With these words, Jesus claimed that He was the Messiah and the Savior about which the prophet Isaiah wrote seven hundred years earlier. The Scripture goes on to say how Jesus warned the people of Nazareth not to despise the Messiah whom God had sent to them. But that only made them more angry. But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way. They tried to kill Him because Jesus claimed to be the Messiah about whom all God's prophets had written.
Truth is a hot pepper.
But they could not do it, because the time appointed by God for Jesus to die had not yet come. We will learn more about this in a future lesson. We have heard two narratives about two groups of people. Both groups heard that Jesus claimed to be the Messiah, but their responses to His claim were very different. First, we heard about the sinner woman that Jesus met at the well and the people of Samaria.
