Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why go you about to kill me?
All Commentaries on John 7:19 Go To John 7
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
The law of Moses prescribes that you shall not kill, but this law you transgress; for, why do you seek to kill me? You do not observe the law; otherwise you would learn from that law, that I am the Christ, and not seek to put me to death, when I appear amongst you. (St. Augustine, tract. 30, in Joan.)
If I cure on the sabbath-day, do not you also give circumcision, and also cure the wound on the sabbath? (Bible de Vence)
See ver. 23, of this chapter.
