john 7:51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?

john 7:51 "Our Law does not judge a man, unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, does it?"

51. Doth our law, &c.--a very proper, but all too tame rejoinder, and evidently more from pressure of conscience than any design to pronounce positively in the case. "The feebleness of his defense of Jesus has a strong contrast in the fierceness of the rejoinders of the Pharisees" [WEBSTER and WILKINSON].

john 7:51 "Our Law does not judge a man, unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, does it?"
