John 7

1 After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jewish leaders sought to kill him.NHEB — John 7:1

2 Now the Jewish festival, the Feast of Tabernacles, was near.NHEB — John 7:2

3 So his brothers said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works that you are doing.NHEB — John 7:3

4 For no one does anything in secret when he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world."NHEB — John 7:4

5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.NHEB — John 7:5

6 Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.NHEB — John 7:6

7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.NHEB — John 7:7

8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled."NHEB — John 7:8

9 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.NHEB — John 7:9

10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.NHEB — John 7:10

11 The Jewish leaders therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?"NHEB — John 7:11

12 There was much murmuring among the crowds concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." But others said, "Not so, but he leads the crowd astray."NHEB — John 7:12

13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jewish leaders.NHEB — John 7:13

14 But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.NHEB — John 7:14

15 Then the Jewish leaders were astonished, saying, "How does this man know such writings, having never been educated?"NHEB — John 7:15

16 Jesus therefore answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.NHEB — John 7:16

17 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.NHEB — John 7:17

18 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.NHEB — John 7:18

19 Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you keeps the Law? Why do you seek to kill me?"NHEB — John 7:19

20 The crowd answered, "You have a demon. Who seeks to kill you?"NHEB — John 7:20

21 Jesus answered them, "I did one work, and you are all amazed.NHEB — John 7:21

22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.NHEB — John 7:22

23 If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?NHEB — John 7:23

24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."NHEB — John 7:24

25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Is not this he whom they seek to kill?NHEB — John 7:25

26 Look, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?NHEB — John 7:26

27 However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from."NHEB — John 7:27

28 Jesus therefore called out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you do not know.NHEB — John 7:28

29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me."NHEB — John 7:29

30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.NHEB — John 7:30

31 But many in the crowd believed in him. They said, "When the Christ comes, he won't do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?"NHEB — John 7:31

32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.NHEB — John 7:32

33 Then Jesus said, "I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.NHEB — John 7:33

34 You will seek me, but won't find; and where I am, you cannot come."NHEB — John 7:34

35 The Jewish leaders therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we won't find him? Will he go to the Diaspora among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?NHEB — John 7:35

36 What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me, but won't find; and where I am, you cannot come'?"NHEB — John 7:36

37 Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.NHEB — John 7:37

38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water."NHEB — John 7:38

39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.NHEB — John 7:39

40 Some of the crowd therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly the Prophet."NHEB — John 7:40

41 Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?NHEB — John 7:41

42 Hasn't the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"NHEB — John 7:42

43 So there arose a division in the crowd because of him.NHEB — John 7:43

44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.NHEB — John 7:44

45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"NHEB — John 7:45

46 The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man."NHEB — John 7:46

47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You are not also led astray, are you?NHEB — John 7:47

48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?NHEB — John 7:48

49 But this crowd that does not know the Law is accursed."NHEB — John 7:49

50 Nicodemus (he who came to him before, being one of them) said to them,NHEB — John 7:50

51 "Does our Law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?"NHEB — John 7:51

52 They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet comes from Galilee."NHEB — John 7:52

53 Then everyone went to his own house,NHEB — John 7:53
