(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

We know that God hath spoken unto Moses (hēmeis oidamen hoti Mōusei lelalēken ho theos). Perfect active indicative of laleō, so still on record. See Exo 33:11. For laleō used of God speaking see Heb 1:1. They are proud to be disciples of Moses.

But as for this man, we do not know whence he is (touton de ouk oidamen pothen estin). “This fellow” they mean by “touton” in emphatic position, we do not even know whence he is. Some of the people did (Joh 7:27), but in the higher sense none of the Jews knew (Joh 8:14). These Pharisees neither knew nor cared.
