William MacDonald - The Lord's life was ordered from the beginning to the end. Each day and every movement was in accordance with a pre-arranged schedule. (Borrow Believer's Bible Commentary) (ED: IS THIS NOT TRUE OF OUR LIVES AS BELIEVERS TO A CERTAIN DEGREE - Pr 16:9, Pr 20:24, cf Eph 2:10) Barclay on My time - “In this passage the word is kairos, which characteristically means an opportunity; that is, the best time to do something, the moment when circumstances are most suitable.” Bob

William MacDonald - The world still expresses amazement and often complains when it finds believers with no formal religious training who are able to preach and teach the Word of God. (Borrow Believer's Bible Commentary)
João 7
William MacDonald - Jesus was the only One of whom such words could be spoken. Every other teacher has had some selfishness mixed in his service. It should be the ambition of every servant of the Lord to glorify God rather than self. (Borrow Believer's Bible Commentary) THOUGHT - Have you ever listened to religious speakers and wondered if they were telling the truth? Test them: (1) Their words should agree with, not contradict, the Bible; (2) their words should point to God and his will, not to themselves. (Borrow Life Application Study Bible) Colin Kruse - Such a statement applies to a person’s agent or representative. If the agent is ‘a man of truth’, he will act only for the honour of his principal, and in that case it may be said ‘there is nothing false about him’. On the lips of Jesus, however, ‘the one who sent him’ refers to the Father. Jesus claimed he worked for the Father’s honour alone, and therefore he was ‘a man of truth’ and there was ‘nothing false about him’. Literally rendered, this last clause would read, ‘there is no unrighteousness in Him’—something implied by Jesus later when he challenged ‘the Jews’: ‘Can any of you prove me guilty of sin?’ (Jn 8:46). (The Gospel according to John : an introduction and commentary) Merrill Tenney - The concluding phrase of Jn 7:18 emphasizes the sincerity of the man who seeks not his own reputation, but also that of the one who sent him. Falsehood and unrighteousness cannot be found in Him. This selflessness leads straight to the knowledge of God. Perhaps this dictum could be called a parallel of the Beatitude: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." (Mt 5:8+). (Borrow John the Gospel of Belief: An Analytic Study of the Text - Page 133) Utley on there is no unrighteousness in Him - Jesus could die in our place because He did not need to die for His own sin (2 Cor. 5:21). Jesus' sinlessness is a crucial theological issue. The issue is expressed often and in different ways. (1) Luke 23:41 (2) John 6:69; 7:18; 8:46; 14:30 (3) 2 Cor. 5:21 (4) Heb. 4:15; 7:26; 9:14 (5) 1 Pet. 1:19; 2:22 (Isa. 53:9) (6) 1 John 2:29; 3:5,7 Glory (1391) doxa from dokeo = to think) in simple terms means to give a proper opinion or estimate of something. Glory is something that is a source of honor, fame, or admiration. It describes renown, a thing that is beautiful, impressive, or worthy of praise. It follows that the glory of God expresses all that He is in His Being and in His nature, character, power and acts. He is glorified when He is allowed to be seen as He really is. To be where God is will be glory. To be what God intended will be glory. To do what God purposed will be glory. Charles Ryrie says that the glory of God "is the manifestation of any or all of His attributes. In other words, it is the displaying of God to the world. Thus, things which glorify God are things which show the characteristics of His being to the world. I like the way Puritan writer Thomas Watson described God's glory - Glory is the sparkling of the Deity… We may see God's glory blazing in the sun and twinkling in the stars (Ps 19:1)… A sight of God's glory humbles. The stars vanish when the sun appears. Doxa in John's writings - Jn. 1:14; Jn. 2:11; Jn. 5:41; Jn. 5:44; Jn. 7:18; Jn. 8:50; Jn. 8:54; Jn. 9:24; Jn. 11:4; Jn. 11:40; Jn. 12:41; Jn. 12:43; Jn. 17:5; Jn. 17:22; Jn. 17:24; Rev. 1:6; Rev. 4:9; Rev. 4:11; Rev. 5:12; Rev. 5:13; Rev. 7:12; Rev. 11:13; Rev. 14:7; Rev. 15:8; Rev. 16:9; Rev. 18:1; Rev. 19:1; Rev. 19:7; Rev. 21:11; Rev. 21:23; Rev. 21:24; Rev. 21:26 True (227) alethes from a = negates + letho [from lanthano] = to escape notice, be hid; See related word aletheia) is an adjective which literally describes that which does not escape notice. Thus alethes describes that which is manifest, that which is unconcealed, that which conforms to reality (and thus is genuine), that which is in accordance with facts, that which is real (authentic, not imaginary). Alethes is used to describe Jesus several times in the Gospels - Mt 22:16; Mk 12:14; Jn 7:18. Alethes describes that which is true, sincere, real, correct, faithful, trustworthy, genuine, veracious. Alethes can mean loving or speaking the truth (truthful) (Mt 22:16, Mk 12:14, Jn 7:18, 2Cor 6:8). God Himself is referred to as true (Jn 3:33, 8:26, Ro 3:4). Other things described as true include testimony (Jn 5:31,32, 8:13, 14, Jn 19:35, 21:24, 3Jn 1:12), grace (1Pe 5:12), proverb (2Pe 2:22), true commandment (1Jn 2:8). Alethes describes that which conforms to reality, that which is unconcealed, that which is manifest, that which is in accordance with facts, that which is characterized by reality (and thus is genuine), that which is real (authentic, not imaginary). Alethes is used to describe Jesus several times in the Gospels - Mt 22:16; Mk 12:14; Jn 7:18. Alethes in NT - 26x/25v real(1), true(21), truly(1), truth(1), truthful(2). - most often used by John - Matt. 22:16; Mk. 12:14; Jn. 3:33; Jn. 4:18; Jn. 5:31; Jn. 5:32; Jn. 6:55; Jn. 7:18; Jn. 8:13; Jn. 8:14; Jn. 8:17; Jn. 8:26; Jn. 10:41; Jn. 19:35; Jn. 21:24; Acts 12:9; Rom. 3:4; 2 Co. 6:8; Phil. 4:8; Tit. 1:13; 1 Pet. 5:12; 2 Pet. 2:22; 1 Jn. 2:8; 1 Jn. 2:27; 3 Jn. 1:12 Unrighteousness (iniquity (93) adikia from a = not + dikê = right) is a condition of not being right, whether with God, according to the standard of His holiness and righteousness or with man, according to the standard of what man knows to be right by his conscience. Friberg says adikia is "generally disregard for what is right; (1) as disregard for divine law unrighteousness, wrongdoing (Heb 8.12), correlated with anomia (lawlessness, wickedness) and opposite dikaiosune (righteousness, uprightness); (2) as disregard for human rights injustice, unrighteousness, violation of justice (Ro 1.18); (3) as disregard for the respect and obedience due to God wickedness, unrighteousness, wrongdoing (1Jn 1.9 = " cleanse us from all unrighteousness."), correlated with hamartia (sin); (4) as disregard for truth wrong, evil ( 1Co 13.6), opposite aletheia (truth) (Borrow Analytical Lexicon of the Greek New Testament) In secular Greek adikia referred to unjust acts, or to deeds which caused personal injury. Rather than a general concept of injustice, this word was taken, in the writings of Plato, to mean an unjust act which injures a specific person. Such an act was not necessarily a violation of some specific law, but rather an affront against the just order of society. Among the acts which fell into this category were theft, fraud, and sexual crimes. Later this word came to mean a neglect of duty toward the pagan gods. The Septuagint (LXX) used this word to describe social sins, those deeds which violated human relations or the political order of society. Among these injustices were deceit, fraud, and lying.

John 7:1 After these things Jesus was walking in Galilee, for He was unwilling to walk in Judea because the Jews were seeking to kill Him. Romans 2:17-20 But if you bear the name “Jew” and rely upon the Law and boast in God, 18 and know His will and approve the things that are essential, being instructed out of the Law, 19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth, JESUS' SENTENCE: LAWBREAKERS! In light of Jesus' description of Himself in Jn 7:18 (seeking God's glory, a Man Who is true and speaks truth, a Man without unrighteousness), He now confronts the Jews who do not keep the law and in fact are the antithesis of Himself - they are seeking their own glory, speaking falsehoods, and filled with sin. Colin Kruse adds "Jesus’ opponents prided themselves on knowing God’s will already because they knew Moses’ law (see Jn 9:28-29; Ro. 2:17-20)." (Borrow The Gospel According to John : An Introduction and Commentary) Did not Moses give you the Law - Give is in the perfect tense emphasizing the result of the past giving and their present possession. This question is rhetorical for the Jews would answer "Of course Moses gave us the Law." As they used to say at Westpoint Military Academy when someone did wrong and was accused, "No excuse sir!" The Jews had no excuse. They had perverted the primary purpose of the Law which was to be like a mirror which they looked into revealing the dirt on their face (sin in their heart).

William MacDonald - Stott points out that we drink in small gulps or sips, but these are multiplied into a mighty confluence of flowing streams. Temple warns: "No one can be indwelt by the Spirit of God and keep that Spirit to himself. Where the Spirit is, He flows forth; if there is no flowing forth, He is not there."
