Jesus at the Feast of Booths

1 After this Jesus went about in Galilee. He would not go about in Judea, because the Jews^[1] were seeking to kill him. (Joh 5:18; Joh 8:37; Joh 8:40; Joh 11:53)

Joh 5:18Joh 8:37Joh 8:40Joh 11:53

2 Now the Jews’ Feast of Booths was at hand. (Le 23:34; Joh 5:1; Joh 6:4) 3 So his brothers^[2] said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing. (Mt 12:46; Joh 7:5; Joh 7:10) 4 For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.” (Joh 14:22; Joh 18:20) 5 For not even his brothers believed in him. (Mt 13:57; Mr 3:21; Joh 7:3; Joh 7:10)

Mt 13:57Mr 3:21Joh 7:3Joh 7:10

6 Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always here. (Joh 2:4; Joh 7:8; Joh 7:30) 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil. (Joh 3:19; Joh 15:18; Joh 15:24; Col 1:21; 1Jo 3:12)

Joh 3:19Joh 15:18Joh 15:24Col 1:211Jo 3:12

8 You go up to the feast. I am not^[3] going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come.” (Joh 2:4) 9 After saying this, he remained in Galilee. 10 But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private. (Joh 7:3; Joh 7:5) 11 The Jews were looking for him at the feast, and saying, “Where is he?” (Joh 7:1; Joh 11:56) 12 And there was much muttering about him among the people. While some said, “He is a good man,” others said, “No, he is leading the people astray.” (Joh 7:32; Joh 7:40; Joh 7:47) 13 Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke openly of him. (Joh 9:22; Joh 12:42; Joh 19:38; Joh 20:19)

Joh 9:22Joh 12:42Joh 19:38Joh 20:19

14 About the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and began teaching. (Joh 7:28) 15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning,^[4] when he has never studied?” (Lu 2:47; Lu 4:22; Joh 7:46; Ac 4:13)

Lu 2:47Lu 4:22Joh 7:46Ac 4:13

16 So Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. (Joh 3:17; Joh 3:34; Joh 8:28; Joh 12:49; Joh 14:10; Joh 14:24)

Joh 3:17Joh 3:34Joh 8:28Joh 12:49Joh 14:10Joh 14:24

17 If anyone’s will is to do God’s^[5] will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority. (Ps 25:9; Da 12:10; Joh 5:30; Joh 8:31; Joh 8:43; Joh 14:21; Joh 14:23; Php 3:15)

Ps 25:9Da 12:10Joh 5:30Joh 8:31Joh 8:43Joh 14:21Joh 14:23Php 3:15

18 The one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood. (Joh 5:41; Joh 8:50) 19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?” (Joh 1:17; Joh 7:1; Joh 7:23) 20 The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?” (Mt 11:18; Mr 3:22; Lu 7:33; Joh 8:48; Joh 8:52; Joh 10:20)

Mt 11:18Mr 3:22Lu 7:33Joh 8:48Joh 8:52Joh 10:20

21 Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel at it. (Joh 5:2; Joh 7:23) 22 Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. (Ge 17:10; Le 12:3) 23 If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man’s whole body well? (Mt 12:2; Joh 5:16) 24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.” (De 1:16; Isa 11:3; Joh 8:15; 2Co 10:7)

De 1:16Isa 11:3Joh 8:152Co 10:7

Can This Be the Christ?

25 Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, “Is not this the man whom they seek to kill? (Joh 7:1) 26 And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ? (Joh 7:48; Joh 18:20) 27 But we know where this man comes from, and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from.” (Joh 6:42; Joh 7:42; Joh 8:14; Joh 8:19; Joh 9:29; Joh 19:9)

Joh 6:42Joh 7:42Joh 8:14Joh 8:19Joh 9:29Joh 19:9

28 So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, “You know me, and you know where I come from. But I have not come of my own accord. He who sent me is true, and him you do not know. (Joh 4:22; Joh 5:43; Joh 7:14; Joh 7:27; Joh 8:19; Joh 8:26; Joh 8:42; Joh 8:55; Joh 15:21)

Joh 4:22Joh 5:43Joh 7:14Joh 7:27Joh 8:19Joh 8:26Joh 8:42Joh 8:55Joh 15:21

29 I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.” (Mt 11:27; Joh 1:14; Joh 3:17; Joh 6:46; Joh 8:55; Joh 9:16; Joh 9:33)

Mt 11:27Joh 1:14Joh 3:17Joh 6:46Joh 8:55Joh 9:16Joh 9:33

30 So they were seeking to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. (Mt 21:46; Joh 7:6; Joh 7:44; Joh 8:20; Joh 10:39)

Mt 21:46Joh 7:6Joh 7:44Joh 8:20Joh 10:39

31 Yet many of the people believed in him. They said, “When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?” (Mt 12:23; Mt 21:11; Joh 2:23; Joh 8:30; Joh 10:42; Joh 11:45; Joh 12:11; Joh 12:42)

Mt 12:23Mt 21:11Joh 2:23Joh 8:30Joh 10:42Joh 11:45Joh 12:11Joh 12:42

Officers Sent to Arrest Jesus

32 The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him. (Joh 7:12; Joh 7:45) 33 Jesus then said, “I will be with you a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me. (Joh 12:35; Joh 13:33; Joh 14:19; Joh 16:5; Joh 16:16)

Joh 12:35Joh 13:33Joh 14:19Joh 16:5Joh 16:16

34 You will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come.” (Joh 8:21; Joh 13:33) 35 The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we will not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? (Isa 11:12; Zep 3:10; Joh 8:22; Joh 12:20; Jas 1:1; 1Pe 1:1)

Isa 11:12Zep 3:10Joh 8:22Joh 12:20Jas 1:11Pe 1:1

36 What does he mean by saying, ‘You will seek me and you will not find me,’ and, ‘Where I am you cannot come’?” (Joh 7:34)

Rivers of Living Water

37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. (Le 23:36; Nu 29:35; Ne 8:18; Isa 55:1; Joh 4:14; Joh 6:35)

Le 23:36Nu 29:35Ne 8:18Isa 55:1Joh 4:14Joh 6:35

38 Whoever believes in me, as^[6] the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” (Pr 18:4; Isa 12:3; Eze 47:1; Joh 4:10; Joh 4:14)

Pr 18:4Isa 12:3Eze 47:1Joh 4:10Joh 4:14

39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. (Isa 44:3; Joe 2:28; Lu 11:13; Lu 24:49; Joh 1:33; Joh 3:34; Joh 14:16; Joh 16:7; Joh 20:22; Ac 2:4; Ac 2:16; Ac 2:33; 1Co 12:13; Ga 3:14)

Isa 44:3Joe 2:28Lu 11:13Lu 24:49Joh 1:33Joh 3:34Joh 14:16Joh 16:7Joh 20:22Ac 2:4Ac 2:16Ac 2:331Co 12:13Ga 3:14

Division Among the People

40 When they heard these words, some of the people said, “This really is the Prophet.” (Mt 21:11; Joh 1:21; Joh 6:14; Joh 7:31)

Mt 21:11Joh 1:21Joh 6:14Joh 7:31

41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Is the Christ to come from Galilee? (Joh 1:46; Joh 7:26; Joh 7:52) 42 Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the offspring of David, and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” (1Sa 16:1; Ps 89:3; Mic 5:2; Mt 1:1; Mt 2:1; Mt 2:5; Lu 2:4)

1Sa 16:1Ps 89:3Mic 5:2Mt 1:1Mt 2:1Mt 2:5Lu 2:4

43 So there was a division among the people over him. (Joh 7:12; Joh 9:16; Joh 10:19) 44 Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him. (Joh 7:30) 45 The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring him?” (Joh 7:32) 46 The officers answered, “No one ever spoke like this man!” (Mt 7:29) 47 The Pharisees answered them, “Have you also been deceived? (Joh 7:12) 48 Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him? (Joh 12:42; 1Co 1:20; 1Co 1:26; 1Co 2:8)

Joh 12:421Co 1:201Co 1:261Co 2:8

49 But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.” 50 Nicodemus, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them, (Joh 3:1; Joh 19:39) 51 “Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does?” (De 1:16; De 17:6; De 19:15; Pr 18:13; Ac 23:3)

De 1:16De 17:6De 19:15Pr 18:13Ac 23:3

52 They replied, “Are you from Galilee too? Search and see that no prophet arises from Galilee.” (Jos 19:13; 2Ki 14:25; Joh 7:41)

الكتاب المقدس

يسوع يذهب إلى عيد المظال

1 بَعْدَ ذلِكَ بَدَأَ يَسُوعُ يَتَنَقَّلُ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ الْجَلِيلِ، مُتَجَنِّباً التَّجَوُّلَ فِي مِنطَقَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ، لأَنَّ الْيَهُودَ كَانُوا يَسْعَوْنَ إِلَى قَتْلِهِ. 2 وَعِنْدَمَا اقْتَرَبَ عِيدُ المَظَالِّ الْيَهُودِيُّ، 3 قَالَ لَهُ إِخْوَتُهُ: «اتْرُكْ هذِهِ الْمِنْطَقَةَ وَاذْهَبْ إِلَى الْيَهُودِيَّةِ لِيَرَى أَتْبَاعُكَ مَا تَعْمَلُهُ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ، 4 فَلا أَحَدَ يَعْمَلُ فِي الْخَفَاءِ إِذَا كَانَ يَبْتَغِي الشُّهْرَةَ. وَمَادُمْتَ تَعْمَلُ هذِهِ الأَعْمَالَ، فَأَظْهِرْ نَفْسَكَ لِلْعَالَمِ». 5 فَإِنَّ إِخْوَتَهُ لَمْ يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ بِهِ. 6 فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «مَا حَانَ وَقْتِي بَعْدُ، أَمَّا وَقْتُكُمْ فَهُوَ مُنَاسِبٌ كُلَّ حِينٍ. 7 لَا يَقْدِرُ الْعَالَمُ أَنْ يُبْغِضَكُمْ، وَلكِنَّهُ يُبْغِضُنِي أَنَا، لأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّ أَعْمَالَهُ شِرِّيرَةٌ. 8 اصْعَدُوا أَنْتُمْ إِلَى الْعِيدِ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَنْ أَصْعَدَ الآنَ إلى هَذَا العِيدِ لأَنَّ وَقْتِي مَا جَاءَ بَعْدُ». 9 قَالَ لَهُمْ هَذَا وَبَقِيَ فِي الْجَلِيلِ. 10 وَبَعْدَمَا ذَهَبَ إِخْوَتُهُ إِلَى الْعِيدِ، ذَهَبَ هُوَ أَيْضاً كَمَا لَوْ كَانَ مُتَخَفِّياً، لَا ظَاهِراً. 11 فَأَخَذَ الْيَهُودُ يَبْحَثُونَ عَنْهُ فِي الْعِيدِ، وَيَسْأَلُونَ: «أَيْنَ ذَاكَ الرَّجُلُ؟» 12 وَثَارَتْ بَيْنَ الْجُمُوعِ مُنَاقَشَاتٌ كَثِيرَةٌ حَوْلَهُ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: «إِنَّهُ صَالِحٌ» وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ: «لا! بَلْ إِنَّهُ يُضَلِّلُ الشَّعْبَ» 13 وَلكِنْ لَمْ يَجْرُؤْ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ عَنْهُ عَلَناً، خَوْفاً مِنَ الْيَهُودِ.

يسوع يعلّم في العيد

14 وَلَمَّا مَضَى مِنَ الْعِيدِ نِصْفُهُ، صَعِدَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ وَبَدَأَ يُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ. 15 فَدُهِشَ الْيَهُودُ وَتَسَاءَلُوا: «كَيْفَ يَعْرِفُ هَذَا الْكُتُبَ وَهُوَ لَمْ يَتَعَلَّمْ؟» 16 فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لَيْسَ تَعْلِيمِي مِنْ عِنْدِي، بَلْ مِنْ عِنْدِ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي 17 وَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ مَشِيئَةَ اللهِ يَعْرِفُ مَا إِذَا كَانَ تَعْلِيمِي مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ، أَوْ أَنَّنِي أَتَكَلَّمُ مِنْ عِنْدِي. 18 مَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ يَطْلُبُ الْمَجْدَ لِنَفْسِهِ؛ أَمَّا الَّذِي يَطْلُبُ الْمَجْدَ لِمَنْ أَرْسَلَهُ فَهُوَ صَادِقٌ لَا إِثْمَ فِيهِ. 19 أَمَا أَعْطَاكُمْ مُوسَى الشَّرِيعَةَ؟ وَلكِنْ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ يَعْمَلُ بِالشَّرِيعَةِ! لِمَاذَا تَسْعَوْنَ إِلَى قَتْلِي؟» 20 أَجَابَهُ الْجَمْعُ: «بِكَ شَيْطَانٌ! مَنْ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَكَ؟» 21 فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ: «عَمِلْتُ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ عَمَلاً وَاحِداً فَاسْتَغْرَبْتُمْ جَمِيعاً. 22 إِنَّ مُوسَى أَوْصَاكُمْ بِالْخِتَانِ وَهَذَا لَا يَعْنِي أَنَّ الْخِتَانَ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى مُوسَى بَلْ إِلَى الآبَاءِ وَلِذلِكَ تَخْتِنُونَ الإِنْسَانَ وَلَوْ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ. 23 فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُجْرُونَ الْخِتَانَ لِلإِنْسَانِ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ لِكَيْ لَا تُخَالِفُوا شَرِيعَةَ مُوسَى، فَهَلْ تَغْضَبُونَ عَلَيَّ لأَنِّي شَفَيْتُ إِنْسَاناً بِكَامِلِهِ فِي السَّبْتِ؟ 24 لَا تَحْكُمُوا بِحَسَبِ الظَّاهِرِ، بَلِ احْكُمُوا حُكْماً عَادِلاً».

انقسام حول من هو يسوع

25 عِنْدَ ذلِكَ قَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ: «أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ الَّذِي يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ؟ 26 هَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ عَلَناً وَلا أَحَدَ يَعْتَرِضُهُ بِشَيْءٍ. تُرَى، هَلْ تَأَكَّدَ رُؤَسَاؤُنَا أَنَّهُ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ حَقّاً؟ 27 إِنَّ الْمَسِيحَ عِنْدَمَا يَأْتِي لَنْ يَعْرِفَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَيْنَ جَاءَ، أَمَّا هَذَا فَإِنَّنَا نَعْرِفُ أَصْلَهُ!» 28 فَرَفَعَ يَسُوعُ صَوْتَهُ، وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ، قَائِلاً: «أَنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَنِي وَتَعْرِفُونَ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنَا! وَأَنَا لَمْ آتِ مِنْ عِنْدِ ذَاتِي، وَلكِنَّ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ حَقٌّ وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَعْرِفُونَهُ. 29 أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَعْرِفُهُ، لأَنِّي مِنْهُ وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنَي». 30 فَسَعَى الْيَهُودُ لِلْقَبْضِ عَلَيْهِ، وَلكِنَّ أَحَداً لَمْ يُلْقِ عَلَيْهِ يَداً، لأَنَّ سَاعَتَهُ لَمْ تَكُنْ قَدْ حَانَتْ. 31 عَلَى أَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ الْجَمْعِ آمَنُوا بِهِ، وَقَالُوا: «أَلَعَلَّ الْمَسِيحَ، عِنْدَمَا يَأْتِي، يُجْرِي آيَاتٍ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الَّتِي يُجْرِيهَا هَذَا الرَّجُلُ؟» 32 وَسَمِعَ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ مَا يَتَهَامَسُ بِهِ الْجَمْعُ عَنْهُ، فَأَرْسَلُوا هُمْ وَرُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ بَعْضَ الْحُرَّاسِ لِيُلْقُوا الْقَبْضَ عَلَيْهِ. 33 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا بَاقٍ مَعَكُمْ وَقْتاً قَلِيلاً، ثُمَّ أَعُودُ إِلَى الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي. 34 عِنْدَئِذٍ تَسْعَوْنَ فِي طَلَبِي وَلا تَجِدُونَنِي، وَلا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَذْهَبُوا إِلَى حَيْثُ أَكُونُ». 35 فَتَسَاءَلَ الْيَهُودُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ: «إِلَى أَيْنَ يَنْوِي أَنْ يَذْهَبَ فَلا نَجِدَهُ؟ أَيَذْهَبُ إِلَى الْمُدُنِ الْيُونَانِيَّةِ الَّتِي تَشَتَّتَ فِيهَا الْيَهُودُ، وَيُعَلِّمُ الْيُونَانِيِّينَ؟ 36 وَمَاذَا يَعْنِي بِقَوْلِهِ: تَسْعَوْنَ فِي طَلَبِي فَلا تَجِدُونَنِي، وَلا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَذْهَبُوا إِلَى حَيْثُ أَكُونُ؟»

إن عطش أحد فليأت إليَّ

37 وَفِي آخِرِ يَوْمٍ مِنَ الْعِيدِ، وَهُوَ أَعْظَمُ أَيَّامِهِ، وَقَفَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ: «إِنْ عَطِشَ أَحَدٌ فَلْيَأْتِ إِلَيَّ وَيَشْرَبْ. 38 وَكَمَا قَالَ الْكِتَابُ، مَنْ آمَنَ بِي تَجْرِ مِنْ دَاخِلِهِ أَنْهَارُ مَاءٍ حَيٍّ». 39 قَالَ يَسُوعُ هَذَا عَنِ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ الَّذِي كَانَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ سَيَقْبَلُونَهُ. وَلَمْ يَكُنِ الرُّوحُ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ بَعْدُ لأَنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ تَمَجَّدَ بَعْدُ. 40 وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْحَاضِرُونَ هَذَا الْكَلامَ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: «هَذَا هُوَ النَّبِيُّ حَقّاً». 41 وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ: «هَذَا هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ». وَلَكِنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ قَالُوا: «وَهَلْ يَطْلُعُ الْمَسِيحُ مِنَ الْجَلِيلِ؟ 42 أَمَا قَالَ الْكِتَابُ إِنَّ الْمَسِيحَ سَيَأْتِي مِنْ نَسْلِ دَاوُدَ، وَمِنْ قَرْيَةِ بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ حَيْثُ كَانَ دَاوُدُ؟» 43 وَهكَذَا حَصَلَ بِسَبَبِهِ بَيْنَ الْجَمْعِ انْقِسَامٌ فِي الرَّأْيِ. 44 وَأَرَادَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَنْ يُلْقُوا الْقَبْضَ عَلَيْهِ؛ وَلكِنَّ أَحَداً لَمْ يُلْقِ عَلَيْهِ يَداً.
