João 7:1-36 NVIPT

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 7:1

Opposition to Jesus had by now become so strong, particularly in Judea, that He chose to stay and minister around Galilee. This is a brief reference to Jesus’ later Galilean ministry that the Synoptics describe more fully. The Jewish leaders were continuing to lay plans for Jesus’ execution (cf. John 5:18). John noted their increasing hostility here and in the following chapters (cf. John 7:19; John 7:30; John 7:32; John 7:44; John 8:59; John 10:39; John 11:8; John 11:53). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 7:1-9

The response of the Jews 7:1-9"John 7 has three time divisions: before the feast (John 7:1-10), in the midst of the feast (John 7:11-36), and on the last day of the feast (John 7:37-52). The responses during each of those periods can be characterized by three words: disbelief, debate, and division." [Note: Ibid., p. 314.] This section relates the reaction of another significant group of people to Jesus. They were the Jews generally, including Jesus’ brothers. The section also prepares the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 7:2

The feast of Tabernacles occurred six months after Passover (John 6:4). That year it fell on September 10-17, A.D. 32. [Note: Hoehner, p. 143.] It was a fall grape and olive harvest festival (Exodus 23:16; Leviticus 23:33-36; Leviticus 23:39-43; Deuteronomy 16:13-15). In Jesus’ day it was the most popular of the three required Jewish feasts. [Note: Josephus, Antiquities of . . ., 8:4:1.] It commemorated the Israelites’ sojourn in the wilderness. Many devout Jews built temporary shelters out of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 7:3-5

Jesus’ half-brothers advised Him to go to the feast so His remaining disciples would continue to believe on Him and so more people would become His disciples. They evidently supposed that Jesus wanted as large a following as possible. They believed that He could perform miracles, but they did not believe that He was who He claimed to be. They encouraged Him to promote Himself, perhaps because they saw some advantage for themselves in His doing so. Satan had tempted Jesus similarly (Matthew... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 7:6

Jesus replied that it was not the right time (Gr. kairos) for Him to go to Jerusalem, the Father’s time (cf. John 2:4). However, they could go to the feast at any time (Gr. kairos). They were not on a mission and timetable from God as He was."John’s picture of Jesus is of one steadily moving on to meet his divinely appointed destiny." [Note: Morris, p. 352.] Another interpretation is that Jesus meant that the time of His death was not yet at hand. However the Greek word that Jesus used when... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 7:7

Jesus alluded to the opposition that awaited Him in Jerusalem. His brothers had no particular reason to be careful about when they went to the feast, but Jesus would be in danger when He went. They were part of the world, but Jesus did not belong to it (John 1:10; cf. John 15:18-21; John 17:14; John 17:16). Another reason for the Jews’ antagonism was Jesus’ convicting preaching that called for repentance and faith in Him. This verse contains the explanation for Jesus’ statement in the preceding... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 7:8-9

Having offered His explanation, Jesus encouraged his brothers to go on to the feast without Him. Again He intimated that the Father was setting His agenda and He needed to follow it rather then their suggestion (cf. John 2:4). God’s immediate will for Him was to stay in Galilee.The NIV "yet" has weak textual support, though it represents a valid interpretation. Many old Greek manuscripts do not contain it. Probably copyists added it to explain what Jesus meant since He did go to Jerusalem... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 7:10

Jesus proceeded to Jerusalem shortly after his half-brothers did because the Father led Him to go then. He did not herald His arrival with great publicity, as His brothers had recommended, but went without fanfare. If He had gone sooner, the authorities would have had more opportunities to arrest Him (John 7:1). read more

H. Jesus’ third visit to Jerusalem 7:10-10:42This section of the text describes Jesus’ teaching in Jerusalem during the feast of Tabernacles and the feast of Dedication. John evidently included it in His narrative because it contains important revelations of Jesus’ identity and explains the mounting opposition to Jesus that culminated in His crucifixion. read more
