Yochanan 7:3-26

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?”

²¹Yeshua answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.

²²Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

²³If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the Torah of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?

²⁴Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

²⁵Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁶Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Messiah?
