The Unbelief of Jesus’ Brothers

7After this, Jesus traveled in Galilee, since He did not want to travel in Judea because the Jews were trying to kill Him.G2532G3326G5023G2424G4043G1722G1056G1063G2309G3756G4043G1722G2449G3754G2453G2212G615G846 2The Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near,G1161G2453G1859G4634G2258G1451 3so His brothers said to Him, "Leave here and go to Judea so Your disciples can see Your works that You are doing.G846G80G3767G2036G4314G846G3327G1782G2532G5217G1519G2449G2443G4675G3101G2532G2334G2041G3739G4675G4160 4For no one does anything in secret while he's seeking public recognition. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world."G1063G3762G4160G5100G1722G2927G2532G846G2212G1511G1722G3954G1487G4160G5023G5319G4572G2889 5(For not even His brothers believed in Him.)G1063G3761G4100G846G80G4100G1519G846 6Jesus told them, "My time has not yet arrived, but your time is always at hand.G3767G2424G3004G846G1699G2540G3918G3768G3918G1161G5212G2540G2076G3842G2092 7The world cannot hate you, but it does hate Me because I testify about it— that its deeds are evil.G2889G3756G1410G3404G5209G1161G1691G3404G3754G1473G3140G4012G846G3754G2041G846G2076G4190 8Go up to the festival yourselves. I'm not going up to the festival yet, because My time has not yet fully come."G305G5210G305G1519G5026G1859G1473G305G3768G305G3768G1519G5026G1859G3754G1699G2540G4137G3768G4137 9After He had said these things, He stayed in Galilee.G1161G2036G5023G846G3306G1722G1056

Jesus at the Festival of Tabernacles

10After His brothers had gone up to the festival, then He also went up, not openly but secretly.G1161G5613G846G80G305G5119G305G846G2532G305G1519G1859G3756G5320G235G5613G1722G2927 11The Jews were looking for Him at the festival and saying, "Where is He?"G3767G2453G2212G846G1722G1859G2532G3004G4226G2076G1565 12And there was a lot of discussion about Him among the crowds. Some were saying, "He's a good man." Others were saying, "No, on the contrary, He's deceiving the people."G2532G2258G4183G1112G1722G3793G4012G846G3303G3004G3754G2076G18G1161G243G3004G3756G235G4105G3793 13Still, nobody was talking publicly about Him because they feared the Jews.G3305G3762G2980G3954G4012G846G1223G5401G2453 14When the festival was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple complex and began to teach.G2235G1161G3322G1859G2424G305G1519G2411G2532G1321 15Then the Jews were amazed and said, "How does He know the Scriptures, since He hasn't been trained?"G2532G2453G2296G3004G4459G1492G3778G1121G3129G3361G3129 16Jesus answered them, "My teaching isn't Mine but is from the One who sent Me.G2424G611G846G2532G2036G1699G1322G2076G3756G1699G235G3992G3165 17If anyone wants to do His will, he will understand whether the teaching is from God or if I am speaking on My own.G1437G5100G2309G4160G846G2307G1097G4012G1322G4220G2076G1537G2316G2228G1473G2980G575G1683 18The one who speaks for himself seeks his own glory. But He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.G2980G575G1438G2212G2398G1391G1161G2212G1391G3992G846G3778G2076G227G2532G3756G93G2076G1722G846 19Didn't Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law! Why do you want to kill Me?"G1325G3756G3475G1325G5213G3551G2532G3762G1537G5216G4160G3551G5101G2212G615G3165 20"You have a demon!" the crowd responded. "Who wants to kill You?"G3793G611G2532G2036G2192G1140G5101G2212G615G4571 21"I did one work, and you are all amazed," Jesus answered.G2424G611G2532G2036G846G4160G1520G2041G2532G2296G3956G2296 22"Consider this: Moses has given you circumcision— not that it comes from Moses but from the fathers— and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.G3475G1223G5124G1325G5213G4061G3756G3754G2076G1537G3475G235G1537G3962G2532G4059G1722G4521G4059G444 23If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses won't be broken, are you angry at Me because I made a man entirely well on the Sabbath?G1487G444G1722G4521G2983G4061G3363G3551G3475G3089G3363G3089G5520G1698G3754G4160G444G3650G5199G1722G4521 24Stop judging according to outward appearances; rather judge according to righteous judgment."G2919G3361G2596G3799G235G2919G1342G2920

The Identity of the Messiah

25Some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, "Isn't this the man they want to kill?G3767G3004G5100G1537G2415G2076G3756G3778G3739G2212G615 26Yet, look! He's speaking publicly and they're saying nothing to Him. Can it be true that the authorities know He is the Messiah?G2532G2396G2980G3954G2532G3004G3762G846G1097G758G1097G3379G230G3754G3778G2076G230G5547 27But we know where this man is from. When the Messiah comes, nobody will know where He is from."G235G1492G5126G4159G2076G1161G3752G5547G2064G3762G1097G4159G2076 28As He was teaching in the temple complex, Jesus cried out, "You know Me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on My own, but the One who sent Me is true. You don't know Him;G3767G2896G2424G1722G2411G1321G2532G3004G2504G1492G2532G1492G4159G1510G2532G2064G3756G2064G575G1683G235G3992G3165G2076G228G3739G5210G1492G3756 29I know Him because I am from Him, and He sent Me."G1161G1473G1492G846G3754G1510G3844G846G2548G649G3165 30Then they tried to seize Him. Yet no one laid a hand on Him because His hour had not yet come.G3767G2212G4084G846G2532G3762G1911G5495G1909G846G3754G846G5610G2064G3768G2064 31However, many from the crowd believed in Him and said, "When the Messiah comes, He won't perform more signs than this man has done, will He?"G1161G4183G1537G3793G4100G1519G846G2532G3004G3754G3752G5547G2064G3385G4160G4119G4592G5130G3739G3778G4160 32The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about Him, so the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple police to arrest Him.G5330G191G3793G1111G5023G4012G846G2532G5330G2532G749G649G5257G2443G4084G846 33Then Jesus said, "I am only with you for a short time. Then I'm going to the One who sent Me.G3767G2036G2424G846G2089G3398G5550G1510G3326G5216G2532G5217G4314G3992G3165 34You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come."G2212G3165G2532G2147G3756G2147G2532G3699G1473G1510G5210G3756G1410G2064 35Then the Jews said to one another, "Where does He intend to go so we won't find Him? He doesn't intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, does He?G3767G2036G2453G4314G1438G4226G3195G3778G4198G3754G2249G2147G3756G2147G846G3361G3195G4198G1519G1290G1672G2532G1321G1672 36What is this remark He made: 'You will look for Me, and you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come'?"G5101G3056G2076G3778G3739G2036G2212G3165G2532G2147G3756G2147G2532G3699G1473G1510G5210G3756G1410G2064

The Promise of the Spirit

37On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus stood up and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, he should come to Me and drink!G1161G1722G2078G2250G3173G1859G2424G2476G2532G2896G3004G1437G5100G1372G2064G4314G3165G2532G4095 38The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him."G4100G1519G1691G2531G1124G2036G1537G846G2836G4482G4215G2198G5204 39He said this about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were going to receive, for the Spirit had not yet been received, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.G1161G5124G2036G4012G4151G3739G4100G1519G846G3195G2983G1063G40G4151G2258G3768G3754G2424G1392G3764G1392

The People Are Divided over Jesus

40When some from the crowd heard these words, they said, "This really is the Prophet!"G4183G1537G3793G3767G191G3056G3004G230G3778G2076G4396 41Others said, "This is the Messiah!" But some said, "Surely the Messiah doesn't come from Galilee, does He?G243G3004G3778G2076G5547G1161G243G3004G1063G3361G5547G2064G1537G1056 42Doesn't the Scripture say that the Messiah comes from David's offspring and from the town of Bethlehem, where David once lived?"G3780G1124G2036G3754G5547G2064G1537G4690G1138G2532G575G2968G965G3699G1138G2258 43So a division occurred among the crowd because of Him.G3767G1096G4978G1722G3793G1223G846 44Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him.G1161G5100G1537G846G2309G4084G846G235G3762G1911G5495G1909G846

Debate over Jesus’ Claims

45Then the temple police came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, "Why haven't you brought Him?"G3767G2064G5257G4314G749G2532G5330G2532G1565G2036G846G1302G71G3756G71G846 46The police answered, "No man ever spoke like this!"G5257G611G3763G444G3779G2980G5613G3778G444 47Then the Pharisees responded to them: "Are you fooled too?G3767G611G846G5330G4105G5210G2532G4105G3361 48Have any of the rulers believed in Him? Or any of the Pharisees?G3387G1537G758G2228G1537G5330G4100G1519G846 49But this crowd, which doesn't know the law, is accursed!"G235G3778G3793G3588G1097G3361G3551G1526G1944 50Nicodemus— the one who came to Him previously, being one of them— said to them,G3530G3004G4314G846G2064G846G4314G3571G5607G1520G1537G846 51"Our law doesn't judge a man before it hears from him and knows what he's doing, does it?"G2919G2257G3551G2919G3361G444G4386G3362G191G3844G846G2532G1097G5101G4160 52"You aren't from Galilee too, are you?" they replied. "Investigate and you will see that no prophet arises from Galilee."G611G2532G2036G846G3361G1488G4771G2532G1537G1056G2045G2532G1492G3754G1537G1056G1453G3756G4396 53[[So each one went to his house.G2532G1538G4198G1519G846G3624
