Rooted in The Word - John 5-6

Chapter 5 presents John's first record of Jesus directly confronting His enemies.
John chapter 6 packs several crucial moments into one narrative. The passage states that the events occur "after" the narrative of chapter 5, which turns out to be several months later.
Chapters 7 and 8 represent the beginning of the end of Jesus' public ministry. In these passages, He will openly challenge the Jewish leaders' spiritual errors and declare His own role in the salvation of mankind. In response, the religious officials' approach to Jesus will turn further towards a plot for murder.
