V65 People have to let go of Mosaic law to follow Jesus. Many were not willing to do that.
The pull of tradition and Jewish society was strong. Following Jesus was to become a Christian no longer accepted by Jewish society. Plus calling Jesus the Son of God was punishable by death according to Jewish law. People were afraid to follow truth for fear of reprisal by a religion not founded in truth.
