PLACING THE LAMPS
1 The Lord said to Moses,
2 “Give Aaron the following instructions: When you set up the seven lamps in the lampstand, place them so their light shines forward in front of the lampstand.”
3 So Aaron did this. He set up the seven lamps so they reflected their light forward, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
4 The entire lampstand, from its base to its decorative blossoms, was made of beaten gold. It was built according to the exact design the Lord had shown Moses.
JOHN 7:25-31
IS HE THE MESSIAH?
25 Some of the people who lived in Jerusalem started to ask each other, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?
26 But here he is, speaking in public, and they say nothing to him. Could our leaders possibly believe that he is the Messiah?
27 But how could he be? For we know where this man comes from. When the Messiah comes, he will simply appear; no one will know where he comes from.”
28 While Jesus was teaching in the Temple, he called out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I come from. But I’m not here on my own. The one who sent me is true, and you don’t know him.
29 But I know him because I come from him, and he sent me to you.”
30 Then the leaders tried to arrest him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his time had not yet come.
31 Many among the crowds at the Temple believed in him. “After all,” they said, “would you expect the Messiah to do more miraculous signs than this man has done?”
