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 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, the same 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 20 The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
21 Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you 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 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
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 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
46 The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You
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.”
