John

1After 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 amongst 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 marvelled, 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 judgement.”

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 amongst themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion amongst 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 offspringof 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,

1After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

2Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand.

3And his brethren said to him: Pass from hence, and go into Judea; that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost.

4For 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.

5For neither did his brethren believe in him.

6Then Jesus said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.

7The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth: because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil.

8Go you up to this festival day, but I go not up to this festival day: because my time is not accomplished.

9When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee.

10But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.

11The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day, and said: Where is he?

12And 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.

13Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.

14Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

15And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?

16Jesus answered them, and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

17If any man do the will of him; he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

18He 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.

19Did Moses not give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?

20Why seek you to kill me? The multitude answered, and said: Thou hast a devil; who seeketh to kill thee?

21Jesus answered, and said to them: One work I have done; and you all wonder:

22Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man.

23If 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?

24Judge not according to the appearance, but judge just judgment.

25Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

26And behold, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth, that this is the Christ?

27But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

28Jesus 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.

29I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.

30They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

31But of the people many believed in him, and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles, than these which this man doth?

32The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him.

33Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me.

34You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come.

35The 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?

36What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, you cannot come?

37And 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.

38He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith, Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

39Now 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.

40Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed.

41Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ come out of Galilee?

42Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem the town where David was?

43So there arose a dissension among the people because of him.

44And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands on him.

45The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him?

46The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man.

47The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced?

48Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?

49But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed.

50Nicodemus said to them, (he that came to him by night, who was one of them:)

51Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him, and know what he doth?

52They answered, and said to him: Art thou also a Galilean? Search the scriptures, and see, that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not.

53And every man returned to his own house.
