Every year Jewish men went to Jerusalem to celebrate the festival of Booths. Jesus’ brothers told him that he should go, but he did not want to go at that time. They thought that he should show himself to the world, but they did not believe in him.
Here are some other possible section headings:
Jesus’ brothers want him to go to the festival in Jerusalem
The unbelief of Jesus’ brothers
Jesus told his brothers that this was not the right time for him to go to Jerusalem.
Having said this, Jesus remained in Galilee.
Having said this, he stayed in Galilee.
And Jesus stayed in the province/area of Galilee for a while after he said this.
Having said this, Jesus remained in Galilee: In some languages it is more natural to reverse the order of the clauses in this sentence. For example:
Jesus stayed in Galilee after saying this.
Having said this: The word this refers to what Jesus just said to his brothers.There is a textual issue here. However, there is no real difference in meaning. Some Greek manuscripts have “to them” in this phrase. The KJV and the NASB follow those manuscripts. Many Greek manuscripts do not have “to them” in this phrase. The majority of English translations follow those manuscripts. For example: Having said this (NIV) In some languages it is natural to make either the subject or the object explicit. For example:
After Jesus said this to them
Jesus remained in Galilee: Jesus did not go with his brothers to Jerusalem for the festival. He remained in the province of Galilee, north of Judea, for a while longer, probably a few more days. In some languages it may be natural to indicate here that Galilee was a region or province. For example:
he stayed in the province of Galilee
7:1-52 This chapter is another account of Jesus during a Jewish festival, the Festival of Shelters. Jesus used elements of the festival to reveal his true identity to his Jewish compatriots and to show that he had fulfilled the festival’s essential meaning (see 7:37-39; 8:12).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
