Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now about the midst of the feast,.... About the fourth day of it, for it lasted eight days; this might be on the sabbath day, which sometimes was בתוך החג, "in the middle of the feast" n; and the rather, since it follows,
Jesus went up into the temple; as the Lord and proprietor of it, and as was his usual method; he had for some reasons kept himself retired till now, and now he appeared publicly:
and taught the people his doctrine; he expounded the Scriptures, gave the true sense of them, and instructed the people out of them.
n Misa. Succa, c. 5. sect. 5.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
About the midst - Or about the middle of the feast. It continued eight days.
The temple - See the notes at Matthew 21:12.
And taught - Great multitudes were assembled in and around the temple, and it was a favorable time and place to make known his doctrine.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse John 7:14. The midst of the feast — Though the canons required him to be there on the first day, for the performance of a great variety of rites, yet, as these were in general the invention of their doctors, he might think it very proper neither to attend nor perform them.
