7:1 After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee; for He did not want to walk in Judea, because the Judeans were seeking to kill Him. 9 It was, at that time, near to the feast of the Judeans, the Feast of Tabernacles. 3 For that reason, His brothers said to Him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, so that your disciples will see Your works which You are doing. 4 For no one does anything in secret who himself seeks to be bold in public speaking. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.” 5 Not even His brothers believed into Him. 6 Jesus then said to them, “My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready. • 7 The world is not able to hate you. It hates Me, however, because I testify concerning it, that its works are evil. 8 You go on up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, for My time is not yet complete. 9 Having said these things, He then remained in Galilee. • 10 When His brothers had gone up to the feast, however, Jesus also went up, not visibly, but in secret. 11 Therefore, the Judeans sought Him at the feast and said, “Where is He?” 12 And there was much muttering about Him among the crowds. Some indeed said, “He is good.” Others said, “No; rather, He deceives the common people.” 13 No one, however, spoke publicly concerning Him, because of the fear of the Judeans. 14 Now, during the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught. 15 The Judeans marveled, saying, “How does this one who has not studied know what is written?” 16 Then Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not of Myself, but of the One who sent Me. • 17 If anyone wants to do His desire, He will know concerning the teaching, whether it is out from God or if I speak from Myself. 18 The one who speaks from himself, seeks his own glory, but the One who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and injustice is not inside of Him. 19 Has not Moses given you the law, and yet not one among you does the law? Why do you seek to kill Me? 20 The crowd answered, “You possess a demon. Who seeks to kill You?” 21 Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel. 22 Yet Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man. 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses might not be broken, why are you angry with Me because I made a man whole and sound on the Sabbath. • 24 Do not judge according to the details of outward appearance, but judge the judgment of just approval.” 25 Some of those of Jerusalem said, therefore, “Is this not He whom they seek to kill? 26 Look, He speaks boldly in public, and they say nothing to Him, not ever. Truly, have those who rule recognized that this is the Christ? 27 But we know this one, from where He is. The Christ, on the other hand, whenever He might come, no one knows from where He is. 28 Jesus, who was teaching in the temple, shouted out, therefore, saying, “You know Me, and you know from where I am; and I have not come of Myself, but the One who sent Me is true, whom you do not know. 29 But I know Him, because I am in His presence, and He sent Me.” 30 They sought, then, to take Him, but no one laid hands upon Him, because His hour had not yet come. 31 Many of the crowd, moreover, believed into Him, and said, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than this Man has done?” 32 The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about Him and sent the chief priests and the officers of the Pharisees to seize Him. 33 Jesus said therefore, “Yet a little time, I am with you, and I am led away to the One who sent Me. 34 You will seek Me and will not find Me; and where I am, you are not able to come.” 35 The Judeans then said among themselves, “Where is He about to go that we will not find Him? Is He about to go to the dispersion among the Greeks, to teach the Greeks? 36 What is this word that He said, ‘You will seek me and will not find me; and where I am you are not able to come?’” • 37 Now, on the last day, the great day of the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus stood [in the moment of complete silence] and shouted loudly, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come towards Me and drink. • 38 The one who believes into Me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Rivers of living water will overflow out from his belly [his womb, his innermost being]” (Isaiah 44:3) [s)[t] • 39 Now He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those having believed into Him were about to receive; indeed, the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. 40 Some from the crowd, having heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.” 41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” Others, however, said, “Indeed, the Christ does not come out from Galilee. 42 Does not the Scripture say, that the Christ comes out from the sperm of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?” (Micah 5:2). 43 And so a division happened in the crowd because of Him. 44 More than that, some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid hands upon Him. 45 The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees who said to them, “Why did you not bring Him?” 46 The officers answered, “No man has ever spoken like this Man speaks.” 47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, “Have you not also been deceived? 48 Has anyone of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed into Him? 48 But this mob of people, who do not know the law, are accursed.” 50 Nicodemus, the one who had formerly come to Jesus, being one of them, said to them, 51 “Does our law judge a man, if it has not first heard from him and knows what he does?” 52 They answered him, “Are you not also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet is raised up out from Galilee.” 53 And each went to his own home, 8:1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
