Contextual Overview

1 After these thynges, Iesus went about in Galilee: For he would not go about in Iurie, because that the Iewes sought to kyll hym. 2 The Iewes feaste of tabernacles was at hande. 3 His brethren therfore sayde vnto him: Get thee hence, and go into Iurie, that thy disciples also may see thy workes that thou doest. 4 For there is no man that doeth any thyng in secrete, and he hym selfe seketh to be knowen openly. Yf thou do suche thynges, shewe thy selfe to the worlde. 5 For his brethren beleued not in hym. 6 Then Iesus sayde vnto them, My tyme is not yet come: but your tyme is alway redy. 7 The worlde can not hate you, but me it hateth, because I testifie of it, that the workes therof are euyll. 8 Go ye vp vnto this feast: I wyll not go vp yet vnto this feast, for my tyme is not yet full come. 9 When he had saide these wordes vnto them, he abode styll in Galilee. 10 But assoone as his brethre were gone vp, then went he also vp vnto the feaste, not openly, but as it were priuilie.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him,.... There was a general whisper, and a private controversy and contention among the people about him, upon inquiry being made after him:

for some said he is a good man; a man of a good principle, of a good life and conversation; and who is good, kind, and beneficent, both to the bodies and souls of men; preaches good doctrine, and does many good things:

others said: nay, or denied him to be a good man:

but he deceiveth the people; drawing them off from the law of Moses, teaching them to break the sabbath, setting himself up for the Messiah, and asserting himself to be the son of God.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Murmuring - Contention, disputing.

He deceiveth the people - That is, he is deluding them, or drawing them away by pretending to be the Messiah.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse John 7:12. Some said, He is a good man — The multitude were divided in their opinions concerning him: those who knew him best said, He is a good man. Those who spoke according to the character given him by the priests, c., said, Nay but he deceiveth the people. Those who spoke evil of him spoke out, because they had the rulers on their side; but those who spoke good of him were obliged to do it in private, because they feared these rulers. Calumny and slander are among the privileged orders; they stalk abroad with their thousand brazen mouths, and blast the reputation of the followers of God. Benevolence and candour are only on sufferance; and a whisper in secret is the most they are permitted to give in behalf of Christ and his followers, whose laws and maxims condemn a vicious world, and goad it to revenge.
