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 7:17c. AD 33
If anyone wants to do his will, he will know whether my teaching is from God or I speak on my own.
- John 7:18c. AD 33
A person who speaks on his own is trying to win praise for himself; but a person who tries to win praise for the one who sent him is honest, there is nothing false about him.
- John 7:19c. AD 33
Didn’t Moshe give you the Torah? Yet not one of you obeys the Torah! Why are you out to kill me?”
- John 7:20c. AD 33
“You have a demon!” the crowd answered. “Who’s out to kill you?”
- John 7:21c. AD 33
Yeshua answered them, “I did one thing; and because of this, all of you are amazed.
- John 7:22c. AD 33
Moshe gave you b’rit-milah — not that it came from Moshe but from the Patriarchs — and you do a boy’s b’rit-milah on Shabbat.
- John 7:23c. AD 33
If a boy is circumcised on Shabbat so that the Torah of Moshe will not be broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man’s whole body well on Shabbat?
- John 7:24c. AD 33
Stop judging by surface appearances, and judge the right way!”
- John 7:25c. AD 33
Some of the Yerushalayim people said, “Isn’t this the man they’re out to kill?
- John 7:26c. AD 33
Yet here he is, speaking openly; and they don’t say anything to him. It couldn’t be, could it, that the authorities have actually concluded he’s the Messiah?
- John 7:27c. AD 33
Surely not — we know where this man comes from; but when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
- John 7:28c. AD 33
Whereupon Yeshua, continuing to teach in the Temple courts, cried out, “Indeed you do know me! And you know where I’m from! And I have not come on my own! The One who sent me is real. But him you don’t know!
- John 7:29c. AD 33
I do know him, because I am with him, and he sent me!”
- John 7:30c. AD 33
At this, they tried to arrest him; but no one laid a hand on him; because his time had not yet come.
- John 7:31c. AD 33
However, many in the crowd put their trust in him and said, “When the Messiah comes, will he do more miracles than this man has done?”
- John 7:32c. AD 33
The P’rushim heard the crowd whispering these things about Yeshua; so the head cohanim and the P’rushim sent some of the Temple guards to arrest him.
- John 7:33c. AD 33
Yeshua said, “I will be with you only a little while longer; then I will go away to the One who sent me.
- John 7:34c. AD 33
You will look for me and not find me; indeed, where I am, you cannot come.”
- John 7:35c. AD 33
The Judeans said to themselves, “Where is this man about to go, that we won’t find him? Does he intend to go to the Greek Diaspora and teach the Greek-speaking Jews?
- John 7:36c. AD 33
And when he says, ‘You will look for me and not find me; indeed, where I am, you cannot come’ — what does he mean?”
- John 7:37c. AD 33
Now on the last day of the festival, Hoshana Rabbah, Yeshua stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him keep coming to me and drinking!
- John 7:38c. AD 33
Whoever puts his trust in me, as the Scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from his inmost being!”
- John 7:39c. AD 33
(Now he said this about the Spirit, whom those who trusted in him were to receive later — the Spirit had not yet been given, because Yeshua had not yet been glorified.)
- John 7:40c. AD 33
On hearing his words, some people in the crowd said, “Surely this man is ‘the prophet’”;
- John 7:41c. AD 33
others said, “This is the Messiah.” But others said, “How can the Messiah come from the Galil?
