John 7:13

Jesus At The Feast Of Tabernacles

¹² There was a lot of whispered discussion and murmuring among the crowds about Him. Some were saying, “He is a good man”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He misleads the people [giving them false ideas].” ¹³ Yet no one was speaking out openly and freely about Him for fear of [the leaders of] the Jews. ¹⁴ When the feast was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple [court] and began to teach.
