Contextual Overview

22 The feast of dedication took place at that time, in Jerusalem: it was, winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon. 24 The Jews, therefore, surrounded him, and were saying unto him - How long, holdest thou, our lives, in suspense? If, thou, art the Christ, tell us, plainly. 25 Jesus answered them - I told you, and ye believe not: The works which, I, am doing in the name of my Father, the same, bear witness concerning me. 26 But, ye, believe not, because ye are not of my sheep. 27 My sheep, unto my voice, hearken, - and, I, know, them, and they follow me, - 28 And, I, give unto them life age-abiding, and in nowise shall they perish, unto times age-abiding; and no one shall carry them off out of my hand. 29 What, my Father, hath given me, is, something greater than all, and, no one, can carry off out of the hand of my Father: - 30 I and the Father, are, one. 31 The Jews again lifted up stones, that they might stone him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Jesus walked in the temple,.... To keep himself warm, and to secure him the better from the inclemency of the weather:

in Solomon's porch; which was covered over, and the outside of it was enclosed with a wall, which made it very convenient for such a purpose: this was on the outside of the temple eastward, and was a very magnificent structure: the account Josephus n gives of it is this;

"there was a porch without the temple, overlooking a deep valley, supported by walls of four hundred cubits, made of four square stone, very white; the length of each stone was twenty cubits, and the breadth six; the work of king Solomon, who first founded the whole temple.''

Now, though this was not the porch that was built by Solomon, yet as it was built on the same spot, and in imitation of it, it bore his name; mention is made of it in Acts 3:11.

n Antiqu. l. 20. c. 8. sect. 7.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Solomon’s porch - The porch or covered way on the east of the temple. See the notes at Matthew 21:12.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 23. Solomon's porch. — By what we find in Josephus, Ant. b. xx. c. 8, s. 7, a portico built by Solomon, on the east side of the outer court of the temple, was left standing by Herod, when he rebuilt the temple. This portico was four hundred cubits long, and was left standing, probably, because of its grandeur and beauty. But when Agrippa came to Jerusalem, a few years before the destruction of the city by the Romans, and about eighty years after Herod had begun his building, (till which time what Herod had begun was not completed,) the Jews solicited Agrippa to repair this portico at his own expense, using for argument, not only that the building was growing ruinous, but that otherwise eighteen thousand workmen, who had all of them, until then, been employed in carrying on the works of the temple, would be all at once deprived of a livelihood.
