7:10 Yeshua starts teaching about authentic justice

10 But after his half-brothers had left to go down to Yerushalem, Yeshua also went—not in the public limelight but just incognito so to speak. 11 However at the celebrations, the Jewish religious leaders were searching for him, and were asking around where he was.

12 Even among the crowds there was a lot of quiet banter with some saying that Yeshua is a good man and others complaining that he was misleading the people. 13 Either way, no one was speaking out in public about him, because they were afraid of the reaction of the religious leaders.

14 Finally sometime in the middle of the celebrations, Yeshua went into the temple and started teaching in there. 15 Even the Jewish leaders were surprised, asking, “How can this man know so much when he hasn’t been trained as a teacher?”

16 Yeshua himself responded, “My teaching doesn’t come from me, but from the one who sent me. 17 If anyone wants to do God’s will, they’ll soon figure out whether my teaching comes from God or if I’m just making it up myself. 18 Any person who just teaches their own thoughts is just seeking their own advancement, but anyone who wants to promote the one who sent them, this is authentic and there’s no hidden self-interest. 19 Didn’t Mosheh write down God’s commandments for you, yet not a single one of you obeys them. Why are you wanting to execute me?”

20 “You must be demon-possessed,” said some in the crowd, “Who would be wanting to execute you.”

21 Yeshua responded, “I did one miracle and you were all amazed. 22 [ref]Mosheh gave you the commandment about circumcision (even though it actually came from before his time), but to obey this, you’ll even circumcise a baby boy on the Rest Day. 23 [ref]So if a baby boy can be circumcised on the Rest Day so that Mosheh’ commandments aren’t broken, they why did you get angry with me because I made a man healthy on the Rest Day? 24 Don’t just ‘judge’ things so that you yourselves look good, but judge impartially, seeking the best for others.”

7:22: a Lev 12:3; b Gen 17:10.

7:23: Yhn 5:9.

10 But when the brothers of _him went _up to the feast, then he also went _up, not openly, but as in secret.
11 Therefore the Youdaiōns were _seeking him at the feast, and they _were _saying:
Where is that one?
12 And there _was much grumbling concerning him among the crowds.
The ones on _one _hand were _saying, that He _is good, on _the _other _hand others were _saying:
No, but he _is _deceiving the crowd.
13 No _one however was _speaking in _public concerning him, because _of the fear of _the Youdaiōns.
14 But now being _middle of _the feast, Yaʸsous went _up into the temple and was _teaching.
15 Therefore the Youdaiōns were _marvelling saying:
How has_ this one _known letters, not having _learned?
16 Therefore Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) answered to _them and said:
- my teaching not is mine, but of _the one having _sent me.
17 If anyone may _be _wanting to _be _practicing the will of _him, he _will _be _knowing concerning the teaching, whether it _is from the god, or I am _speaking from myself.
18 The one speaking from himself, is _seeking the his own glory, but the one seeking the glory of _the one having _sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him.
19 has_ Not Mōsaʸs/(Mosheh) _given to _you _all the law, and no _one of you _all is _practicing the law?
Why you _all _are _seeking to _kill_ me _off?
20 The crowd answered:
You _are _having a_demon, who is _seeking to _kill_ you _off?
21 Yaʸsous answered and said to _them:
I _did one work and you _all_ all _are _marvelling.
22 Because _of this Mōsaʸs has _given to _you _all the circumcision (not that is of the Mōsaʸs, but of the fathers), and on the_day _of _rest you _all _are _circumcising a_man.
23 If a_man is _receiving circumcision on the_day _of _rest, in _order _that the law of _Mōsaʸs may_ not _be _broken, you _all _are _angry with _me because I _made a_man whole healthy on the_day _of _rest?
24 Be_ not _judging according _to appearance, but be _judging the righteous judgment.

Jesus’ Final Journey to Jerusalem

Much like the difficulties of discerning the Israelites’ journey to the Promised Land (see here), the task of reconciling the four Gospel accounts of Jesus’ final journey to Jerusalem into one coherent itinerary has proven very challenging for Bible scholars. As with many other events during Jesus’ ministry, the accounts of Matthew, Mark, and Luke (often referred to as the Synoptic Gospels) present a noticeably similar account of Jesus’ final travels, while John’s Gospel presents an itinerary that is markedly different from the others. In general, the Synoptic Gospels present Jesus as making a single journey to Jerusalem, beginning in Capernaum (Luke 9:51), passing through Perea (Matthew 19:1-2; Mark 10:1) and Jericho (Matthew 20:29-34; Mark 10:46-52; Luke 18:35-19:10), and ending at Bethany and Bethphage, where he enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey (Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-44). John, on the other hand, mentions several trips to Jerusalem by Jesus (John 2:13-17; 5:1-15; 7:1-13; 10:22-23), followed by a trip to Perea across the Jordan River (John 10:40-42), a return to Bethany where he raises Lazarus from the dead (John 11), a withdrawal to the village of Ephraim for a few months (John 11:54), and a return trip to Bethany, where he then enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey (John 12:1-19). The differences between the Synoptics’ and John’s accounts are noteworthy, but they are not irreconcilable. The Synoptics, after noting that Jesus began his trip at Capernaum, likely condensed their accounts (as occurs elsewhere in the Gospels) to omit Jesus’ initial arrival in Jerusalem and appearance at the Festival of Dedication, thus picking up with Jesus in Perea (stage 2 of John’s itinerary). Then all the Gospels recount Jesus’ trip (back) to Bethany and Jerusalem, passing through Jericho along the way. Likewise, the Synoptics must have simply omitted the few months Jesus spent in Ephraim to escape the Jewish leaders (stage 4 of John’s itinerary) and rejoined John’s account where Jesus is preparing to enter Jerusalem on a donkey.
