THE MESSAGE
That's when some of the people of Jerusalem said, "Isn't this the one they were out to kill? And here he is out in the open, saying whatever he pleases, and no one is stopping him. Could it be that the rulers know that he is, in fact, the Messiah? And yet we know where this man came from. The Messiah is going to come out of nowhere. Nobody is going to know where he comes from."

Contextual Overview
14 But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. 15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How does this man know letters, having never learned? 16 Jesus therefore answered them and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me. 17 If any man wills to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or [whether] I speak from myself. 18 He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory: but he that seeks the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. 19 Has not Moses given you the law? And [yet] none of you does the law. Why do you seek to kill me? 20 The multitude answered, You have a demon: who seeks to kill you? 21 Jesus answered and said to them, I did one work, and you all marvel because thereof. 22 Moses has given you circumcision- not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers- and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man. 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you angry with me, because I made a man every bit whole on the Sabbath?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then said some of them of Jerusalem,.... Who were inhabitants of Jerusalem, and so are distinguished from the people, John 7:20, who came up out of the country to the feast; so Jose ben Jochanan is called ××ש ×ר×ש×××, "a man of Jerusalem" c; that is, an inhabitant of it: now these men living in the city, knew more of the temper and disposition, the designs and attempts, of the chief priests, Scribes, and elders, to take away the life of Christ; and therefore say,
is not this he whom they seek to kill? they knew that they had formed a design to kill him, ever since the passover before the last; when he wrought the miracle referred to in the text, and that they had been ever since plotting against his life, and were now at this feast seeking an opportunity to lay hold on him and kill him.
c Pirke Abot, c. 1. sect. 4, 5.
