SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:30
Entonces procuraban prenderle; mas ninguno puso en l mano, porque an no había venido su hora.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 30. Then they sought to take him , etc.] By force, and carry him before the sanhedrim, in order to be tried and condemned as a blasphemer, being enraged to hear him claim a descent from God, whom they took to be a mere man, the son of Joseph the carpenter: but no man laid hands on him ; though they had a good will to it, they had no power to do it, being restrained by the, secret providence of God from it, and awed by the majesty of Christ, which showed itself in his looks and words; and perhaps also they might be afraid of the people, lest they should rise in his favour; and so every man being fearful of being the first that should seize him, no man did: however, so it was ordered by divine providence, that he should not be apprehended at, this time, because his hour was not yet come ; to suffer and die, to depart out of this world, and go to the Father: there was a precise time fixed for this in the council and covenant of God, by mutual compact, called due time; as his coming into the world is called the fulness of time; nor could he die before that time, and therefore no man was suffered to lay hands on him, whatever good will he had to it. And there is a time for every mans death, nor can any man die before that time, or live beyond it; (see Ecclesiastes 3:2 Job 14:5); and this is the sense of the ancient Jews; for they say f318 , a man before his years, or his time, does not die; that is, before he comes to the years appointed for him: and they ask f319 , who is there that goes before his time? i.e. dies before his time? And it is said of a certain person who was in his house, and hynmz ajm , his time was come; and he died without sickness: though it must be owned some of them were otherwise minded, and say f321 , that death, by the hand of heaven, or God, shortens a mans years; and that there are some reasons for which righteous men depart out of this world before their time is come; and particularly of Enoch they say, God took him before his time was come f322 .
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 25-30 - Christ proclaimed aloud, that they were in error in their thought about his origin. He was sent of God, who showed himself true to his promises. This declaration, that they knew not God, with his claim to peculiar knowledge, provoked the hearers; and they sought to take him but God can tie men's hands, though he does not turn their hearts.
