John 7:28 - 53

Throughout Jesus' teaching ministry, people were drawn to Him.  His teaching style was so familiar yet so unlike the other teachers of the day, that many were drawn out of curiosity.  The religious leaders continued to seek to squelch His popularity, but even those sent to discourage and arrest Him were left in amazement at His ability to teach 'unlike any other.'  Jesus continued to teach about His being sent by the Father to do the Father's will and work.  Very few truly understood what He meant at the time, though several were able to arrive at the correct conclusion several years later.
