After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn\'t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. |
2
|
Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand. |
3
|
His brothers therefore said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do. |
4
|
For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world." |
5
|
For even his brothers didn\'t believe in him. |
6
|
Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. |
7
|
The world can\'t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil. |
8
|
You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled." |
9
|
Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee. |
10
|
But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret. |
11
|
The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?" |
12
|
There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so, but he leads the multitude astray." |
13
|
Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews. |
14
|
But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught. |
15
|
The Jews therefore marveled, saying, "How does this man know letters, having never been educated?" |
16
|
Jesus therefore answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. |
17
|
If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself. |
18
|
He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. |
19
|
Didn\'t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?" |
20
|
The multitude answered, "You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?" |
21
|
Jesus answered them, "I did one work, and you all marvel because of it. |
22
|
Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy. |
23
|
If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man every bit whole on the Sabbath? |
24
|
Don\'t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment." |
25
|
Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Isn\'t this he whom they seek to kill? |
26
|
Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ? |
27
|
However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from." |
28
|
Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don\'t know. |
29
|
I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me." |
30
|
They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. |
31
|
But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, "When the Christ comes, he won\'t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?" |
32
|
The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him. |
33
|
Then Jesus said, "I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me. |
34
|
You will seek me, and won\'t find me; and where I am, you can\'t come." |
35
|
The Jews therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we won\'t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? |
36
|
What is this word that he said, \'You will seek me, and won\'t find me; and where I am, you can\'t come?\'" |
37
|
Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink! |
38
|
He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water." |
39
|
But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn\'t yet glorified. |
40
|
Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly the prophet." |
41
|
Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "What, does the Christ come out of Galilee? |
42
|
Hasn\'t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?" |
43
|
So there arose a division in the multitude because of him. |
44
|
Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him. |
45
|
The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why didn\'t you bring him?" |
46
|
The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man!" |
47
|
The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You aren\'t also led astray, are you? |
48
|
Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees? |
49
|
But this multitude that doesn\'t know the law is accursed." |
50
|
Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them, |
51
|
"Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?" |
52
|
They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee." |
53

Everyone went to his own house, |
