John 7:44 Commentary - Garner-Howes Baptist Commentary

1) "And some of them would have taken him” (tines de ethelon eks auton piasai auton) "Then certain of them wished to arrest him," some of those officers sent from the Sanhedrin council, of the Pharisees and chief or administrative priests, from their pre-plotted decisions, Joh 7:32, as they had already agreed to kill Him when they could, subtly, Joh 5:16; Joh 5:18.

2) "But no man laid hands on him." (all' oudeis epebalen ep' auton tas cheiras) "But not a one laid his hands upon him," as reflected previously, Joh 7:26; Joh 7:30.
