The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly."People are not known for being very patient. In fact, we're usually very impatient, and the longer we have to wait the more we get ticked. The Jews had been waiting centuries for the Christ to come, and were on a shorter fuse than they would've preferred.
However, I can't feel too superior to them. I'm probably even less patient, on average, and I start to get testy too when I've been waiting longer than I think I should. This is a good lesson in both patience and discernment; be alert and watching, but also understand that God's timing is not our own.
