John 7:46

New International Reader's Version

“No one ever spoke the way this man does,” the guards replied.

See the chapter Copy

Everyone said good things about him. They were amazed at the gracious words they heard from his lips. “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” they asked.

They were amazed at his teaching, because his words had authority.

Here he is! He is speaking openly. They aren’t saying a word to him. Have the authorities really decided that he is the Messiah?

The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering things like this about him. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him.
