His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

5 F or not even his brethren believed in him.

For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.

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

The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”

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

Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who 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 anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

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

The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”

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

Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.

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 has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

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 boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?

24 J udge not according to the appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.

Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

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

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

However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

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 out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.

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

The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

33 T hen Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while I shall be with you, and then I shall go unto him that sent me.

Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.

34 Y e shall seek me and shall not find me, and where I shall be, ye shall not be able to come.

You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come.”

35 T hen the Jews said among themselves, Where will he go that we shall not find him? Will he go unto the dispersed among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

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 W hat manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me and shall not find me, and where I shall be ye shall not be able to come?

What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come’ ?”
