"The officers who were sent to Jesus came back with the report that never man spoke as He spoke. But the reason for this was that never man lived as He lived. Had His life been other than it was, He could not have spoken as He did. His words bore with them a convincing power, because they came from a heart pure and holy, full of love and sympathy, benevolence and truth. MH 469.2"
"The officers answered, Never man spake like this man."
EGW directly quotes and expands upon John 7:46, providing an explanation for why Jesus spoke with such authority.
