FOR THERE IS NO MAN THAT DOETH ANYTHING IN SECRET, AND HE HIMSELF SEEKETH TO BE KNOWN OPENLY. IF THOU DO THESE THINGS, SHOW THYSELF TO THE WORLD.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR NEITHER DID HIS BRETHREN BELIEVE IN HIM. The evangelist includes a space of about six months in one short sentence. Jesus had been at Jerusalem for the Feast of Purim, returning immediately to Galilee, where He delivered His great sermon on the Bread of Life, after the feeding of the five thous...

THEN JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, MY TIME IS NOT YET COME, BUT YOUR TIME IS ALWAY READY.... [ Continue Reading ]

WHEN HE HAD SAID THESE WORDS UNTO THEM, HE ABODE STILL IN GALILEE. Jesus refused to listen to the proposals of His brothers. His time for revealing Himself publicly, especially in the manner which their suggestion implied, had not yet come. In the sense of their words He never wanted to become King... [ Continue Reading ]

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.... [ Continue Reading ]
HOWBEIT NO MAN SPAKE OPENLY OF HIM FOR FEAR OF THE JEWS. Jesus let His brothers, with their peculiar ideas concerning Messianic revelations, go up to the capital alone. But after they were gone, He started out on His journey to the feast, with none of the publicity which they had recommended. It was... [ Continue Reading ]
The appearance of Jesus at the festival:... [ Continue Reading ]

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.... [ Continue Reading ]
DID NOT MOSES GIVE YOU THE LAW, AND YET NONE OF YOU KEEPETH THE LAW? WHY GO YE ABOUT TO KILL ME?

THE PEOPLE ANSWERED AND SAID, THOU HAST A DEVIL; WHO GOETH ABOUT TO KILL THEE?... [ Continue Reading ]

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.... [ Continue Reading ]
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?... [ Continue Reading ]
JUDGE NOT ACCORDING TO THE APPEARANCE, BUT JUDGE RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT. The remarks of Jesus were directed principally to the leaders of the Jews, some of whom were always present whenever He taught. The fact that the Lord read their thoughts so easily and openly accused them of their heinous intention... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN SAID SOME OF THEM OF JERUSALEM, IS NOT THIS HE WHOM THEY SEEK TO KILL?... [ Continue Reading ]
The origin of Jesus:... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT, LO, HE SPEAKETH BOLDLY, AND THEY SAY NOTHING UNTO HIM. DO THE RULERS KNOW INDEED THAT THIS IS THE VERY CHRIST?... [ Continue Reading ]
HOWBEIT WE KNOW THIS MAN WHENCE HE IS; BUT WHEN CHRIST COMETH, NO MAN KNOWETH WHENCE HE IS.... [ Continue Reading ]
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.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT I KNOW HIM; FOR I AM FROM HIM, AND HE HATH SENT ME.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN THEY SOUGHT TO TAKE HIM; BUT NO MAN LAID HANDS ON HIM, BECAUSE HIS HOUR WAS NOT YET COME. A diversion was created at this point by the inquiry of some local people that may have come upon the scene at that moment. They were surprised at Christ's teaching so openly. He was surely the man whom th... [ Continue Reading ]
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?... [ Continue Reading ]
The anxiety of the Pharisees:... [ Continue Reading ]
Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning Him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN SAID JESUS UNTO THEM, YET A LITTLE WHILE AM I WITH YOU, AND THEN I GO UNTO HIM THAT SENT ME.... [ Continue Reading ]
YE SHALL SEEK ME, AND SHALL NOT FIND ME; AND WHERE I AM, THITHER YE CANNOT COME.... [ Continue Reading ]
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?... [ Continue Reading ]
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? The immediate result of Christ's testimony regarding Himself was that He gained believers, disciples, people who were sure that, should Christ come later, as the rulers were t... [ Continue Reading ]

(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.

SO THERE WAS A DIVISION AMONG THE PEOPLE BECAUSE OF HIM.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND SOME OF THEM WOULD HAVE TAKEN HIM; BUT NO MAN LAID HANDS ON HIM. Both the words and the manner of Jesus upon this occasion made a profound impression, but the people were impressed in various ways. Some of them were ready to believe that He was that great prophet of whom Moses had prophesied, De... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN CAME THE OFFICERS TO THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND PHARISEES; AND THEY SAID UNTO THEM, WHY HAVE YE NOT BROUGHT HIM?... [ Continue Reading ]

THEY ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, ART THOU ALSO OF GALILEE? SEARCH AND LOOK; FOR OUT OF GALILEE ARISETH NO PROPHET.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND EVERY MAN WENT UNTO HIS OWN HOUSE. The Temple-guards that had been commissioned with the arrest of the Lord had been willing enough to perform their task. They had kept a close watch upon Jesus these four days. But the very fact that they were in the neighborhood of Jesus and thus heard much of... [ Continue Reading ]
