The Harmony of the Gospels – Week 28 – Jesus Teaches at the Feast of Tabernacles
Jesus travels quietly to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles because the religious leaders are seeking to kill Him, while His own brothers mock Him and urge Him to go publicly. Midway through the feast, He begins teaching in the temple with such authority that the crowds are astonished, wondering how someone with no formal rabbinic training could possess such wisdom. Jesus explains that His teaching comes from the Father and that anyone who genuinely desires to do God’s will can recognize the truth—showing that spiritual understanding depends not on education, but on an honest and willing heart.
