John Chapter 7, Verse 31
From BibleWiki
31: πολλοι δε εκ του οχλου επιστευσαν εις αυτον και ελεγον οτι ο χριστος οταν ελθη μητι πλειονα σημεια τουτων ποιησει ων ουτος εποιησεν
31: And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ
cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man
hath done?
31: But of the people many believed in him and said: When the Christ
cometh, shall he do more miracles than this man doth?
Will he do more miracles? It was a common expectation that the Messiah would work many miracles. This opinion was founded on such passages as Isa 35:5, Isa 35:6, &c.: "Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped; then shall the lame man leap as an hart," &c. Jesus had given abundant evidence of his power to work such miracles, and they therefore believed that he was the Messiah.
