{We know that God hath spoken unto Moses} (h(886d)eis oidamen
hoti M(9375)sei lelal(886b)en ho theos). Perfect active indicative of
lale(935c), so still on record. See Ex 33:11 . For lale(935c) used of
God speaking see Heb 1:1 . They are proud to be disciples of
Moses. {But as for this man, we do not know whence he is}
( outon de ouk oidamen pothen estin). "This fellow" they mean
by " outon" in emphatic position, we do not even know whence he
is. Some of the people did ( 7:27 ), but in the higher sense none
of the Jews knew ( 8:14 ). These Pharisees neither knew nor
cared.
