6 Jesus used this illustration, but the Pharisees didn’t understand what He was telling them.
7 Then Jesus told them again,
19 The Jews were divided again, because of these words.
20 Many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to Him?”
21 Others were saying, “These aren’t the sayings of a demon-possessed person. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
22 At that time the Feast of Dedicationtook place in Jerusalem. It was winter,
23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24 Then the Jews gathered around Him, and asked Him, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 Jesus answered,
31 Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.
32 Jesus answered,
33 The Jews answered Him, “We aren’t stoning you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because You, being a man, claim to be God.”
34 Jesus answered,
39 Therefore they were trying again to seize Him, and He escaped from their grasp.
40 Jesus went away again across the Jordan to the place where John was first baptizing, and He was staying there.
41 Many came to Him and were saying, “John performed no miraculous sign, but everything that John said about this man was true.”
42 Many believed in Jesus there.
