Youth Time Alone with God

He points out that if anyone is really in earnest he will know whether Jesus’ teaching is divine in origin or not. But in this situation the people are trying to kill him and thus break the very law they profess to uphold. Their consideration for the outward letter of the law (as shown in their concern for circumcision) contrasts sharply with their carelessness toward the deeper things to which the law points (as shown in their concern for circumcision) contrasts sharply with their carelessness toward the deeper things to which the law pints (as shown in their attitude toward Jesus’ healing on the sabbath). Their values are wrong. They are superficial. They do not understand the meaning of the law they profess to honor, and therefore they do not recognize that the authority of Jesus is the very authority of God.

Leon Morris, The Gospel According to John, p. 404

When the heart is right with God a person will search the Scriptures, and so the mind will be sound, because it is under the control of the Spirit of God. A sincere Christian needs to rely upon God daily for guidance in his thinking, humbly seeking His will, ever willing to follow that blessed will when it is revealed in his own consciousness.

Manford George Gutzke, Plain Talk on John, p. 86
