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 Moisés não deu a Lei a vocês? No entanto, nenhum de vocês lhe obedece. Por que vocês procuram matar-me?”

20 “Você está endemoninhado”, respondeu a multidão. “Quem está procurando matá-lo?”

21 Jesus lhes disse: “Fiz um milagre, e vocês todos estão admirados.

22 No entanto, porque Moisés deu a vocês a circuncisão (embora, na verdade, ela não tenha vindo de Moisés, mas dos patriarcas), vocês circuncidam no sábado.

23 Ora, se um menino pode ser circuncidado no sábado para que a Lei de Moisés não seja quebrada, por que vocês ficam cheios de ira contra mim por ter curado completamente um homem no sábado?
