Exegesis
The verse opens with the negative particle ou {Οὐ | Ou} introducing a rhetorical question, Mouses dedoken hymin ton nomon {Μωϋσῆς δέδωκεν ὑμῖν τὸν νόμον | Mōusēs dé-dō-ken hy-mîn tón nó-mon}, which can be rendered “Has not Moses given you the law?” The subject Mouses is fronted for emphasis, highlighting the respected human giver of the law, while the perfect dedoken portrays the giving as a completed past act with ongoing authority and relevance.
The coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} then links this acknowledged fact to a sharp contrast: oudeis ex hymon poiei ton nomon {οὐδεὶς ἐξ ὑμῶν ποιεῖ τὸν νόμον | ou-deís ex hy-môn poi-eî tón nó-mon}, “and none of you does the law.” The emphatic negative pronoun oudeis denies that even a single member truly “does” or “practices” the law, and the present indicative poiei depicts their current, habitual pattern of behavior.
In context — John 7:19
Has not Moses given you the law ? And yet none of you practices the law. Why do you seek to kill Me ?
