John 7:23 - Forerunner Commentary

John 7:23

21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel.

22 ^aMoses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, ^bbut from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because ^aI made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

24 ^aDo not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”

Could This Be the Christ?

25 Now some of them from Jerusalem said, “Is this not He whom they seek to ^akill?

26 But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. ^aDo the rulers know indeed that this is¹ truly the Christ?
