This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 7:3. Οἱ ἀδελφοί, His brethren) cousin-germans.-μετάβηθι, [depart] pass over) to sojourn there.-ἐντεῦθεν, hence) from this obscure place in Galilee.-εἰς τὴν Ιουδαίαν, into Judea) They send away the Messiah from Galilee to Judea; and then, from Judea to Galilee, Joh 7:52.[162]-ΚΑῚ ΟἹ ΜΑΘΗΤΑΊ ΣΟΥ, Thy disciples also) By this very expression they show, that they are not His disciples, Joh 7:5. There were many disciples of Jesus in Judea, especially at the feasts.-ζεωρήσωσι, may see) at the feast, in Jerusalem.
[162] “Out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.” Beng. means, that after first requiring Him to go from Galilee into Judea to prove His Messiahship, when He had gone there, they sent Him back to Galilee, rejecting His claims, just because He had come from Galilee.-E. and T.
