“But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.”
John 7:49 (KJV)
Commentary on John 7:49
But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. The Pharisees show contempt for common people. 'This people' (ho ochlos houtos) is dismissive. 'Who knoweth not the law' assumes the crowd is ignorant of Torah. 'Are cursed' (epikataroi eisin) consigns them to divine judgment. This reveals the Pharisees' elitism and pride. They view themselves as enlightened, the people as cursed ignoramuses. Jesus repeatedly challenged this attitude (Matthew 23:2-7), demonstrating God's heart for the lost and marginalized.
