John 8:12 Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world.

Jesus reproves the ambition and boldness of his kinsmen;10. goes up from Galilee to the feast of tabernacles; 14. teaches in the temple. 40. Various opinions of him among the people. 45.

Others declared This phrase indicates a division among the people regarding the identity of Jesus. The Greek word used here for "others" is "ἄλλοι" (alloi), which suggests a distinct group within the crowd. This division is significant in the Gospel of John, as it highlights the varied responses to Jesus' ministry. Historically, this reflects the diverse expectations of the Messiah among the Jewish people at the time. Some expected a political liberator, while others anticipated a spiritual savior. The declaration by "others" shows that Jesus' identity was a topic of significant debate and discussion. He is the Christ But still others asked How can the Christ come from Galilee?

His life had been spent there, his ministry in the main restricted to the northern province. These questions give a vivid scene and portray a great emotion. The people are resting on the letter of prophecy (Micah 5:2), where the Messiah, as understood by their own teachers (see Matthew 2:5), was to proceed from Bethlehem; but they overlook the remarkable prediction in Isaiah 9:1, where Galilee is spoken of as the scene of extraordinary illumination.Parallel Commentaries ...
