John 7:1-24 shows why people who knew the Scriptures well still rejected Jesus. His brothers urged him to show his works at the Feast of Booths and win the world's notice, because they did not believe in him.

Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

In Matthew 25:1–13, our Lord calls us to watchfulness, readiness, and persevering faith.
