|-
| '''Comments'''
|-
|V1 Not walking in Jewry<Ref name="Ioudaia">{{2449}}</Ref> is '''not going where the jurisdiction of Judea was in full power and influence.'''
|-
| The northen part of the kingdom of Judea was '''more racially mixed''' and a more diverse world. The non-Jewish '''Samartan territory''' and the Hellenistic people of Decapolis, ten cities on the eastern frontier of the Roman Empire, were a '''geopolitical partition''' from the southern area of influence of Judea containing Jerusalem during the first-century. But there was a deeper distinction in that Galilee was a better agricultural and fishing area populated with '''country folk''' who spoke a more '''rustic Aramaic''' dialect frowned upon and even '''mocked''' by those who thought themselves more ''sufisticated'' according to Richard T. (Dick) France who wrote the book ''Jesus the Radical: A Portrait of the Man they Crucified''.
|-
| '''v2''' there some who want Jesus to go and show what He can do but He already warned them about those who believe by signs.
|-
| '''V3-5''' In John 6:60 and 6:66 disciples abandoned Christ but are now presenting the same [[temptations]] we saw in Matthew and Luke. But this appears to be His own [[brethren]] who are trying to get his disciples and their followers back.
|-
| '''V6-8''' Because more people were starting to get this other [[Baptism]] of [[John the Baptist]] and [[Jesus]] instead of [[Herod]] and the [[pharisees]] the latter were loosing influence and therefore the support from the people.
|-
| '''V9''' Jesus stayed in Galilee at first but secretly went to the feast where the Jews did stalk him with apparently evil intent.
|-
| '''V13''' There was a debate among the people but many feared the Jews because of this competition for followers and the support they would normally render through [[Corban]] and they could rely on.
|-
| '''V14''' half way through the feast appears in the temple and begins teaching with an impressive knowledge of the scriptures (γράμματα grammata)<Ref name="grammata">{{1121}}</Ref> but had not studied (memathēkōs)<Ref name="memathēkōs">{{3129}}</Ref>.
|-
|Jesus had taught in the synagogues and all over Judea but the use of the term ''memathēkōs'' <Ref name="memathēkōs">{{3129}}</Ref>  seem to suggest an "increase in one’s knowledge". He seems to be overwhelmiring them with knowledge they cannot refute and information they were not prepared to argue against or may not have heard before or even may have forgotten.
|-
| '''Questions'''
|-
| '''V17-20''' What was this new knowledge?
|-
| ''V20-24'' Was it that he knew about their plot to kill him?
|-
| Was it deeper knowledge He knew concerning the [[Sabbath]] and the [[circumcise|circumcision]] of the heart?
|-
| Was it because their [[doctrines of men]] was focused on ''appearance'' (opsin)<Ref name="opsis">{{3799}}</Ref> of the law instead of the Spirit of the law with their false understanding of the [[Sabbath]], [[circumcise|circumcision]], [[leaven]], etc.?
|-
| '''V25-36''' there are some who see and some who remain blind. Remembering Jesus warned that there would be ''many'' who would think they believed in Him but would not see that they are workers of [[iniquity]] are there people today who have the appearance of being Christians but are full of unrighteousness and the [[leaven]] of [[covetous practices]] of men who [[exercise authority]], rob widows and orphans, and [[bite]] one another with uncircumcised hearts and seared consciences?
|-
| '''V37-39''' the Gospel explains the water he gives to drink is not physicall water but the [[Holy Spirit]]. Is eating his flesh about a wafer or crumb of bread or being doer of the word, the [[Logos]]?
|-
| '''V40-44''' A division?
|-
| '''V45-49''' Even their own officers doubt what they had believed and begin to believe in the [[logos]] of Christ as would many Romans.
|-
| '''V50-53''' [[Nicodemus]] speaks up and everyone returns to their own house.

== Jesus at the Feast of Booths ==


1 ¶  After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry<Ref name="Ioudaia">{{2449}}</Ref>[Judea], because the Jews sought to kill<Ref name="apokteino">{{615}}</Ref> him.

2  Now the Jews’ [[Feast of Tabernacles|feast of tabernacles]] was at hand.

=== Show thyself ===

3  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]].

5  For neither did his [[brethren]] believe in him.

=== My time is not yet  ===

6  Then Jesus said unto them, <span style="color:#FF0000">'''My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.'''</span>

7  <span style="color:#FF0000">'''The [[world]] cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are [[evil]].'''</span>

8  <span style="color:#FF0000">'''Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.'''</span>

== From Galilee in secret  ==

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.

=== Stalking and murmuring ===

11  Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

12  And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth<Ref name="plano">{{4105}}</Ref> the people.

13  Howbeit no man spake openly of him for [[fear]] of the Jews.

=== Jesus taught in temple ===

14 ¶  Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

15  And the Jews marvelled, saying,  How knoweth this man letters<Ref name="grammata">{{1121}}</Ref>, having never learned?<Ref name="memathēkōs">{{3129}}</Ref>

16  Jesus answered them, and said, <span style="color:#FF0000">'''[[Doctrine of Jesus|My doctrine]] is not mine, but his that sent me.'''</span>

=== Doing the will reveals===

17  <span style="color:#FF0000">'''If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.'''</span>

18  <span style="color:#FF0000">'''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.'''</span>

19  <span style="color:#FF0000">'''Did not [[Moses]]<Ref name="knewmose">{{knewmose}}</Ref> give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill<Ref name="apokteino">{{615}}</Ref> me?'''</span>

20  The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?

21  Jesus answered and said unto them,  <span style="color:#FF0000">'''I have done one work, and ye all marvel.'''</span>

22  <span style="color:#FF0000">'''[[Moses]] therefore gave unto you [[circumcise|circumcision]]; (not because it is of [[Moses]], but of the fathers;) and ye on the [[sabbath]] day [[circumcise]] a man.'''</span>

23  <span style="color:#FF0000">'''If a man on the [[sabbath]] day receive [[circumcise|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?'''</span>

24  <span style="color:#FF0000">'''Judge<Ref name="krino">{{2919}}</Ref><Ref name="Bejudged">{{Bejudged}}</Ref> not according to the appearance, but judge<Ref name="krino">{{2919}}</Ref><Ref name="Bejudged">{{Bejudged}}</Ref> [[righteous]] judgment.<Ref name="krisis">{{2920}}</Ref>'''</span>

== Can This Be the Christ? ==

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.

28  Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, <span style="color:#FF0000">'''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.'''</span>

29  <span style="color:#FF0000">'''But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.'''</span>

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?


== Officers Sent to Arrest Jesus ==



32  The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the [[Pharisees]] and the chief [[priests]] sent officers to take him.

33  Then said Jesus unto them, <span style="color:#FF0000">'''Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.'''</span>

34  <span style="color:#FF0000">'''Ye shall [[seek]] me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.'''</span>

35  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?


== Rivers of Living Water ==


37 ¶  In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, <span style="color:#FF0000">'''If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.'''</span>

38  <span style="color:#FF0000">'''He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.'''</span>

39  (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.)


== Division Among the People ==

40  Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.

41  Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?

42  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.

=== Even Officer doubted ===

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?

48  Have any of the [[rulers]] or of the [[Pharisees]] believed on him?

49  But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.


=== Nicodemus speaks ===

50  [[Nicodemus]] saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)

51  Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?

52  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.
