John 7:1-13
========================
5:15The man went away and
told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.
5:16So, because Jesus was
doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him.
5:17In his defense Jesus said
to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am
working.”
5:18For this reason they
tried all the more to kill him; not only was he
breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making
himself equal with God.

1After this, Jesus went
around in
2But when the Jewish Festival
of Tabernacles was near,
3Jesus’ brothers said to him,
“Leave Galilee and go to
4No one who wants to become a
public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself
to the world.”
5For even his own brothers
did not believe in him.
6Therefore Jesus told them,
“My time is not yet here; for you any time will do.
7The world cannot hate you,
but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil.
8You go to the festival. I am
not going up to this festival, because my time has not yet fully come.”
9After he had said this, he
stayed in
10However, after his brothers
had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret.
11Now at the festival the
Jewish leaders were watching for Jesus and asking, “Where is he?”
12Among the crowds there was
widespread whispering about him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others replied,
“No, he deceives the people.”
13But no one would say
anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders.
