Introduction to Scripture
Possible Titles
Our reading today is .
This is Jesus teaching and the Treachery around it.
We start at
1. Teaching and Treachery
INTRODUCTION
Observations
This section like most of the ones where Jesus is teaching brings out the best and the worst in people.
Some believed but some wanted to arrest Him.
Part of the problem was that was that they thought they knew Jesus’ origins and they did not.
Part of it was because they did not like Him questioning there faith in God and making Himself equal to God.
Many questions.
Starts and ends with wanting to seize Him
Some believed
The whole teaching on the coming of the Holy Spirit was new to them and had never happened that way before so again they had trouble comprehending and believing Jesus or His teaching.
So, what better way to shut Him up than to have Him arrested and let the religious leaders deal with the problem.
confusion.
3. Second Reading ESV
In the end what Jesus had said about them really not knowing Him proved to be true and while some believed many did not and sought to have Him arrested.
30-31 Results of teaching about who He is
32-36 Officers sent to arrest Jesus
40- 44 Divisions among the people
The word "arrest" instead of "seize" is used
Out of his heart will flow streams of living
water rather than inner most being
Moves from teaching to prophecy and back
again but the people don't seem to follow
the flow
5. Fourth reading NET Bible
Prophecy of His crucifixion and ascension also the giving of the Holy Spirit.
6. Changes
whispering to muttering
scattered to Dispersion
on to now on
Feast to Festival
Flow from him to out of his heart
from his innermost being
out of his belly
out of the believers heart
Christ to Messiah
V.42 verifies what Jesus said about them not really knowing Him.
Analysis
I. V. 30-31 Reaction to Teaching
7:30 Response - At this
Act - they tried to seize Him,
Contrast - BUT
Results - no one laid a had on Him
Reason - Because His time had not yet come.
This verse is a response to the previous section where Jesus had told them they did not know Him because they did not know the Father that had sent Him.
BUT His time or hour had not yet come so the result was that no one laid a hand on Him
:31 Concept - Still,
Act - many in the crowd put their faith in Him.
They said,
Quote - "When the Christ comes
Question - will He do more miraculous signs than
this man?"
Even through the discord and unbelief some believed.
The word "still" could be translated "but" which is what ESV and others have done.
This highlights the fact that the work of the Father goes on even in conflict.
They put there trust, belief and confidence in Jesus because they saw His work and could not see any way the Messiah would or could do more.
The tense used here suggest that it was at this very point they came to believe.
II.
V. 32- 36 Sending Guards
:32 Act - The Pharisees heard
Specific - the crowd whisper (murmur) such
things about Him.
Time - Then
People - the chief priests
AND
the Pharisees
Act - sent
temple guards
to arrest Him.
Not willing to let this teacher get a foot hold on the people the leaders send out the temple police to arrest Jesus.
:33 Act - Jesus said, (therefore)
Quote - "I am with you for only a short time,
AND
Then I go to the one who sent Me.
Jesus is telling them of His death and ascension.
For Jesus this was a time of hope and a keen sense that His time among these people was indeed coming to a close.
:34 Act - You will look for me,
But
you will not find Me
AND
Where I am you cannot come."
For some they would look but die without faith in Jesus.
Where Jesus was going none of them could follow at this time, not even His closest disciples.
They would one day but not now not till after Jesus had paid the price and gone back to the Father to prepare a place for them.
:35 Response - The Jews said to one another,
Quote - "Where does this man intend to go that we cannot
find Him?
Question - Will He go where our people live scattered
among the Greeks,
AND
Teach the Greeks?
At this time the Israelites have been scattered among many different nations.
Some had come back but some had decided to stay in the places where they had been sent.
So was Jesus talking about taking His message to them.
Once again these people have completely misunderstood what Jesus was saying and are asking the wrong question.
