Verse 1
And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him,
Verse 2
and the feast of the Jews was nigh -- that of tabernacles --
Verse 3
his brethren, therefore, said unto him, `Remove hence, and go away to Judea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works that thou dost;
Verse 4
for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things -- manifest thyself to the world;'
Verse 5
for not even were his brethren believing in him.
Verse 6
Jesus, therefore, saith to them, `My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;
Verse 7
the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.
Verse 8
Ye -- go ye up to this feast; I do not yet go up to this feast, because my time hath not yet been fulfilled;'
Verse 9
and saying these things to them, he remained in Galilee.
Verse 10
And when his brethren went up, then also he himself went up to the feast, not manifestly, but as in secret;
Verse 11
the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, `Where is that one?'
Verse 12
and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said -- `He is good;' and others said, `No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;'
Verse 13
no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through fear of the Jews.
Verse 14
And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple, and he was teaching,
Verse 15
and the Jews were wondering, saying, `How hath this one known letters -- not having learned?'
Verse 16
Jesus answered them and said, `My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me;
Verse 17
if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or -- I do speak from myself.
Verse 18
`He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;
Verse 19
hath not Moses given you the law? and none of you doth the law; why me do ye seek to kill?'
Verse 20
The multitude answered and said, `Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?'
Verse 21
Jesus answered and said to them, `One work I did, and ye all wonder,
Verse 22
because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision -- not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers -- and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man;
Verse 23
if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath?
Verse 24
judge not according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.'
Verse 25
Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, `Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill?
Verse 26
and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?
Verse 27
but this one -- we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.'
Verse 28
Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, `Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known;
Verse 29
and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did send me.'
Verse 30
They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid the hand on him, because his hour had not yet come,
Verse 31
and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said -- `The Christ -- when he may come -- will he do more signs than these that this one did?'
Verse 32
The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take him;
Verse 33
Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time I am with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me;
Verse 34
ye will seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye are not able to come.'
Verse 35
The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, `Whither is this one about to go that we shall not find him? -- to the dispersion of the Greeks is he about to go? and to teach the Greeks;
Verse 36
what is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and ye shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?'
Verse 37
And in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, `If any one doth thirst, let him come unto me and drink;
Verse 38
he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;'
Verse 39
and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Verse 40
Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, `This is truly the Prophet;'
Verse 41
others said, `This is the Christ;' and others said, `Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come?
Verse 42

Verse 43

Verse 44

Verse 45
the officers came, therefore, unto the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, `Wherefore did ye not bring him?'
Verse 46
The officers answered, `Never so spake man -- as this man.'
Verse 47
The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, `Have ye also been led astray?
Verse 48
did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees?
Verse 49
but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is accursed.'
Verse 50

Verse 51
`Doth our law judge the man, if it may not hear from him first, and know what he doth?'
Verse 52
