After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
|
2
|
Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.
|
3
|
And his brethren said to, him: Pass from hence and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost.
|
4
|
For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world.
|
5
|
For neither did his brethren believe in him.
|
6
|
Then Jesus said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.
|
7
|
The world cannot hate you: but me it hateth, because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil,
|
8
|
Go you up to this festival day: but I go not up to this festival day, because my time is not accomplished.
|
9
|
When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee.
|
10
|
But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.
|
11
|
The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day and said: Where is he?
|
12
|
And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth the people.
|
13
|
Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
|
14
|
Now, about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
|
15
|
And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?
|
16
|
Jesus answered them and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
|
17
|
If any man will do the will of him, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
|
18
|
He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true and there is no injustice in him.
|
19
|
Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why seek you to kill me?
|
20
|
The multitude answered and said: Thou hast a devil. Who seeketh to kill thee?
|
21
|
Jesus answered and said to them: One work I have done: and you all wonder.
|
23
|
If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken: are you angry at me, because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day?
|
24
|
Judge not according to the appearance: but judge just judgment.
|
25
|
Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
|
26
|
And behold, he speaketh openly: and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth that this is the Christ?
|
27
|
But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth, whence he is.
|
28
|
Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: You both know me, and you know whence I am. And I am not come of myself: but he that sent me is true, whom you know not.
|
29
|
I know him, because I am from him: and he hath sent me.
|
30
|
They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
|
31
|
But of the people many believed in him and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles than these which this man doth?
|
32
|
The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him.
|
33
|
Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me.
|
34
|
You shall seek me and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come.
|
35
|
The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? Will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles and teach the Gentiles?
|
36
|
What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me and shall not find me? And: Where I am, you cannot come?
|
37
|
And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink.
|
38
|
He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith: Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
|
39
|
Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
|
40
|
Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed.
|
41
|
Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ come out of Galilee?
|
42
|
Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David and from Bethlehem the town where David was?
|
43
|
So there arose a dissension among the people because of him.
|
44
|
And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands upon him.
|
45
|
The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him?
|
46
|
The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man.
|
47
|
The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced?
|
48
|
Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
|
49
|
But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed.
|
50
|
Nicodemus said to them (he that came to him by night, who was one of them):
|
51
|
Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him and know what he doth?
|
52
|
They answered and said to him: Art thou also a Galilean? Search the scriptures, and see that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not.
|
53
|
And every man returned to his own house.
