1And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee : for he would not walk in Judæa , because the Jews sought to kill him . 2Now the feast of the Jews , the feast of tabernacles , was at hand . 3His brethren therefore said unto him , Depart hence , and go into Judæa , that thy disciples also may behold thy works which thou doest . 4For no man doeth anything in secret , and himself seeketh to be known openly . If thou doest these things , manifest thyself to the world . 5For even his brethren did not believe on him . 6Jesus therefore saith unto them , My time is not yet come ; but your time is always ready . 7The world cannot hate you ; but me it hateth , because I testify of it , that its works are evil . 8Go ye up unto the feast : I go not up unto this feast ; because my time is not yet fulfilled . 9And having said these things unto them , he abode still in Galilee . 10But when his brethren were gone up unto the feast , then went he also up , not publicly , but as it were in secret . 11The Jews therefore sought him at the feast , and said , Where is he ? 12And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him : some said , He is a good man ; others said , Not so , but he leadeth the multitude astray . 13Yet no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews . 14But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple , and taught . 15The Jews therefore marvelled , saying , How knoweth this man letters , having never learned ? 16Jesus therefore answered them , and said , My teaching is not mine , but his that sent me . 17If any man willeth to do his will , he shall know of the teaching , whether it is of God , or whether I speak from myself . 18He 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 . 19Did not Moses give you the law , and yet none of you doeth the law ? Why seek ye to kill me ? 20The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon : who seeketh to kill thee? 21Jesus answered and said unto them , I did one work , and ye all marvel because thereof. 22Moses hath given you circumcision ( not that it is of Moses , but of the fathers ); and on the sabbath ye circumcise a man . 23If 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 ? 24Judge not according to appearance , but judge righteous judgment . 25Some therefore of them of Jerusalem said , Is not this he whom they seek to kill? 26And lo , he speaketh openly , and they say nothing unto him . Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ ? 27Howbeit we know this man whence he is : but when the Christ cometh , no one knoweth whence he is . 28Jesus 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 . 29I know him; because I am from him, and he sent me . 30They sought therefore to take him : and no man laid his hand on him , because his hour was not yet come . 31But of the multitude many believed on him ; and they said , When the Christ shall come , will he do more signs than those which this man hath done ? 32The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him ; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to take him . 33Jesus therefore said , Yet a little while am I with you , and I go unto him that sent me . 34Ye shall seek me , and shall not find me : and where I am , ye cannot come . 35The 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 ? 36What is this word that he said , Ye shall seek me , and shall not find me ; and where I am , ye cannot come ? 37Now 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 . 38He that believeth on me , as the scripture hath said , from within him shall flow rivers of living water . 39But this spake he of the Spirit , which they that believed on him were to receive : for the Spirit was not yet given ; because Jesus was not yet glorified .
The Reactions to Jesus' Teaching
40Some of the multitude therefore , when they heard these words , said , This is of a truth the prophet . 41Others said , This is the Christ . But some said , What , doth the Christ come out of Galilee ? 42Hath not the scripture said that the Christ cometh of the seed of David , and from Bethlehem, the village where David was ? 43So there arose a division in the multitude because of him . 44And some of them would have taken him ; but no man laid hands on him . 45The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees ; and they said unto them , Why did ye not bring him ? 46The officers answered, Never man so spake . 47The Pharisees therefore answered them , Are ye also led astray ? 48Hath any of the rulers believed on him , or of the Pharisees ? 49But this multitude that knoweth not the law are accursed . 50Nicodemus saith unto them ( he that came to him before , being one of them ), 51Doth our law judge a man , except it first hear from himself and know what he doeth ? 52They answered and said unto him , Art thou also of Galilee ? Search , and see that out of Galilee ariseth no prophet .
