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. His brothers therefore said to him, Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see the works that you do.
4. For there is no one that does any thing in secret, while he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.
5. For neither did his brothers believe in him.
6. Then Jesus said to them, My time has not yet come: but your time is always ready.
7. The world cannot hate you; but me it hates, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.
8. Go ye up to this feast: I am not going up yet to this feast; for my time has not yet fully come.
9. When he had said these words to them, he remained yet in Galilee.
10. But when his brothers had gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but as if in secret.
11. Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
12. And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, No; but he deceives the people.
13. However no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14. Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15. And the Jews marveled, saying, How does this man know letters, having never learned?
16. Jesus answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.
17. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from myself.
18. He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory: but he that seeks his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19. Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you attempt to kill me?
20. The people answered and said, You have a devil: who is attempting to kill you?
21. Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and you all marvel.
22. Moses therefore gave you circumcision; (not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers;) and you on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
23. If a man on the sabbath day receives circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are you angry at me, because I have made a man completely whole on the sabbath day?
24. Do not judge according to the appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.
25. Then said some of them from Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
26. But, lo, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is really the Christ?
27. However we know this man, where he is from: but when Christ comes, no man will know where he is from.
28. Then cried out Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, You both know me, and you know where I am from: and I have not come of my own will, but he that sent me is true, whom you know not.
29. But I know him: for I am from him, and he has sent me.
30. Then they sought to take him: but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31. And many of the people believed in him, and said, When Christ comes, will he do more miracles than these which this man has done?
32. The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
33. Then said Jesus to them, Yet a little while am I 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, there you cannot come.
35. Then said the Jews among themselves, Where will he go, that we shall not find him? Will he go to the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
36. What manner of saying is this that he said, You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, there you cannot come?
37. In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If any man thirsts, let him come to me, and drink.
38. He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39. (But this spoke he of the Spirit, which those who believe in him would receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40. Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
41. Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
42. Has not the scripture said, That Christ comes from the descendents of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
43. So there was a division among the people because of him.
44. And some of them would have taken him; but no one laid hands on him.
45. Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, Why have you not brought him?
46. The officers answered, No man ever spoke like this man.
47. Then the Pharisees answered them, Are you also deceived?
48. Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?
49. But this people who know not the law are cursed.
50. Nicodemus said to them, (he who came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
51. Does our law judge any man, before it hears him, and knows what he does?
52. They answered and said to him, Are you also from Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee arises no prophet.
53. And everyone went to his own house.
