Long olketa year bihaen Jesus baptaes staka pipol savve long hem. Plande thousand Jew lukim hem duim olketa mirakol, and pipol long staka ples herem nius abaotem olketa samting wea hem duim.

Samfala sei: “Hem gud man ia.” Olketa narawan sei: “Nomoa ia, hem savve laea long pipol.” (John 7:12) Bat no eniwan willing for standap front long pipol and sei olketa sapotim Jesus bikos olketa fraetem olketa bigman bilong olketa Jew.

Long mek-foa day bilong datfala hipap nao Jesus kam long temple. Staka pipol sapraes long nambawan wei wea hem teach. Jesus no skulim religion bilong olketa Jew, so olketa Jew sei: “Man hia nating skulim diswan nomoa ia! Hao nao hem savve long olketa samting olsem?”—John 7:15.

Sapos man laek for duim samting wea God laekem, hem bae savve sapos samting wea mi teachim hem kam from God or hem from tingting bilong miseleva.” (John 7:16, 17) Jesus no teachim eni samting wea againstim Law bilong God, so olketa shud luksavve hem mekhae long God and no long hemseleva.

Then Jesus sei: “Moses nao givim Law long iufala, iaman? Bat no eniwan long iufala obeyim datfala Law. Why nao iufala laek for killim mi dae?” Samfala pipol wea kam from olketa nara ples no savve olketa bigman laek duim olsem long Jesus.

Iufala mas no judgem man from samting wea iufala lukim, bat iufala mas judgem man followim stret samting.”—John 7:23, 24.

Hem story long evriwan bat olketa bigman nating talem eni samting long hem. Masbi olketa tingse hem Christ nao ia, or hao?” Sapos olsem, hao nao pipol hia no bilivim Jesus hem Christ? Olketa sei: “Iumi savve long wea nao disfala man hem kam from. Bat taem Christ hem kam, bae no eniwan savve long wea nao hem kam from.”—John 7:25-27.

Mi savve long hem, bikos mi man for toktok for hem, and hem nao sendem mi kam.” (John 7:28, 29) Taem hem tok stret olsem, olketa laek holem hem for putim hem long prison or for killim hem dae. Bat olketa no savve duim datwan bikos hem no kasem yet taem for Jesus dae.

So hem stret for olketa sei: “Taem Christ hem kam, bae hem duim staka mirakol, iaman? Disfala man duim staka mirakol, so masbi hem nao Christ!”—John 7:31.
