a. Beginning of the Conversation.

Ver. 17. Jesus generally interrogates before instructing. As a good teacher, in order to be heard, He begins by causing his auditors to speak (John 1:38).

Ver. 18. Μόνος belongs to both verbs, παροικεῖς and οὐκ ἔγνως, together. They take Jesus for one of those numerous strangers who, like themselves, are temporarily sojourning at Jerusalem. An inhabitant of the city would not have failed to know these things; and in their view, to know them was to be engrossed with them.
