John 7:6-17 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

6. So Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

7. The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I am testifying about it, that its deeds are evil.

8. You go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast, because my time is not yet completed.

9. And when he had said these things, he remained in Galilee.

10. But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but (as it were) in secret.

11. So the Jews were looking for him at the feast, and were saying, “Where is he?”

12. And there was a lot of grumbling concerning him among the crowds; some were saying, “He is a good man,” but others were saying, “No, but he deceives the crowd.”

13. However, no one was speaking openly about him for fear of the Jews.

14. Now when the feast was already half over, Jesus went to the temple courts and began to teach.

15. Then the Jews were astonished, saying, “How does this man possess knowledge, because he has not been taught?”

16. So Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not mine, but is from the one who sent me.

17. If anyone wants to do his will, he will know about my teaching, whether it is from God or I am speaking from myself.
