Notes

John 7:29

I am from Him: Instead of answering questions about where he grew up (7:27, 40–44), Jesus spoke about where he truly came from. He pointed to his heavenly origin.

He said that he was sent by God. This was a bold claim.

The religious leaders understood what he meant. Because of this, they tried to arrest him. They believed he was speaking in a way that dishonored God (7:30; compare 10:30–33).

John 7:1–52

This chapter describes Jesus at the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles. Jesus used parts of the feast to reveal his true identity to his fellow Jews and to show that he had fulfilled the feast's essential meaning (see 7:37–39; 8:12).
