The Law and the Kingdom of God
14 aThe Pharisees, who were blovers of money, heard all these things, and they cridiculed him.John 8:52
52The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! dAbraham died, as did the prophets, yet eyou say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never ftaste death.’John 9:30-34
30The man answered, “Why, this is gan amazing thing! hYou do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. 31We know that iGod does not listen to sinners, but jif anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him. 32Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind. 33 kIf this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” 34They answered him, l“You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?” And they mcast him out.John 9:40
40Some of the Pharisees near him heard these things, and said to him, n“Are we also blind?”John 10:20
20Many of them said, o“He has a demon, and pis insane; why listen to him?”Acts 17:18
18Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also conversed with him. And some said, q“What does this babbler wish to say?” Others said, “He seems to be a preacher of foreign divinities”—because rhe was preaching sJesus and the resurrection.Acts 17:32
32Now when they heard of tthe resurrection of the dead, usome mocked. But others said, v“We will hear you again about this.”1 Corinthians 1:21-24
21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach ▼▼Or the folly of preaching
to save those who believe. 22For xJews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23but we preach Christ ycrucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ zthe power of God and aathe wisdom of God.
