John 7

50Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked, 51"Does our law condemn anyone without first hearing him to find out what he is doing?"
52They replied, "Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophete" does not come out of Galilee."

wow each chapter in John is pretty long or has much content. And often it is hard to grasp the main point of Jesus teachings within a short time of period. hehe thats why I last time choose a pasage from a event which really took place. This time I also do not refer to the difficult teaching of Jesus. I like to quote another man: Nikodemus. He once said to Jesus
¹Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council. ²He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him." (John 3 1-2) And here he speaks to the other Pharisees who are agry about Jesus and the people who follow Jesus. He askes them a question. On what is their behavior or disire based? On the law? Nikodemus says no because if they would act as it is in the law they would first to a hearing to find out who Jesus is. And the question weather their actions are based on love is not necessary to be asked. What made me recognise this verse (john7.51) was the german word "erkennen". Not only here but also in chapter 6 this word is used in context with Jesus.
^{john 6. 69}We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God." in german its the same vocabulary :erkennen. And I am sure that at least Daniela will think of another book when we talk about "erkennen". It is the book we read in german lesson Der Proceß the protagonist is unable to erkennen and this is one of the reasons you can give to explain his execution in the last.
Unable to erkennen... unable to erkennen (~ see) your own flaws... unable to see Jesus... unable to see the reality.
This leads us to the topic of being blind. Which just makes me think about ecclesiastes (prediger). you might be as wise as Salomo but there are still things hidden from you.
But that would be another topic. I want to remain by the things you should see and you need to see.
But at least maybe we can say: Yes there is much we do not see (though we should) but at least we should be able to see Jesus like Peter and not like the Pharisees who shut their eyes.
