Jesus blir hånad av sina bröder
7 Efter detta vandrade Jesus omkring i Galileen. Han ville hålla sig borta från Judeen, eftersom judarna var ute efter att döda honom. 2 Men snart var det dags för lövhyddefesten[a], 3 och Jesus bröder sa till honom: ”Du borde gå härifrån till Judeen, så att också dina lärjungar får se vad du gör. 4 Ingen som vill bli känd håller sin verksamhet hemlig. När du nu gör allt detta, så visa dig för världen.” 5 Inte ens hans bröder trodde nämligen på honom.
6 Men Jesus svarade: ”Tiden har inte kommit för mig än, men för er är det rätt tid när som helst. 7 Världen kan inte hata er. Men mig hatar den, eftersom jag vittnar om att dess gärningar är onda. 8 Gå ni iväg till högtiden. Jag går ännu inte till den här högtiden, för min tid har inte helt och fullt kommit.” 9 Och så stannade han kvar i Galileen.
Jesus undervisar i templet
10 När bröderna hade gett sig iväg till högtiden gick Jesus sedan dit i hemlighet, inte offentligt. 11 Judarna försökte få tag i honom under högtiden och frågade om någon visste var han var. 12 Folket pratade mycket om honom i smyg. Några sa: ”Han är en god människa”, medan andra sa: ”Nej, han bedrar folket.” 13 Ingen hade mod nog att prata öppet om honom, för alla var rädda för judarna.
14 Men när halva högtiden redan var över, gick Jesus upp till templet och började undervisa, 15 och judarna blev förvånade när de hörde honom. De sa: ”Hur kan han veta så mycket om Skrifterna trots att han saknar utbildning?”
16 Då svarade Jesus dem: ”Min lära är inte min utan hans som har sänt mig. 17 Om någon vill göra hans vilja, så kommer han att förstå om min undervisning är från Gud eller om jag bara talar av mig själv. 18 Den som talar av sig själv söker sin egen ära, men den som söker hans ära som har sänt honom talar sanning. Hos honom finns ingen orättfärdighet. 19 Har inte Mose gett er lagen? Men ingen av er följer lagen. Varför försöker ni döda mig?”
20 Folket svarade: ”Du är besatt av en ond ande! Det är väl ingen som försöker döda dig.”
21 Jesus svarade: ”Jag gjorde något som förvånade er mycket. 22 Mose har gett er omskärelsen, fastän den inte kommer från Mose utan från förfäderna, och ni utför omskärelse även på en sabbat. 23 Om man nu omskär en människa på en sabbat för att inte bryta mot Moses lag, varför retar ni upp er för att jag gjorde någon helt och hållet frisk på sabbaten? 24 Döm inte efter hur saker och ting ser ut, utan fäll en rättvis dom.”
Olika åsikter om vem Jesus är
25 En del av dem som bodde i Jerusalem sa: ”Är det inte den här mannen som de vill döda? 26 Här står han ju helt öppet och undervisar, och ingen säger något till honom. Har rådsmedlemmarna kanske blivit övertygade om att han är Messias? 27 Ändå vet vi varifrån den här mannen är. När Messias kommer ska ingen veta varifrån han är.”
28 Då ropade Jesus där han stod och undervisade i templet: ”Så ni känner mig och vet varifrån jag kommer! Ändå har jag inte kommit av mig själv, utan det finns en som har sänt mig, en som är trovärdig, en som ni inte känner. 29 Men jag känner honom, för jag kommer från honom, och han har sänt mig.”
30 De ville då gripa Jesus genast, men ingen rörde honom, eftersom hans stund ännu inte hade kommit. 31 Men många bland folket började tro på honom, och de sa: ”När Messias än kommer kan han väl inte göra fler tecken än denne man har gjort.”
32 När fariseerna fick veta att folket pratade om Jesus i smyg, skickade de och översteprästerna ut några män ur tempelvakten för att gripa honom. 33 Jesus sa: ”Jag kommer bara att stanna hos er en kort tid till. Sedan ska jag återvända till honom som har sänt mig. 34 Ni ska söka efter mig men inte hitta mig, för där jag är, dit kan ni inte komma.”
35 Då sa judarna till varandra: ”Vart tänker han ta vägen, eftersom vi inte ska kunna hitta honom? Tänker han gå till dem som bor kringspridda bland greker? Ska han undervisa greker? 36 Vad menar han när han säger: ’Ni ska söka efter mig, men inte hitta mig, för där jag är, dit kan ni inte komma’?”
37 På sista dagen, som var lövhyddefestens höjdpunkt, stod Jesus upp och ropade: ”Om någon är törstig så kom till mig och drick! 38 Den som tror på mig, ur hans inre ska strömmar av levande vatten flyta fram såsom det står skrivet[b].” 39 Med detta menade han Anden, som de som trodde på honom skulle få. Men Anden hade inte kommit än, eftersom Jesus ännu inte hade förhärligats.
40 När folket hörde honom säga detta, sa några av dem: ”Han måste vara profeten.[c]” 41 Andra sa: ”Han är Messias.” Ytterligare några: ”Nej. Messias ska väl inte komma från Galileen! 42 Står det inte i Skriften att Messias ska vara av Davids släkt och komma från Betlehem, småstaden där David bodde?”[d] 43 Människorna hade alltså delade meningar om honom. 44 Några ville också arrestera honom, men ingen rörde honom.
45 Tempelvakterna, som hade skickats ut för att gripa honom, återvände nu till översteprästerna och fariseerna, som frågade dem: ”Varför tog ni inte med honom hit?”
46 Men vakterna svarade: ”Aldrig har någon människa talat som han!”
47 ”Har ni också blivit vilseledda?” frågade fariseerna. 48 ”Finns det någon i rådet eller någon farisé som tror på honom? 49 Men folkhopen här vet inget om lagen[e], och de är förbannade.”
50 Då sa Nikodemos, den medlem i rådet som tidigare hade sökt upp Jesus: 51 ”Är det förenligt med vår lag att förklara någon skyldig innan man har hållit rättegång och hört vad han gör?”
52 De svarade: ”Är du också från Galileen? Läs i Skriften så får du se att ingen profet kommer från Galileen.”
Kvinnan som varit otrogen
[53 Sedan gick alla hem var och en till sitt.

7 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
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.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
8 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.
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 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.
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
18 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.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
20 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.
22 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.
23 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?
24 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.
28 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.
29 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.
33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
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?
37 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.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
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.)
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.
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.
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.

Jesus Goes to the Festival of Tabernacles
7 After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want[a] to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders(A) there were looking for a way to kill him.(B) 2 But when the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles(C) was near, 3 Jesus’ brothers(D) 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.(E)
6 Therefore Jesus told them, “My time(F) is not yet here; for you any time will do. 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me(G) because I testify that its works are evil.(H) 8 You go to the festival. I am not[b] going up to this festival, because my time(I) 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(J) 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.”(K) 13 But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders.(L)
Jesus Teaches at the Festival
14 Not until halfway through the festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach.(M) 15 The Jews(N) there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning(O) without having been taught?”(P)
16 Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.(Q) 17 Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out(R) 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,(S) 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?(T) Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”(U)
20 “You are demon-possessed,”(V) the crowd answered. “Who is trying to kill you?”
21 Jesus said to them, “I did one miracle,(W) and you are all amazed. 22 Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision(X) (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs),(Y) 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.”(Z)
Division Over Who Jesus Is
25 At that point some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?(AA) 26 Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities(AB) really concluded that he is the Messiah?(AC) 27 But we know where this man is from;(AD) when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from.”
28 Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts,(AE) cried out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from.(AF) I am not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is true.(AG) You do not know him, 29 but I know him(AH) because I am from him and he sent me.”(AI)
30 At this they tried to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him,(AJ) because his hour had not yet come.(AK) 31 Still, many in the crowd believed in him.(AL) They said, “When the Messiah comes, will he perform more signs(AM) than this man?”
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him.
33 Jesus said, “I am with you for only a short time,(AN) and then I am going to the one who sent me.(AO) 34 You will look for me, but you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come.”(AP)
35 The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we cannot find him? Will he go where our people live scattered(AQ) among the Greeks,(AR) and teach the Greeks? 36 What did he mean when he said, ‘You will look for me, but you will not find me,’ and ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”(AS)
37 On the last and greatest day of the festival,(AT) Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.(AU) 38 Whoever believes(AV) in me, as Scripture has said,(AW) rivers of living water(AX) will flow from within them.”[c](AY) 39 By this he meant the Spirit,(AZ) whom those who believed in him were later to receive.(BA) Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.(BB)
40 On hearing his words, some of the people said, “Surely this man is the Prophet.”(BC)
41 Others said, “He is the Messiah.”
Still others asked, “How can the Messiah come from Galilee?(BD) 42 Does not Scripture say that the Messiah will come from David’s descendants(BE) and from Bethlehem,(BF) the town where David lived?” 43 Thus the people were divided(BG) because of Jesus. 44 Some wanted to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.(BH)
Unbelief of the Jewish Leaders
45 Finally the temple guards went back to the chief priests and the Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring him in?”
46 “No one ever spoke the way this man does,”(BI) the guards replied.
47 “You mean he has deceived you also?”(BJ) the Pharisees retorted. 48 “Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?(BK) 49 No! But this mob that knows nothing of the law—there is a curse on them.”
50 Nicodemus,(BL) who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked, 51 “Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing?”
52 They replied, “Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.”(BM)

53 Then they all went home,
