His audience tells him he is crazy for saying someone is trying to kill him.
John 7:21 I have done one work, and ye all are puzzled.

The verb translated as "wonder/are amazed" also means "to wonder about" in the sense of "puzzling" over something. Given the context here, the "puzzle over" seems to fit best. However, there is context that these Gospel writer does not provide because he doesn't describe the "one work" Jesus mentions here. The verb translated as "wonder/are amazed" was used early in describing the crowd's reaction to his being able to teach without having studied. However, later in this chapter, Jesus talks about making a man whole on the Sabbath, something not mentioned before.
