John 7:46

Now it happened that when Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were astonished at His teaching;

But Peter was following Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and entered in, and sat down with the officers to see the outcome.

and they were amazed at His teaching, for His message was with authority.

The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about Him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to seize Him.

His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.
