John 7:51
_ _ Doth our law, etc. — a very proper, but all too tame rejoinder, and evidently more from pressure of conscience than any design to pronounce positively in the case. “The feebleness of his defense of Jesus has a strong contrast in the fierceness of the rejoinders of the Pharisees” [Webster and Wilkinson]. |

Doth our law judge [any] man, before it hear him, and know (n) what he doeth?
(n) What the one who is accused has committed. |
Deuteronomy 1:17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; [ but] ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment [ is] God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring [ it] unto me, and I will hear it.
Deuteronomy 17:8- 11 If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, [ being] matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose; ... According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, [to] the right hand, nor [ to] the left.
Deuteronomy 19:15- 19 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. ... Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
Proverbs 18:13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth [ it], it [ is] folly and shame unto him.
