The Gospel of John - Part 7

Part 7 picks up at the end of Chapter 6 after many of Jesus' disciples desert Him. Here we see Jesus ask the Twelve if they want to leave also. Peter answers in verses 68-69, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life and we have believed and have come to know that you are the Holy One of God."

Chapter 7

Opens with Jesus going secretly to the Feast of Booths. He begins teaching in the temple and is confronted by the Pharisees. In verse 19, Jesus accuses them saying, "Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?"

Then we see the Pharisees send officers to arrest Jesus but because His time had not yet come they are unable arrest Him. At the end of Chapter 7 we see the Pharisees confronting the officers and asking why they did not arrest Jesus. The officers said, in verse 46, "No one ever spoke like this man!"

Chapter 8

Part 7 ends with the woman caught in adultery. The Pharisees bring her to Jesus to try to trap Him. They say that the law of Moses says she should be stoned to death. Jesus stops them cold when He says in verse 7, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."
