circa 6 BC – AD 30
The Life of Jesus
The eternal Son of God enters history: born in Bethlehem, baptized in the Jordan, crucified at Golgotha, raised on the third day.
- John 6:63c. AD 32
The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.
- John 6:64c. AD 32
However, there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray Him.)
- John 6:65c. AD 32
Then Jesus said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless the Father has granted it to him.”
- John 6:66c. AD 32
From that time on many of His disciples turned back and no longer walked with Him.
- John 6:67c. AD 32
So Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you want to leave too?”
- John 6:68c. AD 32
Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.
- John 6:69c. AD 32
We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.”
- John 6:70c. AD 32
Jesus answered them, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”
- John 6:71c. AD 32
He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For although Judas was one of the Twelve, he was later to betray Jesus.
- John 7:1c. AD 33
After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because the Jews there were trying to kill Him.
- John 7:2c. AD 33
However, the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.
- John 7:3c. AD 33
So Jesus’ brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples there may see the works You are doing.
- John 7:4c. AD 33
For no one who wants to be known publicly acts in secret. Since You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world.”
- John 7:5c. AD 33
For even His own brothers did not believe in Him.
- John 7:6c. AD 33
Therefore Jesus told them, “Although your time is always at hand, My time has not yet come.
- John 7:7c. AD 33
The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify that its works are evil.
- John 7:8c. AD 33
Go up to the feast on your own. I am not going up to this feast, because My time has not yet come.”
- John 7:9c. AD 33
Having said this, Jesus remained in Galilee.
- John 7:10c. AD 33
But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, He also went—not publicly, but in secret.
- John 7:11c. AD 33
So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?”
- John 7:12c. AD 33
Many in the crowds were whispering about Him. Some said, “He is a good man.” But others replied, “No, He deceives the people.”
- John 7:13c. AD 33
Yet no one would speak publicly about Him for fear of the Jews.
- John 7:14c. AD 33
About halfway through the feast, Jesus went up to the temple courts and began to teach.
- John 7:15c. AD 33
The Jews were amazed and asked, “How did this man attain such learning without having studied?”
- John 7:16c. AD 33
“My teaching is not My own,” Jesus replied. “It comes from Him who sent Me.
