Jesus therefore answered, and said to them: Murmur not among yourselves.

Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, 'Murmur not one with another;

"Do not thus find fault among yourselves," replied Jesus;

Jesus made answer and said, Do not say things against me, one to another.

And so Jesus responded and said to them: "Do not choose to murmur among yourselves.

"Do not murmur among yourselves," said Jesus in reply.

Murmur not among yourselves. He throws back on them the blame of the murmuring, as if he had said, "My doctrine contains no ground of offense, but because you are reprobate, it irritates your envenomed breasts, and the reason why you do not relish it is, that you have a vitiated taste."

Jesus therefore answered and said unto them,.... Either overhearing what they said, or knowing, as God, their secret murmurs, and private cavils among themselves, thus addressed them,
murmur not among yourselves: meaning neither about his descent from heaven, nor about coming to him, and believing in him; for it follows,

Murmur not . . . No man--that is, Be not either startled or stumbled at these sayings; for it needs divine teaching to understand them, divine drawing to submit to them.
