Jesus Teaches at the Feast of Tabernacles; Diverse Opinions of Him among the People
John
1 Jesus reproves the ambition and boldness of his kinsmen, 10 goes up from Galilee to the feast of tabernacles, 14 teaches in the temple, 40 Various opinions of him among the people, 45 The Pharisees are angry that their officers took him not, , 50 and chide with Nicodemus for taking his side
Joh 5:16;Joh 13:1;Joh 17:1After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
Lev 23:342 Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.
Gal 1:19;Act 1:14;Joh 2:123 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
Mar 3:215 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
Act 1:7;Joh 2:4;Ecc 3:1-26 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
Joh 15:19;Joh 3:197 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
Joh 8:208 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
Joh 11:5611 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
Joh 6:14;Luk 7:16;Mat 21:4612 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
Act 2:7;Luk 4:22;Mar 6:215 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
Joh 3:31-34;Joh 8:28;Joh 12:4916 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
Joh 8:43;Luk 8:15;Mic 4:217 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
Joh 5:4118 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
Joh 5:16;Mar 3:6;Mat 12:1419 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
Joh 8:4820 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
Gen 17:10;Phi 3:5;Rom 4:11-1222 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
Joh 5:823 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
Jam 2:1;Joh 8:15;Pro 24:2324 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
Joh 1:18;Rom 3:4;Joh 5:3228 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
Mat 11:27;Joh 10:1529 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
Joh 13:3333 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
Joh 8:21;Hos 5:634 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
Isa 11:12;Jam 1:1;1 Pet 1:135 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
36 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
Isa 55:11;Rev 3:2037 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
Isa 12:3;Deu 18:1538 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Joh 12:16;Act 2:17;Joh 16:739 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
Deu 18:15;Joh 1:2140 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
Joh 4:4241 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
1 Sam 16:1;Luk 2:4;Psa 132:1142 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
1 Cor 1:2048 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
Joh 3:250 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
Joh 3:2;Deu 17:8;Deu 1:1751 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
1 Kin 17:1;2 Kin 14:25;Isa 9:1-252 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
53 And every man went unto his own house.
