We have witnessed how THE WORD works. All hell breaks loose.

Exactly. One other thing I'm struck with in reading through John 8. One of the many sections where Jesus was confronted by the shall we say 'religious magisterium' of His day - the Scribes and Pharisees. Notice their response in v. 6 to Christ's teaching:

"They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground."

Also at the end of v. 13 - they attack him claiming "Your testimony is not true."

Then again in v. 59, "Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him,....."

We stand in some pretty good company I think.
