John 7:45-49

The Message

⁴⁵ That’s when the Temple police reported back to the high priests and Pharisees, who demanded, “Why didn’t you bring him with you?”

⁴⁶ The police answered, “Have you heard the way he talks? We’ve never heard anyone speak like this man.”

^47-49 The Pharisees said, “Are you carried away like the rest of the rabble? You don’t see any of the leaders believing in him, do you? Or any from the Pharisees? It’s only this crowd, ignorant of God’s Law, that is taken in by him—and damned.”
