Jesus Teaches at the Feast

After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee: for He would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill Him. Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand. His brethren, therefore, said unto Jesus, Depart now, and go into Judaea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You do. For there is no man that does anything in secret, and he himself seeks to be known openly. If  You do these things, show Yourself to the world. For even His brethren failed to believe in Him.

Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you, but the world hates Me, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. Go then up unto this feast I am not going yet unto this feast; for My time is not yet fully come. When Jesus had said these words unto them, He was still in Galilee. But when His brethren were gone up, then Jesus also went up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. Then the Jews sought for Him at the feast, and said, Where is Jesus? And there was much murmuring among the people concerning Him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, No but He deceives the people. Howbeit no man spake openly of Him for fear of the Jews. John 7 vs 1-13.

Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught. And the Jews marvelled, saying, How does this man know letters having never learned? Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not Mine, but the Father’s Who has sent Me. If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of Myself. He that speaks of himself seeks his own glory: but he that seeks the glory of the Father Who has sent Me, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. Did, not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keep the law? Why do you go about to kill Me?

The people answered and said because You have a devil: who goes about to kill You? Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and you all marvel. Moses, therefore, gave unto you circumcision; not because it is of Moses, but it was of the fathers and you on the sabbath day circumcise a man. If a man on the sabbath day receives circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are you angry at Me, because I have made a man completely whole on the sabbath day? Judge not according to the appearance, but judge through righteous judgment. John 7 vs 14-24.
