nsb - John:7

nsb@John:7:1 @ After that Jesus walked in Galilee. He would not walk in Judea because the Jews looked for ways to kill him.

nsb@John:7:2 @ It was time for the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles.

nsb@John:7:3 @ His brothers said to him: »Leave here and go to Judea. That way your disciples also may see the works that you do.

nsb@John:7:4 @ »No one does anything in secret when he seeks to be known publicly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.«

nsb@John:7:5 @ For his brothers did not express active faith in him.

nsb@John:7:6 @ Then Jesus replied: »My time is not yet here but your time is always ready.

nsb@John:7:7 @ »The world has no reason to hate you. But it hates me because I testify that its works are evil.

nsb@John:7:8 @ »You go to this feast. I will not go to this feast for my time has not yet come.«

nsb@John:7:9 @ When he said these words to them he stayed in Galilee.

nsb@John:7:10 @ When his brothers left he secretly went to the feast.

nsb@John:7:11 @ The Jews looked for him at the feast and they said: »Where is he?«

nsb@John:7:12 @ There was much whispering among the people concerning him. Some said: »He is a good man.« Others said: »No, he deceives the people.«

nsb@John:7:13 @ However no man spoke openly about him out of fear of the Jews.

nsb@John:7:14 @ Midway through the feast Jesus went to the temple and taught.

nsb@John:7:15 @ The Jews wondered saying: »How does this man know letters? He has had no formal education.«

nsb@John:7:16 @ Jesus replied: »My teaching is not my own. It is his who sent me.

nsb@John:7:17 @ »If any man does his will he shall know the teachings. He will know if it is from God, or whether I speak from myself.

nsb@John:7:18 @ »He who speaks from his own authority seeks his own glory. He who seeks glory for the one who sent him is true. Unrighteousness is not found in him.

nsb@John:7:19 @ »Did Moses give you the law? / Yet none of you obey the law! Why do you seek to kill me?«

nsb@John:7:20 @ The crowd answered: »You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?«

nsb@John:7:21 @ Jesus responded: »I did one work and you all marveled because of it.

nsb@John:7:22 @ »Moses gave you circumcision. Not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers. And you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

nsb@John:7:23 @ »A man receives circumcision on the Sabbath. That way the Law of Moses may not be broken. Are you angry with me, because I made an entire man whole on the Sabbath?

nsb@John:7:24 @ »Do not judge according to appearance! Judge a righteous judgment.«

nsb@John:7:25 @ Some in Jerusalem asked: »Is this he whom they seek to kill?

nsb@John:7:26 @ »He spoke openly and they said nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?

nsb@John:7:27 @ »How is it we know where this man is from but when the Christ comes no one will know where he is from?«

nsb@John:7:28 @ Jesus shouted in the temple: »You know me and from where I came. I did not come on my own. He who sent me is true and you do not know him.

nsb@John:7:29 @ »I know him because I am from him and he sent me.«

nsb@John:7:30 @ They looked for a way to capture him. But no man laid his hand on him. This is because his hour had not yet arrived.

nsb@John:7:31 @ Many in the crowd believed in him. They asked: »When the Christ comes will he do more signs than those this man has done?«

nsb@John:7:32 @ The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things concerning him. The chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to capture him.

nsb@John:7:33 @ Jesus therefore said: »I am with you a little while. Then I go to him who sent me.

nsb@John:7:34 @ »You will seek me and will not find me. You cannot come where I am going.«

nsb@John:7:35 @ The Jews said among themselves: »Where will this man go that we shall not find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

nsb@John:7:36 @ »What is this word that he said: You will seek me, and will not find me; and you cannot come where I am going?«

nsb@John:7:37 @ On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and shouted in a loud voice: »If any man thirst let him come to me and drink.

nsb@John:7:38 @ »Rivers of living water will flow from the innermost being of the man who believes in me. This is according to the scriptures.«

nsb@John:7:39 @ He spoke this by the Spirit. Those who believed in him were to receive the Spirit. The Spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified.

nsb@John:7:40 @ When they heard these words some of the crowd proclaimed: »This truly is the prophet!

nsb@John:7:41 @ Others said: »This is the Christ.« But some asked: »Does the Christ come out of Galilee?

nsb@John:7:42 @ »Do the Scriptures say that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?«

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

nsb@John:7:44 @ Some of them wanted to apprehend him. Yet no man laid hands on him.

nsb@John:7:45 @ The chief priests and Pharisees asked the officers: »Why did you not bring him?«

nsb@John:7:46 @ »No man has ever spoken the way he speaks,« they replied.

nsb@John:7:47 @ The Pharisees therefore answered them: »Are you also deceived?

nsb@John:7:48 @ »Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in him?

nsb@John:7:49 @ »This crowd does not know the law. It is contemptible«

nsb@John:7:50 @ Nicodemus spoke to them.

nsb@John:7:51 @ »Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to find out what he has done?«

nsb@John:7:52 @ They replied: »Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.«
