aloof from our pa as from things in he calls blessed the destiny of the just and boasts that god is his father let us see whether his words be true let us find out what will happen to him for if the just one be the son of god he will defend him and deliver him from the hand of his foes with revilement and torture let us put him to the test that we may have proof of his gentleness and try his

did not wish to travel in today because the jews were trying to kill him but the jewish feast of tabernacles was near when his brothers had gone up to the feast in self also went out not openly but as if it were in secret some of the inhabitants of jerusalem said is he not the one who is trying we are trying to kill and look he is speaking openly and they say nothing to him but the authorities have realized that he is the christ we know where he is from when the christ comes no one will know where he is from so jesus cried out in the temple area as he was teaching and said you know me and also know where i am from it i did not come on my own but the one who sent me whom you do not know is true i know him because i am from him and he sent me so they tried to arrest him but no because his hour had not yet come the gospel of the lord prays to large jesus christ good friday good friday is only two weeks away right so are reading  bible these days today especially kind of give us a hint
