In response to Jesus' words at the Festival of Booths - Tabernacles, there is division among the people as to who he is. Some are convinced, some are confused, some are combative, and some are confounded. However, in addition to division in the crowds, the prideful religious leaders feel utter disdain towards this man Jesus. This passage helps inform Christians how they ought to handle Scripture to know the true person of Jesus, and the need for humility in knowing Christ.
