• PER212 The Jews are looking for the Messiah Jesus

    Pericope 212 relates, according to John 7.11-13 alone, the Jews' search for Jesus during the feast in Jerusalem in October AD 32. It illustrates the division of the people over the Messiah: some recognize him, others seek to eliminate him. The fear of the religious authorities hinders public conversions, revealing the political and spiritual tension of the time.

    John 7.12 (King James Version) :
    And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
