✧After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. ✧2Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand. ✧3His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do. ✧4For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.” ✧5For even his brothers didn’t believe in him. ✧6Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. ✧7The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil. ✧8You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.” ✧9Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee. ✧10But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret. ✧11The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?” ✧12There 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.” ✧13Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews. ✧14But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught. ✧15The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?” ✧16Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. ✧17If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself. ✧18He 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. ✧19Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?” ✧20The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?” ✧21Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it. ✧22Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy. ✧23If 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? ✧24Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” ✧25Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill? ✧26Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ? ✧27However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.” ✧28Jesus 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. ✧29I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.” ✧30They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. ✧31But 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?” ✧32The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him. ✧33Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me. ✧34You will seek me and won’t find me. You can’t come where I am.” ✧35The 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? ✧36What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me;’ and ‘Where I am, you can’t come’?” ✧37Now 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! ✧38He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.” ✧39But 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. ✧40Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.” ✧41Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee? ✧42Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” ✧43So a division arose in the multitude because of him. ✧44Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him. ✧45The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?” ✧46The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!” ✧47The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you? ✧48Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him? ✧49But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.” ✧50Nicodemus (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?” ✧52They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.” ✧53Everyone went to his own house,
