Giovanni 7:13

Listen to Giovanni 7:13
13 Nessuno però parlava di lui apertamente, per paura de’ Giudei.

Giovanni 7:13 Meaning and Commentary

John 7:13

Howbeit, no man spoke openly of him
So loud as to be overheard, at least by many, but in a secret and whispering way; or did not speak with freedom, or all their mind, what they really thought of him, nor with courage and boldness:

for fear the Jews;
for fear of being mobbed by them, or up and prosecuted, or turned out of the synagogue; for a law was made, that whoever confessed him, should be so used; and this deterred persons from expressing the true sentiments of their minds about him.

Giovanni 7:13 In-Context

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.
14 Or quando s’era già a metà della festa, Gesù salì al tempio e si mise a insegnare.
15 Onde i Giudei si maravigliavano e dicevano: Come mai s’intende costui di lettere, senz’aver fatto studi?
