John 7:4

That doeth any thing in secret; works in a secluded place, removed from the observation of men.

And he himself seeketh; that is, while he himself seeketh.

To be known openly; they upbraid him with acting inconsistently. He seeks to be known openly as the Son of God, and yet he keeps himself removed from public view.

These things; the miracles which he wrought, in proof of his being the Messiah.
