Never man spake like this man (John 7:46)

The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. (John 7:32)

Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. (John 7:45-46)

How long did these officers have to arrest Jesus? Between these two verses, we read, “In the last day, that great day of the feast...” These men had at least overnight to arrest Him, perhaps multiple days. These officers recognized that Jesus was different from other men. Most assuredly, everyone who heard Him was convinced of that. However, these officers admitted it.

There is no one like Jesus. He is the Godman and His name is higher that all other names. I must hide myself in Him, because there is no Savior like Him.
