John 7

Jesus goes to the Feast of Tabernacles

 The word Sukkoth means "booths," and refers to the temporary dwellings that Jews are commanded to live in during this holiday, just as the Jews did in the wilderness. The Feast of Tabernacles lasted for seven days and ends on the twenty-first day (3x7) of the Hebrew month of Tishri, which is Israel's seventh month.
(Zondervan)

Jesus teaches at the Feast

John 7:25    At that point some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask, "Isn't this the man they are trying to kill? 26 Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities really concluded that he is the Christ ? 27  John 7:27    But we know where this man is from; when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from."
John 7:28    Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, "Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. I am not here on my own, but he who sent me is true. You do not know him,
John 7:29    But I know him because I am from him and he sent me."

People are now asking is He the Christ ?

John 7:37     On the last and greatest day of the Feast,t<javascript:void(0);> Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.

One of the most quoted passages among believers

John 7:38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him."
John 7:39  By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.


Chief priests and Pharisees  do not believe
John 7:47 "You mean he has deceived you also?" the Pharisees retorted. 48 "Has any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?
John 7:49     No! But this mob that knows nothing of the law—there is a curse on them."
John 7:50    Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked,
John 7:51    "Does our law condemn anyone without first hearing him to find out what he is doing?"
John 7:52    They replied, "Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee."
