Jesus’ Brothers Disbelieve

7After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for He did not want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him.G2532G3326G5023G2424G4043G1722G1056G1063G2309G3756G4043G1722G2449G3754G2453G2212G615G8462Now the Jews' Feast of Tabernacles was at hand.G1161G2453G1859G4634G2258G14513His brothers therefore said to Him, "Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing.G846G80G3767G2036G4314G846G3327G1782G2532G5217G1519G2449G2443G4675G3101G2532G2334G2041G3739G4675G41604"For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world."G1063G3762G4160G5100G1722G2927G2532G846G2212G1511G1722G3954G1487G4160G5023G5319G4572G28895For even His brothers did not believe in Him.G1063G3761G4100G846G80G4100G1519G8466Then Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.G3767G2424G3004G846G1699G2540G3918G3768G3918G1161G5212G2540G2076G3842G20927"The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil.G2889G3756G1410G3404G5209G1161G1691G3404G3754G1473G3140G4012G846G3754G2041G846G2076G41908"You go up to this feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, for My time has not yet fully come."G305G5210G305G1519G5026G1859G1473G305G3768G305G3768G1519G5026G1859G3754G1699G2540G4137G3768G41379When He had said these things to them, He remained in Galilee.G1161G2036G5023G846G3306G1722G1056

The Heavenly Scholar

10But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.G1161G5613G846G80G305G5119G305G846G2532G305G1519G1859G3756G5320G235G5613G1722G292711Then the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, "Where is He?"G3767G2453G2212G846G1722G1859G2532G3004G4226G2076G156512And there was much complaining among the people concerning Him. Some said, "He is good"; others said, "No, on the contrary, He deceives the people."G2532G2258G4183G1112G1722G3793G4012G846G3303G3004G3754G2076G18G1161G243G3004G3756G235G4105G379313However, no one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Jews.G3305G3762G2980G3954G4012G846G1223G5401G245314Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught.G2235G1161G3322G1859G2424G305G1519G2411G2532G132115And the Jews marveled, saying, "How does this Man know letters, having never studied?"G2532G2453G2296G3004G4459G1492G3778G1121G3129G3361G312916Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.G2424G611G846G2532G2036G1699G1322G2076G3756G1699G235G3992G316517"If anyone wants to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.G1437G5100G2309G4160G846G2307G1097G4012G1322G4220G2076G1537G2316G2228G1473G2980G575G168318"He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.G2980G575G1438G2212G2398G1391G1161G2212G1391G3992G846G3778G2076G227G2532G3756G93G2076G1722G84619"Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?"G1325G3756G3475G1325G5213G3551G2532G3762G1537G5216G4160G3551G5101G2212G615G316520The people answered and said, "You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?"G3793G611G2532G2036G2192G1140G5101G2212G615G457121Jesus answered and said to them, "I did one work, and you all marvel.G2424G611G2532G2036G846G4160G1520G2041G2532G2296G3956G229622"Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.G3475G1223G5124G1325G5213G4061G3756G3754G2076G1537G3475G235G1537G3962G2532G4059G1722G4521G4059G44423"If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?G1487G444G1722G4521G2983G4061G3363G3551G3475G3089G3363G3089G5520G1698G3754G4160G444G3650G5199G1722G452124"Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."G2919G3361G2596G3799G235G2919G1342G2920

Could This Be the Christ?

25Now some of them from Jerusalem said, "Is this not He whom they seek to kill?G3767G3004G5100G1537G2415G2076G3756G3778G3739G2212G61526"But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Christ?G2532G2396G2980G3954G2532G3004G3762G846G1097G758G1097G3379G230G3754G3778G2076G230G554727"However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from."G235G1492G5126G4159G2076G1161G3752G5547G2064G3762G1097G4159G207628Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, "You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.G3767G2896G2424G1722G2411G1321G2532G3004G2504G1492G2532G1492G4159G1510G2532G2064G3756G2064G575G1683G235G3992G3165G2076G228G3739G5210G1492G375629"But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me."G1161G1473G1492G846G3754G1510G3844G846G2548G649G316530Therefore they sought to take Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.G3767G2212G4084G846G2532G3762G1911G5495G1909G846G3754G846G5610G2064G3768G206431And many of the people believed in Him, and said, "When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?"G1161G4183G1537G3793G4100G1519G846G2532G3004G3754G3752G5547G2064G3385G4160G4119G4592G5130G3739G3778G4160

Jesus and the Religious Leaders

32The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him.G5330G191G3793G1111G5023G4012G846G2532G5330G2532G749G649G5257G2443G4084G84633Then Jesus said to them, "I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I go to Him who sent Me.G3767G2036G2424G846G2089G3398G5550G1510G3326G5216G2532G5217G4314G3992G316534"You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come."G2212G3165G2532G2147G3756G2147G2532G3699G1473G1510G5210G3756G1410G206435Then the Jews said among themselves, "Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?G3767G2036G2453G4314G1438G4226G3195G3778G4198G3754G2249G2147G3756G2147G846G3361G3195G4198G1519G1290G1672G2532G1321G167236"What is this thing that He said, 'You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come'?"G5101G3056G2076G3778G3739G2036G2212G3165G2532G2147G3756G2147G2532G3699G1473G1510G5210G3756G1410G2064

The Promise of the Holy Spirit

37On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.G1161G1722G2078G2250G3173G1859G2424G2476G2532G2896G3004G1437G5100G1372G2064G4314G3165G2532G409538"He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."G4100G1519G1691G2531G1124G2036G1537G846G2836G4482G4215G2198G520439But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.G1161G5124G2036G4012G4151G3739G4100G1519G846G3195G2983G1063G40G4151G2258G3768G3754G2424G1392G3764G1392

Who Is He?

40Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, "Truly this is the Prophet."G4183G1537G3793G3767G191G3056G3004G230G3778G2076G439641Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "Will the Christ come out of Galilee?G243G3004G3778G2076G5547G1161G243G3004G1063G3361G5547G2064G1537G105642"Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?"G3780G1124G2036G3754G5547G2064G1537G4690G1138G2532G575G2968G965G3699G1138G225843So there was a division among the people because of Him.G3767G1096G4978G1722G3793G1223G84644Now some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.G1161G5100G1537G846G2309G4084G846G235G3762G1911G5495G1909G846

Rejected by the Authorities

45Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why have you not brought Him?"G3767G2064G5257G4314G749G2532G5330G2532G1565G2036G846G1302G71G3756G71G84646The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this Man!"G5257G611G3763G444G3779G2980G5613G3778G44447Then the Pharisees answered them, "Are you also deceived?G3767G611G846G5330G4105G5210G2532G4105G336148"Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in Him?G3387G1537G758G2228G1537G5330G4100G1519G84649"But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed."G235G3778G3793G3588G1097G3361G3551G1526G194450Nicodemus (he who came to Jesus by night, being one of them) said to them,G3530G3004G4314G846G2064G846G4314G3571G5607G1520G1537G84651"Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?"G2919G2257G3551G2919G3361G444G4386G3362G191G3844G846G2532G1097G5101G416052They answered and said to him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search and look, for no prophet has arisen out of Galilee."G611G2532G2036G846G3361G1488G4771G2532G1537G1056G2045G2532G1492G3754G1537G1056G1453G3756G4396

An Adulteress Faces the Light of the World

53And everyone went to his own house.G2532G1538G4198G1519G846G3624
