John 7
Jesus and His Brothers-John 7:1-9
Jesus did not want to go to the Festival with His brothers for they did not believe in Him. After brothers left for the Festival Jesus went to the Festival.
Jesus Teaches Openly at the Temple-John 10-24
There were a lot of people discussing Jesus. Some said He was a wonderful man, others said He is nothing but a fraud deceiving the people. But now one had the courage to speak favorably about him in public for they were afraid of getting in trouble with the Jewish leaders.
When Jesus began to speak in the Temple the Jewish leaders were surprised in how much he knew because they didn't think He hadn't studied as much as they did.
Jesus told them that He wasn't teaching His own ideas but those idea of the one that sent Him.
Jesus The Messiah-John 7:25-36
How could He be the Messiah the people knew from where He came. The Messiah, to them, was a person who would simply appear, no one will know where he comes from. There were many in the Temple that believed in Him. The priest sent Temple guards to arrest Jesus.
Jesus Promises Living Water-John 7:37-39
Division and Unbelief-John 7:40-53
The Pharisees mocked the Temple guards because they did not arrest Jesus and asked if they had been led astray too. For not one single one of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Jesus. The ignorant crowds do but what do they know about it. A curse on them anyway.
