Jesus and His Brothers
After this, Jesus traveled around Galilee. He wanted to stay out of Judea, where the Jewish leaders were plotting his death.
After this, Jesus traveled around Galilee. He wanted to stay out of Judea, where the Jewish leaders were plotting his death.
Jesus Teaches at the Feast
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
But soon it was time for the Jewish Festival of Shelters,
Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.
and Jesus’ brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, where your followers can see your miracles!
His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
You can’t become famous if you hide like this! If you can do such wonderful things, show yourself to the world!”
For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
Jesus replied, “Now is not the right time for me to go, but you can go anytime.
Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
The world can’t hate you, but it does hate me because I accuse it of doing evil.
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.
After saying these things, Jesus remained in Galilee.
When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
Jesus Teaches Openly at the Temple
But after his brothers left for the festival, Jesus also went, though secretly, staying out of public view.
But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
The Jewish leaders tried to find him at the festival and kept asking if anyone had seen him.
Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
There was a lot of grumbling about him among the crowds. Some argued, “He’s a good man,” but others said, “He’s nothing but a fraud who deceives the people.”
And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
But no one had the courage to speak favorably about him in public, for they were afraid of getting in trouble with the Jewish leaders.
Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
Then, midway through the festival, Jesus went up to the Temple and began to teach.
Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
So Jesus told them, “My message is not my own; it comes from God who sent me.
Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
Anyone who wants to do the will of God will know whether my teaching is from God or is merely my own.
If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
Those who speak for themselves want glory only for themselves, but a person who seeks to honor the one who sent him speaks truth, not lies.
He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
Moses gave you the law, but none of you obeys it! In fact, you are trying to kill me.”
Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
The crowd replied, “You’re demon possessed! Who’s trying to kill you?”
The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
Jesus replied, “I did one miracle on the Sabbath, and you were amazed.
Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
But you work on the Sabbath, too, when you obey Moses’ law of circumcision. (Actually, this tradition of circumcision began with the patriarchs, long before the law of Moses.)
Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
For if the correct time for circumcising your son falls on the Sabbath, you go ahead and do it so as not to break the law of Moses. So why should you be angry with me for healing a man on the Sabbath?
If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
Look beneath the surface so you can judge correctly.”
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Is Jesus the Messiah?
Some of the people who lived in Jerusalem started to ask each other, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?
Is Jesus the Messiah?
Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
But here he is, speaking in public, and they say nothing to him. Could our leaders possibly believe that he is the Messiah?
But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
But how could he be? For we know where this man comes from. When the Messiah comes, he will simply appear; no one will know where he comes from.”
Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
While Jesus was teaching in the Temple, he called out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I come from. But I’m not here on my own. The one who sent me is true, and you don’t know him.
Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
But I know him because I come from him, and he sent me to you.”
But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
Many among the crowds at the Temple believed in him. “After all,” they said, “would you expect the Messiah to do more miraculous signs than this man has done?”
And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
When the Pharisees heard that the crowds were whispering such things, they and the leading priests sent Temple guards to arrest Jesus.
The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
But Jesus told them, “I will be with you only a little longer. Then I will return to the one who sent me.
Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
You will search for me but not find me. And you cannot go where I am going.”
Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
What does he mean when he says, ‘You will search for me but not find me,’ and ‘You cannot go where I am going’?”
What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
Jesus Promises Living Water
On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me!
Living Water
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
Division of People over Jesus
Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
Others said, “He is the Messiah.” Still others said, “But he can’t be! Will the Messiah come from Galilee?
Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
Some even wanted him arrested, but no one laid a hand on him.
And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
When the Temple guards returned without having arrested Jesus, the leading priests and Pharisees demanded, “Why didn’t you bring him in?”
Unbelief of the Jewish Leaders
Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
“We have never heard anyone speak like this!” the guards responded.
The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
“Have you been led astray, too?” the Pharisees mocked.
Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
“Is there a single one of us rulers or Pharisees who believes in him?
Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
This foolish crowd follows him, but they are ignorant of the law. God’s curse is on them!”
But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
Then Nicodemus, the leader who had met with Jesus earlier, spoke up.
Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
“Is it legal to convict a man before he is given a hearing?” he asked.
Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
