  • Week 4 Day 3 – John 7:53-8:11
    Day 3: John 7:53-8:11


    Stories: Woman Caught in Adultery
    Curiosities:
    1) This passage does not exist in the earliest manuscripts available to us of the book of John. This doesn’t mean the story is not true or didn’t happen. It could have been added later by whomever edited the book of John (possibly done by the elders of Ephesus) by the will of John himself,  or because it was a story John had spoken so often. The story is not contradictory in any way to Jesus’ teaching or doctrine on anything and provides an interesting insight into the lives of the Pharisees, something John routinely points out.
    2) Why didn’t Jesus condemn the woman? Wasn’t it in the law? Didn’t Jesus say that He came not to destroy the law but to fulfill it? What did this mean?
    3) What did Jesus write in the sand and why did He do it?
    Paradoxes:
    1) Why did the Pharisees bring only the woman, instead of both the man and woman? According to the law, they both were supposed to die.
     
    The Mosaic law had a very interesting command for men who were jealous that their wives had been unfaithful. Jesus writing in the sand here was indicative of that command, found in Numbers 5:11-31.

    Day 2: John 7:25-52


    Stories: Festival Continued
    Curiosities:
    1) When Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from – a statement they will directly contradict almost immediately
    2) Jesus tells them that He is from God, but that they do not know Him, for which they tried to arrest Him.
    3) Messiah / Prophet debate – Deuteronomy 18:14-22
    Paradoxes: They said the Messiah would come from Bethlehem, but assume Jesus is from Galilee. Why doesn’t Jesus ever correct them? Why is Jesus silent on the matter of the place of His birth? John points this out several times and never see Jesus address this.

  • Week 4 Day 1 – John 7:1-24

    Day 1: John 7:1-24 Stories: Festival of Tabernacles Curiosities: 1) “After this” – is John implying a large passage of time? What does he mean by “after this?” It looks like about 6 months have passed, but why not just say this? 2) Jesus’ Brothers – who is this referring to? 3) What does the statement […]

    Day 1: John 7:1-24


    Stories: Festival of Tabernacles
    Curiosities:
    1) “After this” – is John implying a large passage of time? What does he mean by “after this?” It looks like about 6 months have passed, but why not just say this?
    2) Jesus’ Brothers – who is this referring to?
    3) What does the statement “my time is not yet here” mean? What is Jesus actually referring to?
    4) Judge correctly instead of by mere appearances – a theme repeated throughout John
    Paradoxes: My teaching is not my own – Isn’t He God in the flesh? How does the teaching come from God but not Himself as well? The Trinity is a concept that is difficult to grasp.

    Day 5: John 6:25-70 Stories: The Bread of Life Curiosities: 1) Why do they ask Jesus for a sign and why did they mention the Israelites manna? 2) Why does Jesus then liken Himself to the manna and call Himself the “bread of life?” 3) What made the people willing to call Jesus “the Prophet” but […]

    Day 5: John 6:25-70


    Stories: The Bread of Life
    Curiosities:
    1) Why do they ask Jesus for a sign and why did they mention the Israelites manna?
    2) Why does Jesus then liken Himself to the manna and call Himself the “bread of life?”
    3) What made the people willing to call Jesus “the Prophet” but when He called Himself the “bread of life” they discounted Him because they knew Him growing up?
    4) Why is Jesus intentionally strange about insisting that people “eat His flesh?” What a strange thing to say!
    Paradoxes: Jesus specifically chose His twelve disciples, including Judas. Why does Jesus stop here to say that He knew one of them was “a devil?” Why did Jesus give Judas charge over the money? Why on earth would God choose the very man who would betray Him and lead Him to death?

    Stories: Feeding the 5,000 & Walking on Water
    Curiosities:
    1) Why did Jesus test Phillip?
    2) Why would Andrew suggest using the boy’s loaves and fish to feed so many people?
    3) Why did the people who witnessed this miracle think Jesus was “the Prophet”? Why not the messiah?
    4) Why did Jesus walk on the water? What was the point of this?
    5) Why did the boat immediately reach the shore when Jesus got in? Why doesn’t John give us any additional information about such amazing miracles?
    Paradoxes: Why would the “King of Kings” withdraw and hide from the people so they couldn’t make Him king by force? This same John writes in Revelation that Jesus will sit on His throne in Jerusalem and rule the earth. What was wrong with this idea?
