Jesus Teaches at the Feast of Booths

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:3 - Therefore His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go into Judea, so that Your disciples also may see Your works which You are doing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:4 - “For no one does anything in secret [fn]when he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself publicly to the world.”

So some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Is this not the man whom they are seeking to kill?

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:28 - Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:29 - “I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 7:37 -
