3 H is brethren therefore said unto him, Depart from this place and go into Judea that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.

His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works which thou doest.

4 F or no one who seeks to be clearly known does anything in secret. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.

For no man doeth anything in secret, and himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world.

For even his brethren did not believe on him.

6 T hen Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come, but your time is always ready.

11 T hen the Jews sought him at the feast and said, Where is he?

The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

12 A nd 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.

16 J esus answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

Jesus therefore answered them and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.

17 I f anyone desires to do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it is of God or whether I speak of myself.

If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself.

He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you doeth the law? Why seek ye to kill me?

20 T he people answered and said, Thou hast a demon; who goes about to kill thee?

The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?

21 J esus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.

Jesus answered and said unto them, I did one work, and ye all marvel because thereof.

22 M oses therefore gave unto you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.

Moses hath given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers); and on the sabbath ye circumcise a man.

23 I f a man on the sabbath day receives circumcision without the law of Moses being broken, are ye angry at me because I have made a man entirely whole on the sabbath day?

If a man receiveth circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye wroth with me, because I made a man every whit whole on the sabbath?

26 B ut, behold, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Have the rulers truly understood that this is indeed the Christ?

And lo, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing unto him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?

27 B ut we know where this man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one shall know where he is from.

Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is.

28 T hen Jesus cried out in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye know me, and ye know from where I come, but I have not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

Jesus therefore cried in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, and know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

29 B ut I know him, for I am from him, and he has sent me.

The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will this man go that we shall not find him? will he go unto the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.

38 H e that believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water.
