Today's Reading - May 12, 2010

1 Samuel 12:1-13:23
John 7:1-30
Psalm 108:1-13
Proverbs 15:4


Question of the day: In John 7:8, why would Jesus say that he was not going, and then go anyway. Wasn't that a lie?

If you go back to the original Greek in which John wrote, the timing of the writing was not as sequential as the English translation makes it sound. Jesus was not trying to deceive his brothers, only to let them know that he was not yet going to go to the feast.
