Giovanni 7:11

11 I Giudei dunque lo cercavano durante la festa, e dicevano: Dov’è egli?

Giovanni 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.

Giovanni 7:11 In-Context

9 E dette loro queste cose, rimase in Galilea.

10 Quando poi i suoi fratelli furono saliti alla festa, allora vi salì anche lui; non palesemente, ma come di nascosto.

11 I Giudei dunque lo cercavano durante la festa, e dicevano: Dov’è egli?

12 E v’era fra le turbe gran mormorio intorno a lui. Gli uni dicevano: E’ un uomo dabbene! Altri dicevano: No, anzi, travia la moltitudine!

13 Nessuno però parlava di lui apertamente, per paura de’ Giudei.
