John/Exodus
Exodus 20:1-21
1And God spake all these words, saying,
(“The Ten Commandments”)
2I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God,


visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

6And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me,

and keep my commandments.

7Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in (uselessness) vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in (uselessness) vain.

8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

12Honour

thy father and thy mother:

that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

14Thou shalt not commit adultery.15Thou shalt not steal. 16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

18And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. 19And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. 20And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
21And the people stood afar off,

God speaks from the mountain like never before so everyone can hear.

The people “walk away” and want Moses to speak to them and not God. Moses tries to convince them to stay and say yes to God but they won’t.

John 7:46–53 John 8:1
46The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. 47Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? 48Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? 49But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. 50Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) 51Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? 52They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. 53And every man went unto his own house.

John 8:1
1Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

The officers tell the Jewish leaders that no man has every spoken the way that Jesus has.

Nicodemus points the leaders back to the law given to Moses on the Mountain. The leader rebuke Nicodemus by pointing him to Galilee instead of Moses.

Everyone walked away and went to his own house and Jesus goes up the mountain.

God/Jesus speak like no one has ever heard before.

Nicodemus is like Moses, he tries to convince the people to trust the one who spoke.

In both stories the people walk away and a mountain is included in each story.

Moses story: When God speaks from the mountain, the people walk away.
Jesus story: After the people walk way, Jesus goes up to the mountain.
