Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 5:17-47
First great discourse, furnished by John, of Jesus to the hostile Jews, John 5:17-47. The best biblical scholars consider this defence, or self-explanation, to have been delivered by Jesus before the Sanhedrim.

See John 5:35; John 5:38; John 5:40. read more
