Jean 7:11 Meaning and Commentary

John 7:11

Then the Jews sought him at the feast
Some to take him and kill him, and others to hear his doctrine, and see his miracles: for all expected him at the feast, knowing it was always his custom, as it was his duty, as an Israelite, to attend at it:

and said, where is he?
not naming his name; either through contempt, which might be the case of the far greater part; or through fear of the Jews; or because that he was so well known.

Jean 7:11 In-Context

9 Et leur ayant dit cela, il demeura en Galilée.
10 Mais, lorsque ses frères furent partis, il monta aussi à la fête, non pas publiquement, mais comme en cachette.
11 Les Juifs donc le cherchaient pendant la fête, et disaient: Où est-il?
12 Et il y avait une grande rumeur à son sujet parmi le peuple. Les uns disaient: C'est un homme de bien; et les autres disaient: Non, mais il séduit le peuple.
13 Toutefois, personne ne parlait librement de lui, par crainte des Juifs.
