The Worries of the Jews

Text: John 7: 32-34

THE WORRIES OF THE JEWS

The Jewish authorities were deeply worried about the inclinations of the multitudes. They were even more determined to arrest Jesus.

“The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things
concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests
sent officers to take Him. Then Jesus said to them, ‘I shall
be with you a little while longer, and then I go to Him who sent Me.
You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come.’”

John 7:32-34

iv. They had rejected Jesus! They even had the audacity to plan and plot to kill the Son of God!
