John 7
1. Jesus reproves the ambition and boldness of his kinsmen;
10. goes up from Galilee to the feast of tabernacles;
14. teaches in the temple.

45. The Pharisees are angry that their officers took him not,
50. and chide with Nicodemus for taking his side.














Then
The word "then" serves as a transitional term, indicating a sequence of events. In the context of John 7, it follows the discussions and debates that Jesus had with the people and religious leaders during the Feast of Tabernacles. The Greek word used here is "καὶ" (kai), which is often translated as "and" or "then," suggesting a continuation or conclusion of the preceding narrative. This transition marks the end of a public discourse and the beginning of a more private reflection, setting the stage for the events that follow in John 8.

each
The term "each" emphasizes individuality within the group. It suggests that every person involved in the preceding events made a personal decision to leave. This highlights the personal responsibility and choice each individual has in responding to Jesus' teachings. The Greek word "ἕκαστος" (hekastos) underscores the notion of individual action, reminding readers that faith and response to Christ are personal decisions.

went
The action of "went" indicates movement and decision. The Greek verb "ἐπορεύθη" (eporeuthē) implies a deliberate action, suggesting that after the intense discussions and revelations, the people chose to depart. This movement can symbolize a return to normalcy or a retreat from the spiritual confrontation they experienced. It invites readers to consider their own responses to divine encounters—whether they move towards deeper understanding or retreat to familiar routines.

to his own home
This phrase signifies a return to personal and private spaces. The Greek "εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ" (eis ton oikon autou) literally translates to "to his own house," indicating a return to one's personal life and responsibilities. Historically, homes were places of rest and reflection, where individuals could ponder the events of the day. Spiritually, this return can symbolize a retreat to one's inner life, where the teachings of Jesus can be contemplated and internalized. It challenges believers to consider how the public teachings of Christ influence their private lives and personal spaces.

(53) The section which follows (John 7:53 to John 8:11) is one of the most striking instances of an undoubted addition to the original text of the Gospel narratives. We shall find reason to believe that it belongs to the Apostolic age, and preserves to us the record of an incident in the life of our Lord, but that it has not come to us from the pen of St. John. (Comp. Excursus B: Some Variations in the Text of St. John's Gospel.) While, therefore, it is printed in the text here, our text being a reprint of the Authorised version, without addition or alteration, the reader will observe that it is an insertion which breaks the order of the discourse, and in working out the line of thought will bear this in mind.

And every man went unto his own house.--This is not to be taken, then, as marking the close of the discussion in the Sanhedrin. It joins the inserted section with something which has preceded, but we have no means of judging what this was.

Verse 53. - They went every man to his own house. This clause belongs to the pericope of the woman taken in adultery, and is encumbered with the textual and other difficulties involved in that paragraph. The words apply most imperfectly to the preceding narrative, which terminates with a private conversation between Nicodemus and other members of the Sanhedrin, and, at the same time, rather suggest the scattering of the crowd or the return of the pilgrims to Galilee, both of which form a very improbable consequence of ver. 52.
