Barclay notes that the Jews “held that the Messiah would appear. The idea was that he was waiting concealed and some day would burst suddenly upon the world and no one would know where he had come from.” (John 7 Commentary) Bob Utley feels no one knows where He is from "refers to a rabbinical Messianic tradition based on Mal. 3:1 which says "And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple." This is found in 1 Enoch 48:6 and 4 Ezras 13:51–52." (John 7 Commentary) A T
João 7
Barclay - “The Pharisees had a phrase by which they described the ordinary, simple people who did not observe the thousands of regulations of the ceremonial law. They called them the People of the Land; to them they were beneath contempt.” Accursed (eparatos - only here in NT although a similar form of the word is used in Gal 3:10,13) is a verbal adjective from eparaomai which means to call down curses upon. One who is cursed because of improper relationship with the Law. BDAG says epartos means "pert. to being pronounced outside the realm of the sacred, with implication of being under divine condemnation." In this passage eparatos is a term of judgment used by the Pharisees. Referring to Dt 27:26, the Pharisees noted that those who did not confirm the Law by obeying it were cursed. The Pharisees’ claim was that those believing in Jesus were not following the Law. Edwin Blum points out that "The irony of the situation was that the Pharisees, not the mob, were under God's wrath because they rejected God's revelation in Jesus (John 3:36)."
