| 1 | After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. |
| 2 | Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand. |
| 3 | And his brethren said to him: Pass from hence, and go into Judea; that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost. |
| 4 | For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world. |
| 5 | For neither did his brethren believe in him. |
| 6 | Then Jesus said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready. |
| 7 | The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth: because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil. |
| 8 | Go you up to this festival day, but I go not up to this festival day: because my time is not accomplished. |
| 9 | When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee. |
| 10 | But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret. |
| 11 | The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day, and said: Where is he? |
| 12 | And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth the people. |
| 13 | Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews. |
| 14 | Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. |
| 15 | And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned? |
| 16 | Jesus answered them, and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. |
| 17 | If any man do the will of him; he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. |
| 18 | He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no injustice in him. |
| 19 | Did Moses not give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? |
| 20 | Why seek you to kill me? The multitude answered, and said: Thou hast a devil; who seeketh to kill thee? |
| 21 | Jesus answered, and said to them: One work I have done; and you all wonder: |
| 22 | Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man. |
| 23 | If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you angry at me because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day? |
| 24 | Judge not according to the appearance, but judge just judgment. |
| 25 | Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to kill? |
| 26 | And behold, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth, that this is the Christ? |
| 27 | But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. |
| 28 | Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching, and saying: You both know me, and you know whence I am: and I am not come of myself; but he that sent me, is true, whom you know not. |
| 29 | I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me. |
| 30 | They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. |
| 31 | But of the people many believed in him, and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles, than these which this man doth? |
| 32 | The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him. |
| 33 | Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me. |
| 34 | You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come. |
| 35 | The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? |
| 36 | What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, you cannot come? |
| 37 | And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink. |
| 38 | He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith, Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. |
| 39 | Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive, who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. |
| 40 | Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed. |
| 41 | Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ come out of Galilee? |
| 42 | Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem the town where David was? |
| 43 | So there arose a dissension among the people because of him. |
| 44 | And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands on him. |
| 45 | The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him? |
| 46 | The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man. |
| 47 | The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced? |
| 48 | Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees? |
| 49 | But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed. |
| 50 | Nicodemus said to them, (he that came to him by night, who was one of them:) |
| 51 | Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him, and know what he doth? |
| 52 | They answered, and said to him: Art thou also a Galilean? Search the scriptures, and see, that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not. |
| 53 | And every man returned to his own house. |
