SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:45
¶ Y los servidores vinieron a los sumo sacerdotes y a los fariseos; y ellos les dijeron: ¿Por qu no le trajisteis?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 7:45
Verse 45. Then came the officers] They had followed him for several days, seeking for a proper opportunity to seize on him, when they might fix some charge of sedition, &c., upon him; but the more they listened, the more they were convinced of his innocence, purity, and consummate wisdom.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 45. Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees , etc.] Who were assembled together in council, as the great sanhedrim of the nation; who were sitting and expecting Jesus to be brought before them. The same officers they sent to take him, ( John 7:32), returned to them without him; for though they were sent on that errand which they intended to have performed, yet they were not on the side of those who were for seizing him by force, nor of those who objected to his being the Messiah; but rather took part with those who affirmed he was the Messiah; or at least looked upon him to be some extraordinary prophet: and they said unto them ; that is, the chief priests and Pharisees said to the officers; the Syriac version reads, the priests said unto them: why have ye not brought him ? They mention not the name of Jesus by way of contempt, and knowing that the officers would easily understand them; though the Persic version expresses it, reading the words thus, why have ye not brought Jesus? seeing them returned without him, they were transported with rage and fury, and fell upon them in a fierce and furious manner, for disobeying their orders, who had sat there waiting some time: and hoping, and not doubting, but they should have him in their hands, whose blood they were thirsting after: wherefore it was a great disappointment to them, and much enraged them to see them come without him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 40-53 - The malice of Christ's enemies is always against reason, and sometime the staying of it cannot be accounted for. Never any man spake with that wisdom, and power, and grace, that convincing clearness, and tha sweetness, wherewith Christ spake. Alas, that many, who are for a tim restrained, and who speak highly of the word of Jesus, speedily los their convictions, and go on in their sins! People are foolishly swaye by outward motives in matters of eternal moment, are willing even to be damned for fashion's sake. As the wisdom of God often chooses thing which men despise, so the folly of men commonly despises those whom God has chosen. The Lord brings forward his weak and timid disciples, an sometimes uses them to defeat the designs of his enemies __________________________________________________________________
