John 7:46

The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man!"

And when Jesus had finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching,

And all spoke well of him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth; and they said, "Is not this Joseph's son?"

Here he is, speaking publicly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that he is the Christ?

And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
