John 7:1
"After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him."

Commentary

Matthew Henry Concise

📖

Summary

The brethren or kinsmen of Jesus were disgusted, when they found there was no prospect of worldly advantages from him. Ungodly men sometimes undertake to counsel those employed in the

work of God; but they only advise what appears likely to promote present advantages.

Reflection

The people differed about his doctrine and miracles, while those who favoured him, dared not openly to avow their sentiments. Those who count the preachers of the gospel to be

deceivers, speak out, while many who favour them, fear to get reproach by avowing regard for them.WHBC 1005.2
