John Chapter 07 Flashcards
John 7:1
After this, Jesus went around in Galilee, purposely staying away from Judea because the Jews there were waiting to take his life.
John 7:2
But when the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near,
John 7:3
Jesus’ brothers said to him, “You ought to leave here and go to Judea, so that your disciples may see the miracles you do.
John 7:4
No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.”
John 7:5
For even his own brothers did not believe in him.
John 7:6
Therefore Jesus told them, “The right time for me has not yet come; for you any time is right.
John 7:7
The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that what it does is evil.
John 7:8
You go to the Feast. I am not yet going up to this Feast, because for me the right time has not yet come.”
John 7:9
Having said this, he stayed in Galilee.
John 7:10
However, after his brothers had left for the Feast, he went also, not publicly, but in secret.
John 7:11
Now at the Feast the Jews were watching for him and asking, “Where is that man?”
John 7:12
Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others replied, “No, he deceives the people.”
John 7:13
But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the Jews.
John 7:14
Not until halfway through the Feast did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach.
John 7:15
The Jews were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning without having studied?”
John 7:16
Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me.
John 7:17
If anyone chooses to do God’s will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.
John 7:18
He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.
John 7:19
Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”
John 7:20
“You are demon-possessed,” the crowd answered. “Who is trying to kill you?”
John 7:21
Jesus said to them, “I did one miracle, and you are all astonished.
