Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on John 7:21-24.


John 7:22

_ _ Moses ... gave unto you circumcision, etc. — Though servile work was forbidden on the sabbath, the circumcision of males on that day (which certainly was a servile work) was counted no infringement of the Law. How much less ought fault to be found with One who had made a man “every whit whole” — or rather, “a man’s entire body whole” — on the sabbath-day? What a testimony to the reality of the miracle, none daring to meet the bold appeal.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on John 7:14-36.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

John 7:22

Moses gave you circumcision — The sense is, because Moses enjoined you circumcision (though indeed it was far more ancient than him) you think it no harm to circumcise a man on the Sabbath: and are ye angry at me (which anger had now continued sixteen months) for doing so much greater a good, for healing a man, body and soul, on the Sabbath?
