1
And after these··things Jesus was walking in Galilee, for◦ He was not willing to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.
2
And◦ the festival of the Jews, the Festival of Tabernacles, was near.
3
His brothers then◦ said◦ to Him, Pass··on hence, and go◦ into Judea, that Thy disciples may behold Thy works which Thou doest.
4
For◦ no··one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be in the open. If Thou do these··things, manifest Thyself to the world.
5
For neither did His brothers believe in Him.
6
Then◦ Jesus says to them, My time is· not··yet ·here, but◦ your time is always ready.
7
The world cannot hate you, but◦ Me it hates, because I testify about it, that its works are wicked.
8
You go··up to◦ this festival; I◦ am not··yet going··up to◦ this festival, because My time has not··yet been fulfilled.
9
And◦ having said these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
10
And◦ when◦ His brothers went··up, then He Himself also went··up to◦ the festival, not openly◦, but as in secret.
11
Then◦ the Jews sought Him at▫ the festival, and said, Where is He▵?
12
And there was much murmuring about Him in the crowds; indeed some said, He is good; but◦ others said, No, but He deceives the crowd.
13
However no··one spoke openly about Him for▫ fear of the Jews.
14
And◦ it··being· already ·the··midst of the festival, Jesus went··up into the temple and taught.
15
And the Jews marveled, saying, How knows◦ this man letters, not◦ having learned?
16
Jesus answered them, and said, My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.
17
If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know about the teaching, whether it be of God, or whether I speak from Myself.
18
He who speaks from himself seeks his··own▵ glory, but◦ He who seeks the glory of Him who sent Him, He◦ is true, and injustice is not in Him.
19
Did not Moses give you the Law, and none of you does the Law? Why do you seek to kill Me?
20
The crowd answered and said, Thou hast a demon; who seeks to kill Thee?
21
Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and you all marvel.
22
On··account··of this Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on a Sabbath you circumcise a man.
23
If a man on a Sabbath receive circumcision, that the Law of Moses should not be broken*, are you bitter toward Me because I have made the whole man well on a Sabbath?
24
Judge not◦ according··to the face◦, but judge the just judgment.
25
Then some of the Jerusalemites said, Is this not He whom they seek to kill?
26
And see◦! He speaks openly, and they say nothing to Him. Therefore· have ·not the rulers truly recognized that this is truly the Christ?
27
But this Man, we know◦ whence He is, but◦ when the Christ comes, no one knows whence He is.
28
Then◦ cried··out Jesus in the temple teaching, and saying, You both· know◦ ·Me, and you know◦ whence I am! And I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you know◦ not.
29
But◦ I◦ know◦ Him, because I am with◦ Him, and··He▵ has sent◦ Me.
30
Therefore they sought to lay··hold of Him, and no··one cast a hand on Him, for His hour had not··yet come.
31
And◦ many of the crowd believed in Him and said, When Christ comes, will He do greater signs than these which this Man has done?
32
The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these··things concerning Him; and the Pharisees and the chief··priests sent··out attendants to▵ lay··hold of Him.
33
Then◦ Jesus said◦ to them, Yet a little time◦ I am with you, and I go◦ to Him who sent Me.
34
You shall seek Me, and shall not find; and where I am, you cannot come.
35
Then◦ the Jews said◦ among themselves, Whither is· He◦ ·about to go, that we shall not find Him? Is· He ·about to go to◦ the dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
36
What word is this that He said, You shall seek Me, and shall not find, and where I am, you cannot come?
37
And◦ in the last day, the great day of the festival, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If anyone thirst, let him come to Me, and drink!
38
He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39
But◦ this said He of the Spirit, which they who believe in Him were about to receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not··yet glorified*.
40
Many of the crowd, then◦, hearing the word, said, This is truly the Prophet.
41
Others said, This is the Christ. But◦ others said, No◦, for◦ does the Christ come out··of Galilee?
42
Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes out of the seed of David, and out of Bethlehem, the village where David was?
43
So there was a schism among the crowd, because of Him.
44
And◦ some of them willed to lay··hold of Him, but no··one cast their hands on Him.
45
Then◦ the attendants came to the chief··priests and Pharisees, and they said◦ to them, Why◦ did ye not bring◦ Him?
46
The attendants answered, Never a man spoke like this Man.
47
Then the Pharisees answered them, Are you not also deceived?
48
Has anyone of the rulers believed in◦ Him, or of the Pharisees?
49
But this crowd, who know not the Law, are cursed.
50
Nicodemus says to them, he who came to Him by night, being one of them,
51
Does our law judge a man, unless it first hear from him and know what he does?
52
They answered and said to him, Art thou also out of Galilee? Search and look; for out of Galilee no prophet has arisen.
