Great Lines

I'm reading John's gospel right now. One of the things I enjoy about the gospel is some of the great lines. Here are a couple:

John 7
Jesus is talking to his brothers: "6 Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always here. 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil. "
If you are one of the brothers of Jesus, what do you say to this line? If we didn't know better the words almost sound like Joseph telling his brothers that they will bow down to him one day.

John 8
48 The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
Do they really expect Jesus to say "yes"?
