Commentary on John 7:4

Theological / Devotional

To the world. These “brethren” desired Jesus to show Himself openly to the multitudes gathering in Jerusalem for the feast, and display before them His wonderful miracles. There, they hoped, the rulers would test His claims, and if He were the Messiah and His wonderful works genuine, then amid the joys of the feast, in the royal city of His realm, they hoped He would be proclaimed king. Their solicitude may be compared with that of Mary at the marriage feast, who hoped that Jesus would prove to the group gathered there that God had chosen Him (eh. 2:3, 4).
