Jesus'
words are 'spirit and life'. They are 'the words of eternal life'
(63,68). While others - including Judas Iscariot - were drawing back
from following Jesus, Peter confessed his faith in Jesus: 'You are the
Holy One of God' (66-71). It was only a matter of time before Judas
Iscariot (71) and 'the Jews'(1) formed an unholy alliance. The 'time'
was 'not yet' (6,8). Even the plans of evil men could only be fully
developed in the Lord's time. When God permitted their evil plans to
proceed, then it would be His time for Jesus' crucifixion and our
salvation (Acts 2:23). 'The Jews' were amazed at Jesus' teaching - 'How
is it that this man has learning when he has never studied? (15). They
did not understand that God's wisdom is different from man's wisdom.
Obey God. Receive wisdom (17; 1 Corinthians 1:18-25).
