Footnotes

  1. 47 Or “The common people” (as opposed to the religious authorities mentioned in 7:15).
  2. 48 Grk “You have a demon!”
  3. 49 Grk “Who is seeking to kill you?” Who is trying to kill you? Many of the crowd (if they had come in from surrounding regions for the feast) probably were ignorant of any plot. The plot was on the part of the Jewish leaders. Note how carefully John distinguishes between the leadership and the general populace in their respective responses to Jesus.
  4. 50 Grk “Jesus answered and said to them.”
  5. 51 Grk “I did one deed.”
  6. 52 The “one miracle” that caused them all to be amazed was the last previous public miracle in Jerusalem recorded by the author, the healing of the paralyzed man in John 5:1–9 on the Sabbath. (The synoptic gospels record other Sabbath healings, but John does not mention them.)
