1 Jesus stayed in Galilee. He did not go to Judea, because men there wanted to kill Him. ♂️⛔ 2 It was time for a big party for God in Judea. 3 His brothers told Him, “Go to Judea so Your friends can see Your work.” ➡️ 4 They said, “Do not hide. Show Yourself to all.” 5 His brothers did not believe in Him. 6 Jesus said, <jesus>My time is not now. Your time can be any time.</jesus> ⏰ 7 Jesus said, <jesus>The world does not hate you. It hates Me. I say its ways are bad.</jesus> ⚠️ 8 Jesus said, <jesus>You go to the party. I am not going now. My time is not yet.</jesus> ⏳♂️ 9 He stayed in Galilee after He said this. 10 His brothers went first. Later, Jesus went too, but He went in secret. ♂️ 11 The leaders looked for Him at the party and asked, “Where is He?” ❓ 12 People whispered about Him. Some said He is good. Others said He tricks people. ️ 13 No one spoke loud about Him, because they were afraid of the leaders. 14 In the middle of the party, Jesus went to God’s house and taught. ⛪ 15 The leaders were amazed. They said, “How does He know so much? He did not learn with us.” 16 Jesus said, <jesus>My teaching is not Mine. It is from God who sent Me.</jesus> ☝️ 17 Jesus said, <jesus>If you want what God wants, you will know My teaching is from God, not just from Me.</jesus> 18 Jesus said, <jesus>If a man talks for himself, he wants praise. I want praise for Him who sent Me. I am true. I do no wrong.</jesus> ⭐ 19 Jesus said, <jesus>Moses gave you God’s rules, but you do not keep them. Why do you want to kill Me?</jesus> ❓ 20 The crowd said He had a bad spirit and asked, “Who wants to kill You?” 21 Jesus said, <jesus>I did one big work, and you all are amazed.</jesus> ✨ 22 Jesus said, <jesus>Moses said to do a small cut for baby boys. You do it even on the rest day.</jesus> ✂️ 23 Jesus said, <jesus>You do that on the rest day so the rule is not broken. Why are you mad at Me for making a man well on the rest day?</jesus> ❤️ 24 Jesus said, <jesus>Do not judge by looks. Judge in a right way.</jesus> ➡️ 25 People in the city said, “Is this the Man they want to kill?” ️❓ 26 They said, “Look, He talks bold, and no one stops Him. Do the leaders know He is God’s chosen king?” ️ 27 They said, “We know where He is from. When God’s chosen king comes, no one will know where He is from.” ❓ 28 Jesus cried out in God’s house, <jesus>You know Me and where I am from. I did not come by Myself. God sent Me. You do not know Him.</jesus> ⛪ 29 Jesus said, <jesus>I know Him. I am from Him. He sent Me.</jesus> ❤️☝️ 30 They tried to grab Him, but no one touched Him, because His time had not come. ✋⏰ 31 Many people believed in Him. They said, “When God’s chosen king comes, will He do more signs than Jesus?” ✨ 32 The leaders heard the crowd talk. The top leaders sent guards to take Him. ️➡️️ 33 Jesus said, <jesus>I will be with you a little time. Then I will go back to Him who sent Me.</jesus> ⏳⬆️ 34 Jesus said, <jesus>You will look for Me and not find Me. Where I am, you cannot come.</jesus> 35 The leaders said, “Where will He go so we cannot find Him? Will He go to far people and teach them?” ️❓ 36 They said, “What does He mean, ‘You will look for Me and not find Me’ and ‘Where I am you cannot come’?” ♂️ 37 On the last big day of the party, Jesus stood and called out, <jesus>If you are thirsty, come to Me and drink.</jesus> 38 Jesus said, <jesus>If you believe in Me, you will have life like rivers of water inside. The Holy Book said this.</jesus> ❤️ 39 He meant God’s Holy Spirit. People who trust Him would get God’s Holy Spirit. It was not time yet. Jesus was not lifted up yet. ️⏳ 40 Many in the crowd said, “This Man is truly God’s messenger.” ️✨ 41 Others said, “This Man is God’s chosen king.” But some said, “Will God’s chosen king come from Galilee?” ❓ 42 They said, “The Holy Book says God’s chosen king comes from David’s family and from Bethlehem, David’s town.” 43 So the crowd was split because of Him. ↔️ 44 Some wanted to grab Him, but no one touched Him. ✋ 45 The guards went back to the top leaders. The leaders asked, “Why did you not bring Him?” ️❓ 46 The guards said, “No man ever spoke like Him!” 47 The leaders said, “Are you tricked too?” 48 They said, “Do any leaders believe in Him?” ♂️♀️❓ 49 They said, “This crowd does not know the rules. They are wrong.” 50 Nicodemus, a leader who once came to Jesus at night, spoke. ️ 51 He said, “Our rules say we must hear a man first and know what he did.” ✅ 52 They said to him, “Are you from Galilee too? Check the book! No messenger comes from Galilee.” ❌ 53 Then everyone went home.
