| 1 | 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 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 completely healthy 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, |
