Since you are doing these things, show yourself openly to the world." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/7-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>For even His brothers were not believers in Him. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/7-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>"My time," replied Jesus, "has not yet come, but for you any time is suitable. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/7-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>It is impossible for the world to hate you; but me it does hate, because I give testimony concerning it that its conduct is evil. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/7-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>As for you, go up to the Festival. I do not now go up to this Festival, because my time is not yet fully come." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/7-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Such was His answer, and He remained in Galilee.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/7-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>When however His brothers had gone up to the Festival, then He also went up, not openly, but as it were privately. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/7-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Meanwhile the Jews at the Festival were looking for Him and were inquiring, "Where is he?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/7-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Among the mass of the people there was much muttered debate about Him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so: he is imposing on the people." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/7-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke out boldly about Him.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/7-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>But when the Festival was already half over, Jesus went up to the Temple and commenced teaching. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/7-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>The Jews were astonished. "How does this man know anything of books," they said, "although he has never been at any of the schools?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/7-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>Jesus answered their question by saying, "My teaching does not belong to me, but comes from Him who sent me. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/7-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>If any one is willing to do His will, he shall know about the teaching, whether it is from God or originates with me. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/7-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>The man whose teaching originates with himself aims at his own glory.

Can the Rulers really have ascertained that this man is the Christ? <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/7-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>And yet we know this man, and we know where he is from; but as for the Christ, when He comes, no one can tell where He is from." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/7-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>Jesus therefore, while teaching in the Temple, cried aloud, and said, "Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. And yet I have not come of my own accord; but there is One who has sent me, an Authority indeed, of whom you have no knowledge. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/7-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>I know Him, because I came from Him, and He sent me." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/7-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>On hearing this they wanted to arrest Him; yet not a hand was laid on Him, because His time had not yet come. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/7-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>But from among the crowd a large number believed in Him.
