John 7:14 Meaning and Commentary

John 7:14

Now about the midst of the feast
About the fourth day of it, for it lasted eight days; this might be on the sabbath day, which sometimes was (gxh Kwtb) , "in the middle of the feast" ^F14; and the rather, since it follows,

Jesus went up into the temple;
as the Lord and proprietor of it, and as was his usual method; he had for some reasons kept himself retired till now, and now he appeared publicly:

and taught
the people his doctrine; he expounded the Scriptures, gave the true sense of them, and instructed the people out of them.

John 7:14 In-Context

12 et murmur multus de eo erat in turba; quidam enim dicebant quia bonus est alii autem dicebant non sed seducit turbas

13 nemo tamen palam loquebatur de illo propter metum Iudaeorum

14 iam autem die festo mediante ascendit Iesus in templum et docebat

15 et mirabantur Iudaei dicentes quomodo hic litteras scit cum non didicerit

16 respondit eis Iesus et dixit mea doctrina non est mea sed eius qui misit me
