John 7

Jesus at the Feast of Booths

1 After this Jesus went about in Galilee. He would not go about in Judea, because p the Jews 1 were seeking to kill him. 2 Now q the Jews' Feast of r Booths was at hand. 3 s So his brothers 2 said to him, "Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing. 4 For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, t show yourself to the world." 5 u For not even v his brothers believed in him. 6 Jesus said to them, w "My time has not yet come, but your time is always here. 7 The world cannot hate you, but x it hates me because I testify about it that y its works are evil. 8 You go up to the feast. I am not 3 going up to this feast, for z my time has not yet fully come." 9 After saying this, he remained in Galilee.

10 But after a his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private. 11 b The Jews c were looking for him at the feast, and saying, "Where is he?" 12 And there was much d muttering about him among the people. e While some said, "He is a good man," others said, "No, f he is leading the people astray." 13 Yet g for fear of the Jews no one spoke openly of him.

14 About the middle of the feast Jesus went up h into the temple and began teaching. 15 The Jews therefore i marveled, saying, "How is it that this man has learning, 4 when he has never studied?" 16 So Jesus answered them, j "My teaching is not mine, but his k who sent me. 17 l If anyone's will is to do God's 5 will, m he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I n am speaking on my own authority. 18 The one who speaks on his own authority o seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood. 19 p Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. q Why do you seek to kill me?" 20 The crowd answered, r "You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?" 21 Jesus answered them, "I did s one work, and you all marvel at it. 22 t Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but u from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, v are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well? 24 w Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment."

Can This Be the Christ?

25 Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, "Is not this the man whom x they seek to kill? 26 And here he is, y speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that z the authorities really know that this is the Christ? 27 But a we know b where this man comes from, and when the Christ appears, c no one will know where he comes from." 28 So Jesus proclaimed, d as he taught in the temple, a "You know me, and you know where I come from? But e I have not come of my own accord. f He who sent me is true, g and him you do not know. 29 h I know him, for I come i from him, and j he sent me." 30 k So they were seeking to arrest him, but l no one laid a hand on him, m because his hour had not yet come. 31 Yet n many of the people believed in him. They said, o "When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?"

Officers Sent to Arrest Jesus

32 The Pharisees heard the crowd p muttering these things about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent q officers to arrest him. 33 Jesus then said, r "I will be with you a little longer, and then s I am going to him who sent me. 34 t You will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come." 35 The Jews said to one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we will not find him? u Does he intend to go to v the Dispersion among w the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What does he mean by saying, x 'You will seek me and you will not find me,' and, 'Where I am you cannot come'?"

Rivers of Living Water

37 y On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, z "If anyone thirsts, let him a come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, b as 6 the Scripture has said, c 'Out of his heart will flow rivers of d living water.'" 39 Now e this he said about the Spirit, f whom those who believed in him were to receive, g for as yet the Spirit had not been h given, i because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Division Among the People

40 When they heard these words, j some of the people said, "This really is k the Prophet." 41 Others said, "This is l the Christ." But some said, m "Is the Christ to come from Galilee? 42 Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes n from the offspring of David, and comes o from Bethlehem, the village p where David was?" 43 So there was q a division among the people over him. 44 r Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.

45 s The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why did you not bring him?" 46 The officers answered, t "No one ever spoke like this man!" 47 The Pharisees answered them, u "Have you also been deceived? 48 v Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him? 49 But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed." 50 w Nicodemus, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them, 51 x "Does our law judge a man without first y giving him a hearing and learning what he does?" 52 They replied, z "Are you from Galilee too? Search and see that a no prophet arises from Galilee."
