The religious leaders' first statement: "We know that God has spoken to Moses." This testimony from the religious leaders is true, good, and beautiful in itself, but it is rendered insufficient due to their rejection of Jesus. As Jesus had previously said to the religious leaders of His day: "If you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote of me" (John 5:46 ESV). And Jesus had already declared His origin: "I have come down from Heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of Him who sent Me" (John 6:38 ESV).
