- Jesus Goes to the Feast of Tabernacles
- 1
- After this, Jesus went around in Galilee,
- purposely staying away from Judea
- because the Jews there were waiting to take his life.
- 2
- But when the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near,
- 3
- Jesus' brothers said to him, "You ought to leave here and go to Judea,
- so that your disciples may see the miracles you do.
- 4
- No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret.
- Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world."
- 5
- For even his own brothers did not believe in him.
- 6
- Therefore Jesus told them, "The right time for me has not yet come;
- for you any time is right.
- 7
- The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that what it does is evil.
- 8
- You go to the Feast. I am not yet going up to this Feast,
- because for me the right time has not yet come."
- 9
- Having said this, he stayed in Galilee.
- 10
- However, after his brothers had left for the Feast,
- he went also, not publicly, but in secret.
- 11
- Now at the Feast the Jews were watching for him and asking, "Where is that man?"
- 12
- Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him.
- Some said, "He is a good man." Others replied, "No, he deceives the people."
- 13
- But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the Jews.
- Jesus Teaches at the Feast
- 14
- Not until halfway through the Feast did Jesus go up
- to the temple courts and begin to teach.
- 15
- The Jews were amazed and asked,
- "How did this man get such learning without having studied?"
- 16
- Jesus answered, "My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me.
- 17
- If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out
- whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.
- 18
- He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself,
- but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth;
- there is nothing false about him.
- 19
- Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law.
- Why are you trying to kill me?"
- 20
- "You are demon-possessed," the crowd answered. "Who is trying to kill you?"
- 21
- Jesus said to them, "I did one miracle, and you are all astonished.
- 22
- Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision
- (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs),
- you circumcise a child on the Sabbath.
- 23
- Now if a child can be circumcised on the Sabbath
- so that the law of Moses may not be broken,
- why are you angry with me for healing the whole man on the Sabbath?
- 24
- Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment."
- Is Jesus the Christ?
- 25
- At that point some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask,
- "Isn't this the man they are trying to kill?
- 26
- Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him.
- Have the authorities really concluded that he is the Christ?
- 27
- But we know where this man is from;
- when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from."
- 28
- Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out,
- "Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from.
- I am not here on my own, but he who sent me is true. You do not know him,
- 29
- but I know him because I am from him and he sent me."
- 30
- At this they tried to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him,
- because his time had not yet come.
- 31
- Still, many in the crowd put their faith in him. They said,
- "When the Christ comes, will he do more miraculous signs than this man?"
- 32
- The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him.
- Then the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him.
- 33
- Jesus said, "I am with you for only a short time,
- and then I go to the one who sent me.
- 34
- You will look for me, but you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come."
- 35
- The Jews said to one another, "Where does this man intend to go
- that we cannot find him? Will he go where our people live scattered
- among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
- 36
- What did he mean when he said, `You will look for me,
- but you will not find me,' and `Where I am, you cannot come'?"
- 37
- 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.
- 38
- Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said,
- streams of living water will flow from within him."
- 39
- By this he meant the Spirit, whom those
- who believed in him were later to receive.
- Up to that time the Spirit had not been given,
- since Jesus had not yet been glorified.
- 40
- On hearing his words, some of the people said,
- "Surely this man is the Prophet."
- 41
- Others said, "He is the Christ." Still others asked,
- "How can the Christ come from Galilee?
- 42
- Does not the Scripture say that the Christ will come from David's family
- and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?"
- 43
- Thus the people were divided because of Jesus.
- 44
- Some wanted to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.
- Unbelief of the Jewish Leaders
- 45
- Finally the temple guards went back to the chief priests and Pharisees,
- who asked them, "Why didn't you bring him in?"
- 46
- "No one ever spoke the way this man does," the guards declared.
- 47
- "You mean he has deceived you also?" the Pharisees retorted.
- 48
- "Has any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?
- 49
- No! But this mob that knows nothing of the law--there is a curse on them."
- 50
- Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier
- and who was one of their own number, asked,
- 51
- "Does our law condemn anyone
- without first hearing him to find out what he is doing?"
- 52
- They replied, "Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it,
- and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee."
- 53
- Then each went to his own home.
- [The earliest and most reliable manuscripts and
- other ancient witnesses do not have John 7:53-8:11]
