John 7:46

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

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 this not 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.
