Gospel : John 7:40-53

40 Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly the prophet."

41 Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?

42 Hasn't the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

43 So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.

44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why didn't you bring him?"

46 The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man!"

47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You aren't also led astray, are you?

Jeremiah 11:18-20

18 The LORD gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it: then you showed me their doings.

19 But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter; and I didn't know that they had devised devices against me, saying,
"Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,
and let us cut him off from the land of the living,
that his name may be no more remembered."

20 But, the LORD of Armies, who judges righteously,
who tests the heart and the mind,
I shall see your vengeance on them;
for to you have I revealed my cause.
