John Chapter 7

John 7 

Sukkot (8 days festival of booths in eighth months (oct)) before the last Passover experienced by Jesus 

1. And in the mid of this thing, Jesus was walking around, in Galilee; for He did not determine to walk in Judea, because the Jews seek to kill Him.

2 However, the feast of Booth (as tabernacle are erected outside as temporary home) for the Jews is near.

Familiarity of blood-brothers of Jesus breed comtempt 

3. His brothers then tells Him, depart from here, and go into Judea, Your disciples at least, will see the works, which you are doing.

4. For no person who is seeking to be in public (all out-spoken), will be doing anything in secret by himself. If you are doing these thing, show-case Yourself to the world.

5 for, even His brothers did not have Faith unto Him.

6. Jesus then tells them, there is no-gainsay, My time is very near, but the time pertaining to you, could be made ready at all times.

7. The world can not hate you; but (they) hate Me, because I testify about them, that their deeds are evil.

8. You, go up into the feast (of booth), For I will not go up into the feast at this (time). Certainly (no-gainsay), My set-time will be fulfillled.

9. So, He told them these things, as He stays in Galilee.

JESUS teaches the wisdom of God, along the path of Mercy

10. Moreover, His brothers went up unto the feast (of tabernacle), and at a time, Himself also goes up as though in secret, but not publicly. 

11 Therefore, the Jews seek Him in the feast, and ask, where is He?

12. And there is very much murmuring about Him in the crowd. Some indeed say, that He is good; but others also say, No; He deceives the people.

13. Though no-man indeed frankly preach about Him, because of the fear of the Jews.

14. However, now in middle of the feast (of booth), Jesus went up unto the temple, and teaches.

15 then the Jews wonder, and ask, how does this man, who never learn, know letters/grammar?

16. Jesus then answers them and says, My teachings are not Mine, but of the ONE WHO sent Me.

17. Whoever, in case, choose to do HIS desire, will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or I preaches it out of Myself.

18 the one preaching out of himself, seek his own glory; but the One seeking the glory of THE ONE who sent Him, this One is True, and no wrong (injustice) is in Him.

19. Was it Moses who gave you the law, to seek to kill me? No. So, (that is) why nothing out of the law is being obeyed by you?

20. The crowd answers, you have a demon; who is seeking to kill you?

21 Jesus answers and tells them, everybody is obeying and wonder at one work/deed

22. this circumcision, given to you through Moses is not because it is from Moses, but, from the fathers, and you circumcise men, on Sabbath day.

23 if a man receive circumcision on Sabbath day, and the law of Moses at least, was not broken, why are (you) enraged with Me that a man is made every-whit healthy on a Sabbath day?

24. Never judge according to the sight/appearance, but judge by a righteous judgment.

People disagree with the way Christ came to the world 

25 Therefore, some person from Jerusalem say, is this not whom they seek to kill?

26 and behold, He preaches frankly, and nothing is said to Him, at any time. Do the Rulers truly know that, this is the Christ?

27. But, we are aware, where this man is from. Moreover, whenever Christ will come, no man will know where he will be from.

28 then, Jesus screams in the temple, as He teaches and says, you may be aware where I am from; and I am aware, I have not come out by Myself, but the ONE Who sent me is truthful, Whom you are not aware of.

29. I am aware of HIM, because I am from HIM, and HE has sent Me.

30. Then, no man could lay hand upon Him. Certainly/no gainsay, their hour will come because they seek to arrest Him.

31. However, many from the crowd believed unto Him, and say, whenever Christ will come, He will not do more wonders than what this One has done?

Attempt to arrest Him during Sukkot failed by the subordinate-officers

32. As the Pharisees heard the crowd, murmuring these things concerning Him, they send the subordinate-officers of Chief-priests and the Pharisees, to at least, arrest Him.

Jesus predicted leaving the world physically

33. Jesus then says, I am still with you for a little space of time, and I will go towards the ONE Who sent Me.

34. You will seek but not find Me; and where I am, you will not be able to come.

35 the Jews then, ask towards themselves, where is He about to travel to, that we will not find Him? Is He intending to travel unto the Diaspora in Greek (Israelite residents in other countries), even to teach the Greeks (Hellen)?

36. What is this word which He said, you will seek but not find Me; and where I am, you will not be able to come?

Holy SPIRIT baptism like overflowing of Living water is certain and sure

37 Moreover, on the last mega day of the feast, Jesus stands, and screams, saying, in case any man thirsts, come towards Me and drink.

38 Those who have Faith unto Me, just as, it was said in the scriptures, freshet (overflowing running water) of Living water will flow out of their belly.

39. Moreover, He said this thing about the SPIRIT, WHOM certainly, those who believe unto Him are about to receive, because, it is so certain (no argument) that Jesus will be glorified by the SPIRIT.

Moses had misrepresented Christ as A Prophet: a reason for the confusion. 

40. Then, some, out of the multitude, who heard these words, say that, this is truly the Prophet.

41. Others said, is this the Christ? Others also said, Christ will never come from Galilee.

42. Hasn't the scripture says that Christ will come from the offspring of David, and out of Bethlehem, the the village where David had been?

43. Therefore, a schism happened to be in the crowd because of Him.

44. Even as some persons out of them determine to arrest Him, no man on the contrary, lays hand upon Him. 

The reason for the failure of the officers in verse 32

45 then the subordinate-officers come towards the Chief-priests and the Pharisees, and they ask them, by what reason have you not brought Him?

46. The officers answers, never at any time has a man preached the way, {even as this man has preached}.

Pharisees reject Christ except Nicodemus

47. The Pharisees then answer them, haven't you been deceived?

48 Hasn't anyone out of the Rulers or out of the Pharisees believe unto Him (now)?

49. But, the crowd do not know this thing is accursed (imprecated) by the law. 

50. Nicodemus, being one of them, who had previously gone unto the Same Jesus in the night; says towards them, 

51 our law does not judge a man, except first of all, we formerly hear from Him, and know what is to be done?

52. They answered and told him, are you not also from Galilee? Search and you will see that a prophet is never raised up from Galilee.
