John 7:1 After this Jesus stayed in Galilee; He could not stay in Judaea, because the Jews were out to kill Him. 2 As the Jewish feast of Tabernacles drew near, 3 his brothers said to Him, `Why not leave this place and go to Judaea, and let your disciples see the works you are doing; 4 if a man wants to be known he does not do things in secret; since you are doing all this, you should let the whole world see’. 5 Not even his brothers, in fact, had faith in Him. 6 Jesus answered, `The right time for Me has not come yet, but any time is the right time for you. 7 The world cannot hate you, but it does hate Me, because I give evidence that its ways are evil. 8 Go up to the festival yourselves: I am not going to this festival, because for Me the time is not ripe yet.’ 9 Having said that, He stayed behind in Galilee. 10 However, after his brothers had left for the festival, He went up as well, but quite privately, without drawing attention to Himself. 11 At the festival the Jews were on the look-out for Him: `Where is he?’ they said. 12 People stood in groups whispering about Him. Some said, `He is a good man’; others, `No, he is leading the people astray’. 13 Yet no one spoke about Him openly, for fear of the Jews. 14 When the festival was half over, Jesus went to the Temple and began to teach. 15 The Jews were astonished and said, `How did he learn to read? He has not been taught.’ 16 Jesus answered them: `MY TEACHING IS NOT FROM MYSELF: it comes from the One who sent Me; 17 and if anyone is prepared to do His will, He will know whether My teaching is from God or whether My doctrine is My own. 18 When a man’s doctrine is his own he is hoping to get honor for himself; but when he is working for the honor of one who sent him, then he is sincere and by no means an impostor. 19 Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not one of you keeps the Law! 20 Why do you want to kill Me?’ The crowd replied, `You are mad! Who wants to kill you?’ 21 Jesus answered, `One work I did, and you are all surprised by it. 22 Moses ordered you to practise circumcision–not that it began with him, it goes back to the Patriarchs–and you circumcise on the sabbath. 23 Now if a man can be circumcised on the sabbath so that the Law of Moses is not broken, why are you angry with Me for making a man whole and complete on a sabbath? 24 Do not keep judging according to appearances; let your judgement be according to what is right.’ 25 Meanwhile some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, `Isn’t this the man they want to kill? 26 And here he is, speaking freely, and they have nothing to say to him! Can it be true the authorities have made up their minds that he is the Christ? 27 Yet we all know where he comes from, but when the Christ appears no one will know where he comes from.’ 28 Then, as Jesus taught in the Temple, He cried out: `Yes, you know Me and you know where I came from. Yet I HAVE NOT COME OF MYSELF: no, there is One who sent Me and I really come from Him, and you do not know Him, 29 but I know Him because I have come from Him and it was He who sent Me.’
