Verses of John 7
John 7:52 Commentary - Garner-Howes Baptist Commentary
1) "They answered and said unto him," (apekrithesan kai eipan auto) "They responded and said to him directly," with sarcasm, taunting, not with an argument of logical or defensible nature.
2) "Art thou also of Galilee?" (me kaisu ek tes Galilaias ei) "You are not out of Galilee, are you?" Such was a contemptuous remark against Nicodemus. They assumed that Jesus was a Galilean, of the land of the Gentiles, though had they examined their own records, they would have known that by both prophecy and history He was a native born Judean, Gen 49:10; Mic 5:2; Mat 2:4-15; Luk 2:1-12.
3) "Search, and look:” (ereuneson kai ide) "Search out and examine," see for yourself. So prejudiced were they against Jesus that they would try to stigmatize Him for being brought up in Galilee, See? But they themselves had not searched the Word, for He must go there to show light, Isa 9:1-2; Joh 1:4; Joh 1:9.
4) "For out of Galilee ariseth no prophet." (hoti ek tes Galilaias prophetes ouk egeiretai) "Because out of Galilee a prophet is not raised up." So what does that have to do with red apples? They should have said, ''none arises, that we know of," See? Though the "that prophet," who was to come, of whom Moses spoke was not born there, He was to arise there, as a prophet showing forth His light and hope, and He did, Deu 18:15-19; Mat 4:12-25, Luk 4:14,24.
