John 7:
Jesus went around Galilee and
intentionally avoided Judea because the Jews there wanted him dead. His
brothers then encouraged him to go to Jerusalem so that his disciples and the
world could see his miracles since he wants to be a public figure (jealousy).
Jesus told his brothers that they can go to the feast in Jerusalem, but he
cannot go because it is not the right time for him. He further explains to
them that the world hates him because he speaks against their evil, but Jesus
went secretly after his brothers had gone. Jesus soon went to the temple
to teach and all were amazed at his knowledge without studying. Jesus
responded by saying that his teaching comes directly from God, who sent him.
Jesus wanted to know why the Jews wanted to kill him for healing a man on the
Sabbath, but they circumcise on the Sabbath. Jesus taught that he will be with
them a little while, soon return to the father, they will seek him but cannot
find him, and where he is they cannot come. The chief priests and Pharisees
wanted the temple guards to arrest him, but the temple guards said none spoke
like Jesus and the people have faith in him. Some people and the Jewish
leaders doubted Jesus as Messiah because they saw him as Galilean and not a
descendant of David.
John 8:
Jesus
went back to the temple to teach and the Jewish leaders brought an adulteress to
him and asked him what to do with her since Moses said she should be stoned to
death. Jesus began to write on the ground and told them to stone her if they
themselves had no sin. Everyone left her and Jesus told her to go, but to sin no more.
Jesus soon told the people that he was the light of the world and none that
follow him will see darkness. He also said that he did not need human witnesses
to testify about him because he can testify for himself and his father can also
testify for him. Jesus tells the Pharisee that he is from above and they are
from below, as well as they will die in their sins if they do not believe that
he is the Christ. He also assured them that they will know that he is Christ
after his death and resurrection. Jesus told the Jews that held on the Abraham
as their father that they were children of Satan because Abraham would not kill
him, but Satan would and Satan is the father of lies against God. Jesus says the
Jews do not believe in Jesus because they are not of God. The Jews called Jesus
a Samaritan and demon-possessed, but Jesus said he is not demon-possessed and he
is representing God. He also declared that Abraham rejoiced at his day and
before Abraham he is. |

John 9:
Jesus met a man that was
blind from birth, but Jesus said neither the man nor his parents sinned. Jesus
soon mixed saliva in mud and rubbed the man's eyes with it. He sent the man to the pool
to wash it and the man got his sight. The Pharisee investigate the healing and told
the people that Jesus was not of God because he heals on a Sabbath, but some
disagreed because why would any sinner perform such miracles. The man felt that
Jesus was a prophet. The Jews doubted that he was born blind and asked for his
parents. The parents testified that their son was born blind and wanted him to
speak for himself because the Jews had threatened that whoever acknowledges
Jesus as the Christ will be throw out of the synagogue. The Jews insulted the
man for believing in Jesus and not God or Moses, but the man told them that he
had never seen anyone open the eyes of the blind and God must be with him. So
They threw him out of the synagogue. Jesus went to him afterwards and the man gave
his life to Christ.
John 10:
Jesus said
those who do not enter through the gate but climbs in by other ways is a robber.
The one that enters by the gate is the owner of the sheep and the sheep follow
him because they know his voice. Jesus claims that he is the gate through which
people come through and are saved, and is the good shepherd that lays his life down
for the sheep. Jesus says he has the authority to lay down his life and pick it
back up at his own will. The Jews demanded from Jesus at the temple to say
clearly if he was the Christ. Jesus told them that they refused to believe his
words and miracles because the Jews were not Jesus' sheep. He claimed that God gave
him his sheep and none will be lost from eternal life because God and Jesus are
one. The Jew tried to stone him for saying that he was God, but Jesus showed
that it was written in scripture. |
