Commentary on John 7:44

Theological / Devotional

Would have taken. The Greek may be rendered, “wished to take.” Some, probably of the multitude, were by this time ready to act, or at least to aid and abet the baffled officers of state in their task, but no man laid hands on Him. His hour had not yet come (see on v. 6).
