“Now watch, "These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him." So it was not every Judean that could have you put out of the synagogue. It was the Pharisees. It was a ruling elite.”

— Pastor John Weaver
