^{1 Ref} After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn't walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

^{2 Ref} Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.

^{3 Ref} His brothers therefore said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

^{4 Ref} For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world."

^{5 Ref} For even his brothers didn't believe in him.

^{6 Ref} Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

^{7 Ref} The world can't hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

^{8 Ref} You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled."

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

^{10 Ref} But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.

^{11 Ref} The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?"

^{12 Ref} There 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 Ref} Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

^{14 Ref} But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

^{15 Ref} The Jews therefore marveled, saying, "How does this man know letters, having never been educated?"

^{16 Ref} Jesus therefore answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

^{17 Ref} 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.

^{18 Ref} He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

^{19 Ref} Didn't Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?"

^{20 Ref} The multitude answered, "You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?"

^{21 Ref} Jesus answered them, "I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.

^{22 Ref} Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

^{23 Ref} 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 every bit whole on the Sabbath?

^{24 Ref} Don't judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."

^{25 Ref} Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Isn't this he whom they seek to kill?

^{26 Ref} 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 Ref} However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from."

^{28 Ref} 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 Ref} I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me."

^{30 Ref} They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

^{31 Ref} But 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 Ref} The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

^{33 Ref} Then Jesus said, "I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.

^{34 Ref} You will seek me, and won't find me; and where I am, you can't come."

^{35 Ref} 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 Ref} What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me, and won't find me; and where I am, you can't come?'"

^{37 Ref} Now 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 Ref} He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water."

^{39 Ref} But 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 Ref} Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly the prophet."

^{41 Ref} Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?

^{42 Ref} Hasn't the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

^{43 Ref} So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.

^{44 Ref} Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

^{45 Ref} The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why didn't you bring him?"

^{46 Ref} The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man!"

^{47 Ref} The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You aren't also led astray, are you?

^{48 Ref} Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?

^{49 Ref} But this multitude that doesn't know the law is accursed."

^{50 Ref} Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

^{51 Ref} "Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?"

^{52 Ref} They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee."

^{53 Ref} Everyone went to his own house,
