¹ And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.² Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, 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 man does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, manifest yourself to the world.⁵ For even his brothers did not believe on him.⁶ Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.⁷ The world can't hate you; but me it hates, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.⁸ You go up to the feast: I do not go up to this feast; because my time is not yet fulfilled.⁹ And having said these things, he abode [still] in Galilee.¹⁰ But when his brothers went up to the feast, then he went up also, not publicly, but as it were in secret.¹¹ The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?¹² And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him: some said, He is a good man; but others said, Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.¹³ Yet no man 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 learned?¹⁶ Jesus therefore answered them and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.¹⁷ If any man wills to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or [whether] I speak from myself.¹⁸ He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory: but he that seeks the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.¹⁹ Has not Moses given you the law? And [yet] none of you does 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 and said to them, I did one work, and you all marvel because thereof.²² Moses has given you circumcision- not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers- and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.²³ If a man 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 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.²⁵ Some therefore of them of Jerusalem said, Isn't this he whom they seek to kill?²⁶ And look, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?²⁷ Nevertheless we know this man from where he is: but when the Christ comes, no one knows from where he is.²⁸ Jesus therefore cried in the temple, teaching and saying, You both know me, and know from where I am; and I have not come of myself, but he that 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: and no man laid his hand on him, because his hour was not yet come.³¹ But of the multitude many believed on him; and they said, When the Christ shall come, will he do more signs than those which this man has done?³² The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent attendants to take him.³³ Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while I am with you, and I go to him that sent me.³⁴ You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, you cannot come.³⁵ The Jews therefore said among themselves, Where will this man go that we shall not find him? will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?³⁶ What is this word that he said, You shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, you cannot come?

³⁷ Now on the last day, the great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirsts, let him come to me and drink.³⁸ He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, from inside him shall flow rivers of living water.³⁹ But this he spoke of the Spirit, which those that believed on him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet [given]; because Jesus was not yet glorified.⁴⁰ [Some] of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is of a truth the prophet.⁴¹ Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?⁴² Has not 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 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

⁴⁵ The attendants therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, Why didn't you bring him?⁴⁶ The attendants answered, Never did man so speak.⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are you also led astray?⁴⁸ Has any of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?⁴⁹ But this multitude that doesn't know the law are accursed.⁵⁰ Nicodemus, he that came to him before, being one of them, says to them,⁵¹ Does our law judge a man, except it first hear from him and know what he does?⁵² They answered and said to him, Are you also of Galilee? Search, and see that out of Galilee rises no prophet.
