Session 4: Giving of Living Water, God’s Eternal Son, Light of the Wor ld 87

4. What is an ordinary, modern, unlearned in koine Greek disciple to make of these kinds of controversies and issues as it relates to the integrity of the Word of God in some questioned matter?

B. Jesus the Teacher, John 8.1-2

1. One of Jesus’ favorite places: the Mount of Olives, a place where Jesus would spend the night if he was in Jerusalem, (cf. John 18.1-2; Luke 22.39; Mark 11.1, 11)

2. Jesus, like many other teachers of his day, often taught in the temple courts, cf. 7.14.

3. As a teacher, Jesus interacted much with the crowds of Israel.

a. Matt. 5.1-2a – Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. [2] And he opened his mouth and taught them.

b. Matt. 26.55 – At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me.”

c. Luke 5.3 – Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat.

C. The scribes and Pharisees “haul a hapless woman” into the presence of Jesus, 8.3.
