thee?
no man; for they could not believe that any man, or body of men, would be so wicked, as to attempt to take away the life of so harmless a person, and who did so much good both to the bodies and souls of men.

Juan 7:20 In-Context

18 Los que hablan por su propia cuenta buscan su propia gloria, pero el que busca honrar a quien lo envió, habla con la verdad, no con mentiras.

19 Moisés les dio la ley, ¡pero ninguno de ustedes la cumple! De hecho, tratan de matarme.

20 —¡Estás endemoniado! —respondió la multitud—. ¿Quién trata de matarte?

21 Jesús contestó:

22 pero ustedes también trabajan en el día de descanso al obedecer la ley de la circuncisión dada por Moisés. (En realidad, la costumbre de la circuncisión comenzó con los patriarcas, mucho antes de la ley de Moisés).
