This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 7:49. Οὗτος, this) This word is employed to express contempt.-τὸν νόμον, the law) Often the law denotes among the Hebrews what we express by the Bible; 1Co 9:8, “Say I these things as a man? Saith not the law the same also?”-ἐπικατάρατοι, accursed) The blustering on the part of these wretched men was great: whence arises the Metonymy of antecedent and consequent [substituting the former, when they mean the latter: and vice versâ]: i.e. they are accursed; [therefore it results that] they believe in Him, [and so] they remain accursed.
