  • PER214 The authorities are looking for the Messiah Jesus in order to arrest him

    During the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem, the crowd wonders about the messianic identity of Jesus. Despite the confusion over his origins and the attempts of the religious authorities to arrest him, Jesus teaches publicly in the Temple, reaffirms his divinity and announces his coming departure. Since his hour has not yet come, the guards cannot seize him. This episode, unique to the Gospel of John (7.25-36), illustrates the growing opposition between Jesus and the religious authorities.

    John 7.31 (King James Version) :
    And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
