10 goes up from Galilee to the feast of tabernacles;
14 teaches in the temple.
40 Divers opinions of him among the people.
45 The Pharisees are angry that their officers took him not, and chide with Nicodemus for taking his part.

Jewry. Jewry, or Judea, as distinguished from Galilee and Samaria, contained the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, Simeon, and Dan, being bounded on the north by the village Annach or Dorceus, on the borders of Samaria; on the south by a village called Jarda in Arabia; and extending in breadth from the river Jordan to Joppa and the Mediterranean, having Jerusalem in its centre.

because. 19,25 5:16-18 Mt 10:23 21:38

2 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.

Ex 23:16,17 Le 23:34-43 Nu 29:12-38 De 16:13-16 1Ki 8:2,65 2Ch 7:9,10 Ezr 3:4 Ne 8:14-18 Zec 14:16-19

3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.

brethren. 5 Mt 12:46,47 Mr 3:31 Lu 8:19 Ac 2:14

Depart. Ge 37:5-11,20 1Sa 17:28 Jer 12:6 Mt 22:16,17

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.

there. Pr 18:1,2 Mt 6:1,2,5,16 23:5 Lu 6:45

shew. 18:20 1Ki 22:13 Mt 4:6 Ac 2:4-12

5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.

1:11-13 Mic 7:5,6 Mr 3:21

6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.

My time. 8,30 2:4 8:20 13:1 17:1 Ps 102:13 Ec 3:1 *etc: Ac 1:7

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.

I go not. 6,30 8:20,30 11:6,7 1Co 2:15,16

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.

then. Ps 26:8 40:8 Mt 3:15 Ga 4:4

not. 11:54 Isa 42:2,3 Am 5:13 Mt 10:16

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

Jews. 11:56

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.

murmuring. 32 9:16 Php 2:14

some. 25-27,40-43 6:14 9:16 10:19-21 Mt 10:25 16:13-16 21:46 Lu 7:16

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

the midst. 2,37 Nu 29:12,13,17,20,23 *etc:

the temple. 5:14 8:2 18:20 Hag 2:7-9 Mal 3:1 Mt 21:12 Lu 19:47

15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

marvelled. 46 Mt 7:28,29 22:22,33 Lu 2:47

How. Mt 13:54 Mr 6:2,3 Lu 4:22 Ac 2:7 *etc: Ac 4:11,12

letters. or, learning. Am 7:14,15

16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

My. 3:11,31 8:28 12:49,50 14:10,24 17:8,14 Re 1:1

but. 5:23,24,30 6:38-40,44

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.

1:46-49 8:31,32,43,47 Ps 25:8,9,12 119:10,101,102 Isa 35:8 Jer 31:33,34 Ho 6:3 Mic 4:2 Mal 4:2 Mt 6:22 Lu 8:15 Ac 10:1-6 Ac 11:13,14 17:11 Php 3:15,16

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.

that speaketh. 5:41 8:49,50 1Co 10:31-33 Ga 6:12-14 Php 2:3-5 1Th 2:6 1Pe 4:11

19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

not. 1:17 5:45 9:28,29 Ex 24:2,3 De 33:4 1:17 Ac 7:38 Ga 3:19 Heb 3:3-5

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

Thou. 8:48,52 10:20 Mt 10:25 11:18,19 12:24 Mr 3:21,22,30 Ac 26:24

21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.

I have. 5:9-11

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.

circumcision. Ge 17:10-14 Le 12:3 Ro 4:9-11 Ga 3:17

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?

that the law of Moses should not be broken. or, without breaking the law of Moses. Mt 12:5

I have made. Rather, 'I have healed a whole man [holos anthropos,] and not the circumcised member only. This reasoning was in perfect accordance with the principles of the Jews. So Tanchuma, 'Circumcision, which is performed on one of the 248 members of man, vacates the sabbath; how much more the whole body of a man!'

5:8,9,14-16

24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

8:15 De 1:16,17 16:18,19 Ps 58:1,2 82:2 94:20,21 Pr 17:15 Pr 24:23 Isa 5:23 11:3,4 Jas 2:1,4,9

25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

of Jerusalem. 10,11

Is not. 20

26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

he speaketh. Ps 40:9,10 71:15,16 Pr 28:1 Isa 42:4 50:7,8 Mt 22:16 Ac 4:13 Eph 6:19,20 Php 1:14 2Ti 1:7,8

Do. 48 9:22 11:47-53 12:42 Lu 7:30

27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

we know. 15 6:42 Mt 13:54-57 Mr 6:3 Lu 4:22

no man. 41,42 Isa 11:1 53:8 Jer 23:5 30:21 Mic 5:2 Mt 2:5,6 Ac 8:33

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.

Ye both. 1:46 8:14 Mt 2:23 Lu 2:4,11,39,51

for. 3:16,17 13:3 16:27,28 17:18 1Jo 1:2 4:9,14

30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

they. 19,32 8:37,59 10:31,39 11:57 Mr 11:18 Lu 19:47,48 20:19

but. 6,8,44-46 8:20 9:4 11:9,10 Ps 76:10 Isa 46:10 Lu 13:32,33 22:53

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?

believed. 2:23,24 4:39 6:14,15 8:30-32 12:42 Mt 12:23 Lu 8:13 Ac 8:13 Jas 2:26

When. 3:2 6:2 9:16 10:41,42 Mt 11:3-6

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

Pharisees heard. 47-53 11:47,48 12:19 Mt 12:23,24 23:13

sent. 45,46 18:3 Lu 22:52,53 Ac 5:26

33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.

Yet. 12:35,36 13:1,3,33 16:5,16-22 17:11,13 Mr 16:19

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?

the dispersed. Isa 11:12 27:12,13 Zep 3:10 Ac 21:21 Jas 1:1 1Pe 1:1

Gentiles. or, Greeks. teach. Ps 67:1,2 98:2,3 Isa 11:10 49:6 Mt 12:21 Lu 2:32 Ac 11:18 Ac 13:46-48 22:21 Eph 3:8 Col 1:27 1Ti 2:7 2Ti 1:11

Ye shall. 34 1Co 2:14

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.

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.)

this spake. 14:16,17,26 Pr 1:23 Isa 12:3 32:15 44:3 Joe 2:28 Lu 3:16 Lu 24:49 Ac 1:4-8 2:4,17,38 4:31 Ro 8:9 Eph 1:13,14 4:30

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?

This is. 31 1:41,49 4:25,29,42 6:69 Mt 16:14-16

Shall. 52 1:46

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.

12 9:16 10:19 Mt 10:35 Lu 12:51 Ac 14:4 23:7-10

44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

no man. 30 8:20 18:5,6 Ac 18:10 23:11 27:23-25

45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?

the officers. 32 Ac 5:21-27

46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.

Never. 26 Mt 7:29 Lu 4:22

Are. 12 9:27-34 2Ki 18:29,32 2Ch 32:15 Mt 27:63 2Co 6:8
