John 7:1-27

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He stayed away from Judea on purpose. He knew that the Jews there were waiting to kill him.

2 The Jewish Feast of Booths was near.

3 Jesus' brothers said to him, "You should leave here and go to Judea. Then your disciples will see the kinds of things you do.

4 No one who wants to be well known does things in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world."

5 Even Jesus' own brothers did not believe in him.

6 So Jesus told them, "The right time has not yet come for me. For you, any time is right.

7 The people of the world can't hate you. But they hate me. This is because I give witness that what they do is evil.

8 "You go to the Feast. I am not yet going up to this Feast. For me, the right time has not yet come."

9 After he said this, he stayed in Galilee.

10 When his brothers had left for the Feast, he went also. But he went secretly, not openly.

11 At the Feast the Jews were watching for him. They were asking, "Where is he?"

12 Many people in the crowd were whispering about him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others replied, "No. He fools the people."

13 But no one would say anything about him openly. They were afraid of the Jews.

14 Jesus did nothing until halfway through the Feast. Then he went up to the temple courtyard and began to teach.

15 The Jews were amazed. They asked, "How did this man learn so much without studying?"

16 Jesus answered, "What I teach is not my own. It comes from the One who sent me.

17 Anyone who chooses to do what God wants him to do will find out whether my teaching comes from God or from me.

18 Someone who speaks on his own does it to get honor for himself. But someone who works for the honor of the One who sent him is truthful. There is nothing false about him.

19 "Didn't Moses give you the law? But not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?"

20 "You are controlled by demons," the crowd answered. "Who is trying to kill you?"

21 Jesus said to them, "I did one miracle, and you are all amazed.

22 Moses gave you circumcision, and so you circumcise a child on the Sabbath day. But circumcision did not really come from Moses. It came from Abraham.

23 You circumcise a child on the Sabbath day. You think that if you do, you won't break the law of Moses. Then why are you angry with me? I healed a whole man on the Sabbath!

24 "Stop judging only by what you see. Judge correctly."

25 Then some of the people of Jerusalem began asking questions. They said, "Isn't this the man some people are trying to kill?

26 Here he is! He is speaking openly. They aren't saying a word to him. Have the authorities really decided that he is the Christ?

27 But we know where this man is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from."

New International Version NIV

1 After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders there were looking for a way to kill him.

2 But when the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near,

3 Jesus’ brothers said to him, “Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do.

4 No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.”

5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him.

6 Therefore Jesus told them, “My time is not yet here; for you any time will do.

7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil.

8 You go to the festival. I am not going up to this festival, because my time has not yet fully come.”

9 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.

10 However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret.

11 Now at the festival the Jewish leaders were watching for Jesus and asking, “Where is he?”

12 Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others replied, “No, he deceives the people.”

13 But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders.

14 Not until halfway through the festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach.

15 The Jews there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning without having been taught?”

16 Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.

17 Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.

18 Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.

19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”

20 “You are demon-possessed,” the crowd answered. “Who is trying to kill you?”

21 Jesus said to them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed.

22 Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs), you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath.

23 Now if a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing a man’s whole body on the Sabbath?

24 Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.”

25 At that point some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?

26 Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities really concluded that he is the Messiah?

27 But we know where this man is from; when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from.”
