Many times across the Gospels we see unbelieving Jews pick up rocks to stone Jesus for what they perceived as blasphemy under the Law. (Leviticus 24:16) But every time, Jesus walked through the crowd and went on His way unscathed. John doesn’t give us details, but makes it plain that nothing could happen to Jesus until God’s appointed hour. (John 7:30,44 and Luke 4:30) Even at the wedding in Cana, (John 2:4) Jesus asserted to His mother that it was His Father that determined the timetable of His earthly Ministry…not Him, not her, nor another other human being. Thus, all plots against Jesus’ life would never succeed until God’s designated time…His plan was never rushed or thwarted…it was perfectly timed by His Divine and sovereign agenda.
