John 7:46

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Interconfessional

The police answered, “Never has anyone spoken like this!”

See the chapter Copy

All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth. They said, “Is not this Joseph's son?”

They were astounded at his teaching, because he spoke with authority.

And here he is, speaking openly, but they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Messiah?

The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering such things about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent temple police to arrest him.
