Gen Z: John 7
1After these things, Jesus was vibing in Galilee, 'cause he wasn't trying to roll with the Jews who wanted him gone.
2So, the Jews' feast of tabernacles was coming up, no cap.
3His bros were like, "Yo, dip out and hit Judea so your squad can peep the lit stuff you're doing."
4No one does things in secret and wants to stay low-key. If you're about that life, show yourself to the world, periodt.
5But his bros were sus and didn't believe in him, fr.
6Jesus hit them with, "My time ain't here yet, but y'all are always ready to pop off."
7The world can't hate you; it’s me they can't stand, 'cause I'm calling out its shady vibes.
8Go up to the feast, I'm chillin' for now, 'cause my time ain't fully here yet.
9After he said that, he stayed in Galilee, just vibing.
10But once his bros bounced, he also went to the feast, but low-key, like it was a secret mission.
11The Jews were lowkey looking for him at the feast, asking, "Where he at?"
12There was a lot of chatter among the crowd about him: some were like, "He’s a good dude," while others were like, "Nah, he’s just playing us."
13But no one wanted to spill the tea about him 'cause they were scared of the Jews.
14In the middle of the feast, Jesus rolled up to the temple and started teaching.
15The Jews were shook, saying, "How does this guy know all this stuff without even hitting the books?"
16Jesus hit them with the reply, saying, "My vibe ain’t mine, it’s from the one who sent me."
17If anyone’s down to do his will, they’ll get the scoop on the doctrine, whether it’s from God or just me.
18The one who talks about themselves is just chasing clout, but the one who’s about the glory of the one who sent him is the real deal, no cap.
19Didn’t Moses drop the law on you, and yet none of you are keeping it? Why you tryna take me out?
20The crowd clapped back, "You got a demon! Who’s trying to take you out?"
21Jesus was like, "I did one dope thing, and y'all are shook."
22Moses gave y'all the whole circumcision deal; not his idea, but from the OGs; so you still do it on the Sabbath, right?
23If y'all can do circumcision on the Sabbath to keep the law, why are you mad at me for making a dude completely whole on the Sabbath?
24Don't judge by looks, fam; judge with that righteous vibe.
25Some peeps in Jerusalem were like, "Isn't this the dude they wanna cap?"
26But for real, he’s speaking with mad confidence, and they ain't saying a word. Do the leaders know this is the real deal Christ?
27We know where this guy is from, but when the Christ shows up, nobody knows where he’s from.
28Then Jesus popped off in the temple, saying, "Y'all know me and where I'm from; I'm not here on my own, but the one who sent me is legit, and you don’t know him."
29But I know him, 'cause I came from him, and he sent me.
30They tried to grab him, but no one could touch him, 'cause his time wasn't up yet.
31Mad people were vibing with him, saying, "When Christ shows up, he gotta pop off harder than this dude, right?"
32The Pharisees caught wind of the crowd's tea and sent their squad to scoop him up.
33Jesus was like, "I’m only here for a hot minute, then I’m out to the one who sent me."
34"You’ll be looking for me, but I’m ghosting: where I’m at, you can't roll up."
35The Jews were like, "Where’s he gonna dip to that we can’t find him? Is he hitting up the Gentiles to teach them?"
36"What’s up with this dude saying we’ll seek him but can’t find him? Where he at, we can’t come?"
37On the last day of the feast, Jesus stood up and yelled, "If anyone's thirsty, come through and drink!"
38"Whoever vibes with me, like the scripture says, will have rivers of living water flowing from within."
39(But he was talking about the Spirit, which those who believe in him would get: the Holy Ghost wasn’t dropped yet since Jesus hadn’t been glorified.)
40So a bunch of people, after hearing this, were like, "For real, this guy is the Prophet."
41Some were like, "This is the Christ," but others were sus, asking if the Christ could really come from Galilee.
42Didn't the scripture say that Christ comes from David's fam and is born in Bethlehem, where David repped?
43There was some serious drama among the people 'cause of him.
44Some wanted to grab him, but no one laid a hand on him, fr.
45The officers rolled up to the chief priests and Pharisees, like, "Why didn't you bring him?"
46The officers were like, "No cap, no one talks like this dude."
47The Pharisees shot back, "Y'all got played too?"
48Have any of the big shots or Pharisees actually believed in him?
49But this crowd that doesn’t know the law? Straight cursed.
50Nicodemus was like, "Yo, I'm one of them, and I came to Jesus at night."
51So like, does our law judge someone without hearing them out first? No cap.
52They were like, "Yo, you from Galilee too? Bet, check it: no prophet comes from there."
53And then everyone just dipped to their own crib.
