John 7:46

New American Bible - revised edition

The guards answered, “Never before has anyone spoken like this one.”

See the chapter Copy

And all spoke highly of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth. They also asked, “Isn’t this the son of Joseph?”

and they were astonished at his teaching because he spoke with authority.

And look, he is speaking openly and they say nothing to him. Could the authorities have realized that he is the Messiah?

The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring about him to this effect, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent guards to arrest him.
