The Net Is Drawing Tighter - Questions Among The People (John 7:25-35).

It is quite clear that the impact of Jesus' ministry has been such that everyone is talking about Him. The whole of Jerusalem is stirred He has become a prominent topic of conversation. His Name is on everyone's lips whether in support or derogatory. And many are puzzled as to why if Jesus is a false prophet He has not been arrested. This led them to think that perhaps the leadership were in favour of His claims without being willing to give open support. They could not have been further from the truth. And that is why the religious leadership would now determine that it was time to act.

John 7:25-35

25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying,Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

33 Then said Jesus unto them,Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.

34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
