6 Jesus spoke to them with this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.
7 So Jesus saidto them again,
19 At these words there was again a division among the Jews.
20 Many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is out of his mind; why do you listen to him?”
21 Others were saying, “These are not the words of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
22 Now it was the Feast of the Dedication in Jerusalem. It was winter,
23 and Jesus was walking in the temple courts, in Solomon's Portico.
24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long are yoʋ going to keep us in suspense? If yoʋ are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 Jesus answered them,
31 Then the Jews picked up stones again to stone him.
32 In response Jesus said to them,
33 The Jews answered him, “We are not going to stone yoʋ for any good work, but for blasphemy, because yoʋ, who are just a man, make yoʋrself out to be God.”
34 Jesus answered them,
39 Once again they tried to arrest him, but he eluded their grasp.
40 Then Jesus went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and he stayed there.
41 Many came to him and were saying, “John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true.”
42 And many of the people there believed in Jesus.
