Yochanan 7:1-20

¹After these things, Yeshua was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Judeans sought to kill him.

²Now the Jewish festival, the Feast of Sukkot, was at hand.

³His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

⁴For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”

⁵For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.

⁶Yeshua therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

⁷The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

⁸You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”

⁹Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.

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

¹¹The Judeans therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”

¹²There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”

¹³Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Judeans.

¹⁴But when it was now the middle of the feast, Yeshua went up into the temple and taught.

¹⁵The Judeans therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”

¹⁶Yeshua therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

¹⁷If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself.

¹⁸He 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.

¹⁹Didn’t Moses give you the Torah, and yet none of you keeps the Torah? Why do you seek to kill me?”

²⁰The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
