1 A fter these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

2 N ow the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.

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

4 F or no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”

5 F or even his brothers didn’t believe in him.

6 J esus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

7 T he world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

8 Y ou go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”

9 H aving said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.

10 B ut when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.

11 T he Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”

12 T here 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 Y et no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

14 B ut when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

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

16 J esus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

17 I f 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 H e 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.

19 D idn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”

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

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

22 M oses 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 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 D on’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

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

26 B ehold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

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

28 J esus 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 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”

30 T hey sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

31 B ut 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 T he 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, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.

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

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

37 N ow 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 H e who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”

39 B ut 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 M any of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”

41 O thers said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?

42 H asn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”

43 S o there arose a division in the multitude because of him.

44 S ome of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

45 T he officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”

46 T he officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

47 T he Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?

48 H ave any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?

49 B ut this multitude that doesn’t know the law is accursed.”

50 N icodemus (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 T hey answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”

53 E veryone went to his own house,
