The discourse at a feast of tabernacles is a long interlude of controversy and heightening bitterness of the Jews toward Jesus, peculiar to this gospel. Transitions are abrupt; themes are involved and follow no logical sequence; a general impression is given of confusion, with controversies unresolved, actions frustrated, language increasingly abusive. The overriding theme is that the “Jews sought to kill him”.
