Verse
John - ch 7 v 1 - 20
- After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn't walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
- Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
- His brothers therefore said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
- For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world."
- For even his brothers didn't believe in him.
- Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
- The world can't hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
- You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled."
- Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
- But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
- The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?"
- There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so, but he leads the multitude astray."
- Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
- But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
- The Jews therefore marveled, saying, "How does this man know letters, having never been educated?"
- Jesus therefore answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
- If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.
- He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
- Didn't Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?"
- The multitude answered, "You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?"
