This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 7:7. Ὁ κόσμος, the world) concerning which [they had said], at Joh 7:4, “Show Thyself to the world.”-ὑμᾶς, you) as being of the world.-ἐμέ, Me) Comp. Joh 5:1, “The Jews sought to kill Him.”-μισεῖ, it hateth) So also men regard the followers of Christ either with the greatest love, or else with the greatest hatred. Those who please all men at all times, ought deservedly to look on themselves with suspicion.-μαρτυρῶ, I testify) The especial work of the Christ. It was thus He had testified, ch. Joh 5:33-47-πονηρά, evil) springing from the Evil One; 1Jn 5:19, “The whole world lieth in wickedness.” [That the works of the world are evil, the men of the world themselves all confess; but there is no one that does not try to except himself. There is to be added the detestable evil, hypocrisy; namely, they wish to appear very far removed from hatred towards Jesus Christ.-V. g.]
