1 And after these things Jesus was going about in Galilee. For he did not want to go about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him.
2 Now the feast of the Jews—the feast of Tabernacles—was near.
3 So his brothers said to him, "Depart from here and go to Judea, so that your disciples also can see your works that you are doing.
4 For no one does anything in secret and yet he himself desires to be ⌊publicly recognized⌋.* If you are doing these things, reveal yourself to the world!"
5 (For not even his brothers believed in him.)
6 So Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I am testifying about it, that its deeds are evil.
8 You go up to the feast. I am not* going up to this feast, because my time is not yet completed.*
9 And when he* had said these things, he remained in Galilee.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but (as it were) in secret.
11 So the Jews were looking for him at the feast, and were saying, "Where is he?"
12 And there was a lot of grumbling concerning him among the crowds; some were saying, "He is a good man," but others were saying, "No, but he deceives the crowd."
13 However, no one was speaking openly about him for fear of the Jews.
14 ⌊Now when the feast was already half over⌋,* Jesus went to the temple courts* and began to teach.*
15 Then the Jews were astonished, saying, "How does this man ⌊possess knowledge⌋,* because he* has not been taught?"
16 So Jesus answered them and said, "My teaching is not mine, but is from the one who sent me.
17 If anyone wants to do his will, he will know about my* teaching, whether it is from God or I am speaking from myself.
18 The one who speaks from himself seeks his own glory. But the one who seeks the glory of the one who sent him—this one is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
19 Has not Moses given you the law, and none of you carries out the law? Why do you seek to kill me?"
20 The crowd replied, "You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?"
21 Jesus answered and said to them, "I performed one work, and you are all astonished.
22 Because of this Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses would not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a whole man well* on the Sabbath?
24 Do not judge according to outward appearance, but judge according to righteous judgment!"
25 Then some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem began to say,* "Is this not the one whom they are seeking to kill?
26 And behold, he is speaking openly and they are saying nothing to him! Can it be that the rulers truly know that this man is the Christ?
27 Yet we know where this man is from, but the Christ, whenever he comes—no one knows where he is from!"
28 Then Jesus cried out in the temple courts,* teaching and saying, "You both know me and you know where I am from! And I have not come from myself, but the one who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
29 I know him, because I am from him and he sent me."
30 So they were seeking to seize him, and no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31 But from the crowd many believed in him and were saying, "Whenever the Christ comes, he will not perform more signs than this man has done, will he?"*
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers in order ⌊to take him into custody ⌋.*
33 Then Jesus said, "Yet a little time I am with you, and I am going to the one who sent me.
34 You will seek me and will not find me,** and where I am, you cannot come."
35 So the Jews said to one another, "Where is this one going to go, that we will not find him? He is not going to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?*
36 What is this saying that he said, 'You will seek me and will not find me,** and where I am, you cannot come'?"
37 Now on the last day of the feast—the great day—Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and let him drink,
38 the one who believes in me.* Just as the scripture said, 'Out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.'"*
39 Now he said this concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were about to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given,* because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)
40 Then, when they* heard these words, some from the crowd began to say,* "This man is truly the Prophet!"
41 Others were saying, "This man is the Christ!" But others were saying, "No, for the Christ does not come from Galilee, does he?*
42 Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"
43 So there was a division in the crowd because of him.
44 And some of them were wanting to seize him, but no one laid hands on him.
45 So the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And they said to them, "⌊Why⌋* did you not bring him?"
46 The officers replied, "Never has a man spoken like this!"
47 Then the Pharisees replied to them, "You have not also been deceived, have you?*
48 ⌊None⌋* of the rulers or of the Pharisees have believed in him, have they?*
49 But this crowd who does not know the law is accursed!"
50 Nicodemus, the one who came to him previously—who was one of them—said to them,
51 "Our law does not condemn a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, does it?"*
52 They answered and said to him, "You are not also from Galilee, are you?* Investigate and see that a prophet does not arise from Galilee!"
53 And each one went to his own house.*

39 But the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but your inside is full of greediness and wickedness.
40 Fools! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also?
41 But give as charitable giving the things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.
42 "But woe to you, Pharisees, because you pay a tenth of mint and rue and every garden herb, and neglect justice and love for God! But it was necessary to do these things without neglecting those things also.
43 Woe to you, Pharisees, because you love the best seat in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces!
44 Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves, and the people who walk over them* do not know it!*
45 And one of the legal experts answered and* said to him, "Teacher, when you* say these things, you insult us also!"
46 So he said, "Woe to you also, legal experts, because you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers!
47 Woe to you, because you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them!
48 As a result you are witnesses, and you approve of the deeds of your fathers, because they killed them and you build their tombs!*
49 For this reason also the wisdom of God said, 'I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,'
50 so that the blood of all the prophets that has been shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the temple building.* Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation!
52 Woe to you, legal experts, because you have taken away the key to knowledge! You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering!"
53 And when* he departed from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly hostile, and to question him closely about many things,
54 plotting to catch him with reference to something ⌊he might say⌋.*
John 3:19
19 And this is the judgment: that the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.
John 15:18-19
John 15:23-25
23 The one who hates me hates my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not have sin. But now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this happened* so that the word that is written in their law would be fulfilled, 'They hated me without a reason.'
John 17:14
14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world just as I am not of the world.
Acts 5:28-33
28 saying, "⌊We strictly commanded⌋* you* not to teach in this name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching! And you are intending to bring upon us the blood of this man!"
29 But Peter and the apostles answered and* said, "It is necessary to obey God rather than men!
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed by* hanging him* on a tree.
31 This one God has exalted to his right hand as Leader and Savior to grant repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
32 And we are witnesses of these things, and so is* the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him."
33 Now when* they heard this,* they were infuriated, and were wanting to execute them.
Acts 7:51-54
51 "You stiff-necked people and uncircumcised in hearts and in your* ears! You constantly resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so also do you!
52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand about the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become,
53 you who received the law by directions of angels and have not observed it!"
54 Now when they* heard these things, they were infuriated in their hearts and gnashed their* teeth at him.
Romans 8:7
7 because the mindset of the flesh is enmity toward God, for it is not subjected to the law of God, for it is not able to do so,

16 So then, have I become your enemy by* being truthful to you?
James 4:4

5 They are from the world; ⌊therefore⌋* they speak from the world and the world listens to them.
Revelation 11:5-11
5 And if anyone wants to harm them, fire comes out of their mouth and consumes their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, in this way he must be killed.
6 These have the authority to shut the sky, so that ⌊it does not rain⌋* during the days of their prophecy. And they have authority over the waters, to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with every plague as often as they wish.
7 And when they have completed their testimony, the beast that comes up from the abyss will make war with them and will conquer them and will kill them.
8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which is called symbolically Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
9 And those from peoples and tribes and languages and nations will see their dead bodies three and a half days, and they will not allow their dead bodies to be placed in a tomb.
10 And those who live on the earth will rejoice over them, and will celebrate and will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who live on the earth.
11 And after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.

John 7:25-27
25 Then some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem began to say,* "Is this not the one whom they are seeking to kill?
26 And behold, he is speaking openly and they are saying nothing to him! Can it be that the rulers truly know that this man is the Christ?
27 Yet we know where this man is from, but the Christ, whenever he comes—no one knows where he is from!"
John 7:32
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers in order ⌊to take him into custody ⌋.*
John 7:40-43
40 Then, when they* heard these words, some from the crowd began to say,* "This man is truly the Prophet!"
41 Others were saying, "This man is the Christ!" But others were saying, "No, for the Christ does not come from Galilee, does he?*
42 Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

John 7:47
47 Then the Pharisees replied to them, "You have not also been deceived, have you?*

John 10:19-21
19 Again there was a division among the Jews because of these words.
20 And many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is out of his mind! Why do you listen to him?"

Galatians 2:12-13

9 in connection with which I suffer misfortune to the point of ⌊imprisonment⌋* as a criminal, but the word of God is not bound.

11 The saying is trustworthy:

54 Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. The one who glorifies me is my Father, about whom you say, 'He is our God.'

4 And when he* heard it,* Jesus said, "This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified through it."

John 17:4-5
1 Corinthians 10:31-33
31 Therefore, whether you eat or you drink or whatever you do, do all things for the glory of God.
32 ⌊Give no offense⌋* both to Jews and to Greeks and to the church of God,
33 just as I also please all people in all things, not seeking my own benefit, but the benefit of the many, in order that they may be saved.
Galatians 6:12-14
12 As many as are wanting to make a good showing in the flesh, these are attempting to compel* you to be circumcised, only so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13 For not even those who are circumcised observe the law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised in order that they may boast in your flesh.
14 But as for me, may it never be that I boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Philippians 2:3-5
3 Do nothing according to selfish ambition or according to empty conceit, but in humility considering one another better than yourselves,
4 each of you* not looking out for ⌊your own interests⌋*, but also each of you for ⌊the interests⌋* of others.
5 Think this in* yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,
6 nor seeking glory from people, neither from you nor from others.
1 Peter 4:11
11 If anyone speaks, let it be as the oracles of God; if anyone serves, let it be as by the strength that God provides, so that in all things God will be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the power ⌊forever and ever⌋*. Amen.
Exodus 24:2-3
2 And Moses ⌊alone⌋* will come near to Yahweh, and they will not come near, and the people will not go up with him."
3 And Moses came, and he told the people all the words of Yahweh and all the regulations. And all the people answered with one voice, and they said, "All the words that Yahweh has spoken we will do."
Deuteronomy 1:17
17 You must not ⌊be partial⌋* ⌊in your judgment⌋; * hear out the small person as also the great person; ⌊do not be intimidated by any person⌋,* because the judgment is God's; and the case that is too difficult* for you, bring it to me, and I will hear it out.'
Deuteronomy 33:4
4 A law Moses instructed for us, as a possession for the assembly of Jacob.
Psalms 2:1-6
1 Why are nations in tumult, and countries plotting* in vain?*
2 The kings of the earth establish themselves, and the rulers conspire* together against Yahweh and his anointed:
3 "Let us tear off their bonds, and cast their cords from us!"
4 He who sits enthroned in the heavens laughs. The Lord derides them.
5 Then he speaks to them in his wrath, and in his fury he terrifies them:
6 "But as for me, I have set my king on Zion, my holy mountain."
Matthew 12:14
14 But the Pharisees went out ⌊and plotted⌋* against him in order that they could destroy him.
Matthew 23:2-4
2 saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees sit on the seat of Moses.
3 Therefore do and observe everything that they tell you, but do not do as ⌊they do⌋,* for they tell others to do something* and do not do it themselves.*
4 And they tie up heavy burdens* and put them* on people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing with their finger to move them.
Mark 3:4
4 And he said to them, "Is it permitted on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they were silent.
Mark 3:6
6 And the Pharisees went out immediately with the Herodians ⌊and began to conspire⌋* against him with regard to how they could destroy him.
John 1:17
17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ.
John 5:16
16 And on account of this the Jews began to persecute* Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.
John 5:18
18 So on account of this the Jews were seeking even more to kill him, because he not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God his own Father, thus* making himself equal with God.
John 5:45
45 Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father! The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have put your hope!
John 7:1
1 And after these things Jesus was going about in Galilee. For he did not want to go about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him.
John 9:28-29
John 10:31-32
John 10:39
39 So they were seeking again to seize him, and he departed out of their hand.
John 11:53
53 So from that day they resolved that they should kill him.
Acts 7:38
38 This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and who with our fathers received living oracles to give to us,
Romans 2:12-13
Romans 2:17-29
17 But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast in God
18 and know his will and approve the things that are superior, because you* are instructed by the law,
19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of those in darkness,
20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
21 Therefore, the one who teaches someone else, do you not teach yourself? The one who preaches not to steal, do you steal?
22 The one who says not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? The one who abhors idols, do you rob temples?
23 Who boast in the law, by the transgression of the law you dishonor God!*
24 For just as it is written, "The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you."*
25 For circumcision is of value if you do the law, but if you should be a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26 Therefore, if the uncircumcised person follows the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be credited for circumcision?
27 And the uncircumcised person by nature who carries out the law will judge you who, though provided with ⌊the precise written code⌋* and circumcision are a transgressor of the law.
28 For the Jew is not ⌊one outwardly⌋*, nor is circumcision ⌊outwardly⌋*, in the flesh.
29 But the Jew ⌊is one inwardly⌋*, and circumcision is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter, whose praise is not from people but from God.
Romans 3:10-23
10 just as it is written,
"There is no one righteous, not even one; 11 there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. 12 All have turned aside together; they have become worthless; There is no one who practices kindness; there is not even one.* 13 Their throat is an opened grave; they deceive with their tongues; the venom of asps is under their lips,* 14 whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.* 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood; 16 destruction and distress are in their paths, 17 and they have not known the way of peace.* 18 The fear of God is not before their eyes."* 19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those under the law, in order that every mouth may be closed and the whole world may become accountable to God. 20 For by the works of the law ⌊no person will be declared righteous⌋* before him, for through the law comes knowledge of sin. 21 But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified about by the law and the prophets— 22 that is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ* to all who believe. For there is no distinction, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
"There is no one righteous, not even one; 11 there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. 12 All have turned aside together; they have become worthless; There is no one who practices kindness; there is not even one.* 13 Their throat is an opened grave; they deceive with their tongues; the venom of asps is under their lips,* 14 whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.* 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood; 16 destruction and distress are in their paths, 17 and they have not known the way of peace.* 18 The fear of God is not before their eyes."* 19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those under the law, in order that every mouth may be closed and the whole world may become accountable to God. 20 For by the works of the law ⌊no person will be declared righteous⌋* before him, for through the law comes knowledge of sin. 21 But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified about by the law and the prophets— 22 that is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ* to all who believe.

Galatians 3:19
19 Why then the law? It was added on account of transgressions, until the descendant should come to whom it had been promised, having been ordered through angels by the hand of a mediator.
Galatians 6:13
13 For not even those who are circumcised observe the law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised in order that they may boast in your flesh.
Hebrews 3:3-5
3 For this one is considered worthy of greater glory than Moses, inasmuch as the one who builds it has greater honor than the house.
4 For every house is built by someone, but the one who built all things is God.
5 And Moses was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony to the things that would be spoken,
Matthew 11:18-19
Matthew 12:24
24 But the Pharisees, when they* heard it,* said, "This man does not expel demons except by Beelzebul the ruler of demons!"
Mark 3:21-22
Mark 3:30
30 because they were saying, "He has an unclean spirit."
John 8:48
48 The Jews answered and said to him, "Do we not correctly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"
John 8:52
52 The Jews* said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham and the prophets died, and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death ⌊forever⌋.'*
John 10:20
20 And many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is out of his mind! Why do you listen to him?"
John 5:2-11
John 5:5-11
5 And a certain man was there who had been thirty-eight years in his sickness.
6 Jesus, when he* saw this one lying there and knew that he had been sick* a long time already, said to him, "Do you want to become well?"
7 The one who was sick answered him, "Sir, I do not have anyone that, whenever the water is stirred up, could put me into the pool. But ⌊while⌋* I am coming, another goes down before me."
8 Jesus said to him, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk!"
9 And immediately the man became well and picked up his mat and began to walk.* (Now it was the Sabbath on that day.)
10 So the Jews were saying to the one who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath, and it is not permitted for you to pick up the mat!"*
11 But he answered them, "The one who made me well—that one said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk!'"
John 7:23
23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses would not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a whole man well* on the Sabbath?
Genesis 17:10-14
10 This is my covenant which you shall keep, between me and you, and also with* your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
11 And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
12 And ⌊at eight days of age⌋* you shall yourselves circumcise every male belonging to your generations and ⌊the servant born in your house and the one bought from any foreigner⌋* who is not from your offspring.
13 ⌊You must certainly circumcise⌋* ⌊the servant born in your house and the one bought from any foreigner⌋.* And my covenant shall be with your flesh as an everlasting covenant.
14 And as for any uncircumcised male who has not circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his* people. He has broken my covenant.
Leviticus 12:3
3 And on the eighth day his foreskin's flesh shall be circumcised.
Romans 4:9-11
9 Therefore, is this blessing for ⌊those who are circumcised⌋*, or also for ⌊those who are uncircumcised⌋*? For we say, "Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness."*
10 How then was it credited? While he* was ⌊circumcised⌋* or ⌊uncircumcised⌋*? Not ⌊while circumcised⌋* but ⌊while uncircumcised⌋*!
11 And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal* of the righteousness by faith which he had ⌊while uncircumcised⌋*, so that he could be the father of all who believe ⌊although they are uncircumcised⌋*, so that righteousness could be credited to them,*
Galatians 3:17
17 Now I am saying this: the law, that came after four hundred and thirty years, does not revoke a covenant previously ratified by God, in order to nullify the promise.
Matthew 12:2
2 But when* the Pharisees saw it,* they said to him, "Behold, your disciples are doing what it is not permitted to do on the Sabbath!"
Matthew 12:5
5 Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple violate the sanctity of the Sabbath and are guiltless?
John 5:8-9
John 5:14-16
14 After these things Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, "Look, you have become well! Sin no longer, lest something worse happen to you."
15 The man went and reported to the Jews that Jesus was the one who made him well.
16 And on account of this the Jews began to persecute* Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.
Leviticus 19:15
15 " 'You* shall not do injustice in judgment; ⌊you* shall not show partiality to the powerless⌋;* you* shall not give preference ⌊to the powerful⌋;* you* shall judge your* fellow citizen with justice.
Deuteronomy 1:16-17
16 And at that time I instructed your judges, saying, '⌊hear out your fellow men⌋,* and then judge fairly* between a man and between his brother and between ⌊his opponent who is a resident alien⌋.*
17 You must not ⌊be partial⌋* ⌊in your judgment⌋; * hear out the small person as also the great person; ⌊do not be intimidated by any person⌋,* because the judgment is God's; and the case that is too difficult* for you, bring it to me, and I will hear it out.'
Deuteronomy 16:18-19
18 "You shall appoint judges and officials for you in all your ⌊towns⌋* that Yahweh your God is giving to you throughout your tribes, and you shall render for the people ⌊righteous judgments⌋.*
19 You shall not subvert* justice; you shall not ⌊show partiality⌋;* and you shall not take a bribe, for the bribe makes blind the eyes of the wise and misrepresents the words of the righteous.

2 "How long will you judge unjustly and ⌊show favoritism to the wicked⌋?* Selah

Isaiah 5:23
23 Those who acquit the guilty because of a bribe and remove the justice of the innocent from him.
Isaiah 11:3-4
3 And his ⌊breath⌋* is in the fear of Yahweh. And he shall judge not by his eyesight, and he shall rebuke not by ⌊what he hears with⌋* his ears.
4 But he shall judge the poor with righteousness, and he shall decide for the needy of the earth with rectitude. And he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and he shall kill the wicked person with the breath of his lips.

15 You judge according to externals; I do not judge anyone.

John 7:10-11
Psalms 40:9-10
9 I have brought good tidings of righteousness in the great congregation. Look, I have not shut my lips. O Yahweh, ⌊you surely know that⌋.*

Luke 7:30
30 but the Pharisees and the legal experts rejected the purpose of God for themselves, because they* had not been baptized by him.)
John 7:48
John 11:47-53
47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin and said, "What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs!
48 If we allow him to go on in this way, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place* and our* nation."
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas (who was high priest in that year), said to them, "You do not know anything at all!
50 Nor do you consider that it is profitable for you that one man should die for the people, and the whole nation not perish."
51 (Now he did not say this from himself, but being high priest in that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,
52 and not for the nation only, but also that the children of God who are scattered would be gathered into one.)
53 So from that day they resolved that they should kill him.
John 12:42

Matthew 13:54-57
54 And he came to his hometown and* began to teach* them in their synagogue, so that they were amazed and said, "From where did this man get this wisdom and these miracles?
55 Is not this one the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother called Mary and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

Hosea 6:3-6
3 Let us know, let us press on to know Yahweh; his rising is sure like the dawn. He will come like the showers to us, like the spring rain that waters the earth.
4 What will I do with you, O Ephraim? What will I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes away early in the morning.
5 Therefore, I have hewn them by the prophets; I have killed them by the words of my mouth, and my judgment* goes forth like the light.
6 Because I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, and knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

John 8:54-55
John 10:36
36 do you say about he whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

49 For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father himself who sent me ⌊has commanded me⌋* what I should say and what I should speak.

"In order that you may be justified in your words, and may prevail when you are* judged."*

Titus 1:2
2 in the hope of eternal life which God, who does not lie, promised before eternal ages,

1 John 2:3-4
1 John 5:10
10 (The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. The one who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning his Son.)
John 1:18
18 No one has seen God at any time; the one and only, God, the one who is in the bosom of the Father—that one has made him* known.
John 3:16-17
16 For in this way God loved the world, so that he gave his one and only Son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world in order that he should judge* the world, but in order that the world should be saved through him.

46 (Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God—this one has seen the Father.)*

John 10:15
15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.

27 When your panic comes like a storm, and your calamity arrives like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you,
28 then they will call* me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but not find me.
29 Since they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of Yahweh,

23 And he said to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are from this world; I am not from this world.
24 Thus I said to you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."

5 And he measured a thousand cubits,* and it became a stream that I was not able to cross, because the water rose, ⌊waters a person could swim in⌋,* and became a stream that could not be crossed.
6 And he asked me, "Son of man,* did you see this?" And he made me go, and he brought me back along the bank of the stream.
7 ⌊When I returned⌋,* then look! On the bank of the river were many trees ⌊on both sides⌋.*
8 And he said to me, "These waters are going out to the eastern region, and they go down to the ⌊Jordan Valley⌋,* and they come to the sea* and flow into the sea where ⌊they issue out⌋,* and the waters in the sea will be healed.*
9 And then every living creature with which it teems,* ⌊to every place the waters come⌋* it will live; and very many fish will live because these waters came there, and so the water will be healed* and everything will be alive ⌊everywhere that⌋* ⌊the stream will come⌋.*
10 And then fishers* from En Gedi and on up to En Eglaim will stand beside it, a sea-girt drying yard for nets; their fish for the dragnets will be ⌊of every kind⌋,* like the fish of the great sea,* and very many.
11 But its marshes and its swamps will not be cured, for they were given for salt.
12 And along the stream will go up on its banks ⌊from both sides⌋* every tree ⌊producing food⌋;* its leaf will not wither and it will not cease producing its fruit. ⌊Every month⌋* it will bear early fruit, for its waters are going out from the sanctuary, and its fruit will be as food, and its leaf for healing."

29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from."
30 The man answered and said to them, "For the remarkable thing is this, that you do not know where he is from, and he opened my eyes!

1 Corinthians 1:20
20 Where is the wise person? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
1 Corinthians 1:22-28
22 For indeed, Jews ask for sign miracles and Greeks seek wisdom,
23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a cause for stumbling, but to the Gentiles foolishness,
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom,* and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.*
26 For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise according to human standards,* not many were powerful, not many were well born.
27 But the foolish things of the world God chose in order that he might put to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world God chose in order that he might put to shame the strong,
28 and the insignificant of the world, and the despised, God chose, the things that are not, in order that he might abolish the things that are,

Those who make a plan deep, to hide it from Yahweh, and their deeds are* in a dark place. And they say, "Who sees us? And who knows us?" 16 Your perversity! As if ⌊a potter⌋* shall be regarded as the clay! That the product of its maker says, "He did not make me," and the thing made into shape says of its ⌊potter⌋,* "He has no understanding." 17 ⌊In a very little while⌋* shall not Lebanon change into a fruitful land, and the fruitful land be regarded as a forest? 18 And on that day, the deaf shall hear the words of a scroll, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of gloom and darkness. 19 And the meek ⌊have joy after joy⌋* in Yahweh, and the needy of the people shall rejoice in the holy one of Israel.

1 Corinthians 3:18-20
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks himself to be wise among you in this age, let him become a fool, in order that he may become wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it is written, "The one who catches the wise in their craftiness,"*
20 and again, "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile."*
James 3:13-18
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his* good behavior his works, with the humility of wisdom.
14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and tell lies against the truth.
15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
16 For where there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there is disorder and every evil practice.
17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, obedient, full of mercy and good fruits, nonjudgmental, without hypocrisy,
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace among* those who make peace.

10 "And ⌊you shall carry out exactly the decision⌋* that they announced to you from that place that Yahweh will choose, and ⌊you shall diligently observe⌋* according to all that they instruct you.
