Jesus at the Feast of Booths

7 After this Jesus went about in Galilee. He would not go about in Judea, because ^(A)the Jews^[a] were seeking to kill him.

¹⁶ And this was why the Jews ^(A)were persecuting Jesus, ^(B)because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. ¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”

Jesus Is Equal with God

¹⁸ This was why the Jews ^(C)were seeking all the more to kill him, ^(D)because not only was he ^(E)breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God ^(F)his own Father, ^(G)making himself equal with God.

³ he left Judea and departed ^(A)again for Galilee.

^19 (A)Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. ^(B)Why do you seek to kill me?”

³⁸ But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ^(A)‘This is the heir. Come, ^(B)let us kill him and have his inheritance.’

²³ When they ^(A)persecute you in one town, ^(B)flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel ^(C)before the Son of Man comes.

³⁸ how ^(A)God anointed Jesus of Nazareth ^(B)with the Holy Spirit and with ^(C)power. He went about doing good and healing all ^(D)who were oppressed by the devil, ^(E)for God was with him.

^39 (A)Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.

⁴⁰ He went away again across the Jordan to the place ^(B)where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained.

^54 (A)This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.
