1 After this Jesus went from place to place in Galilee, for he did not want to travel around in Judea because the Jews were seeking to kill him.
2 Now the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.
3 So Jesus' brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea so that yoʋr disciples may see the works yoʋ are doing.
4 For no one does anything in secret while seeking to be known publicly. If yoʋ are going to do these things, show yoʋrself to the world.”
5 (For not even his brothers believed in him.)
6 So Jesus said to them,
9 After saying thisto them, he remained in Galilee.
10 However, after his brothers had gone up to the feast, Jesus also went up, not openly but in secret.
11 Now the Jews were looking for him at the feast, saying, “Where is that man?”
12 And there was much murmuring about him among the crowds. Some were saying, “He is a good man.” Others were saying, “No, he is deceiving the people.”
13 No one, however, was speaking openly about him for fear of the Jews.
14 Midway through the feast, Jesus went up to the temple courts and began to teach.
15 The Jews were amazed, saying, “How does this man know so much, when he has never had any formal instruction?”
16 Jesus answered them,
20 The crowd answered, “Yoʋ have a demon! Who is seeking to kill yoʋ?”
21 Jesus answered them,
25 Now some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Is this not the man whom they are seeking to kill?
26 And behold, he is speaking openly, and they are saying nothing to him. Could it be that the rulers indeed know that he istruly the Christ?
27 Yet we know where this man is from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from.”
28 Then Jesus cried out as he taught in the temple courts,
30 So they were trying to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31 Still, many from among the crowd believed in him and said, “When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than this man has done?”
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about Jesus, so thePharisees and the chief priests sent officers to arrest him.
33 Then Jesussaid,
35 Then the Jews said to one another, “Where is this man about to go that we will not find him? Is he about to go to the Jews who are scattered among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
36 What does he mean by saying,?”
37 On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and cried out,
39 (He said this about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were going to receive, for theHoly Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)
40 When they heardthis,many from among the crowd were saying, “Surely this man is the Prophet.”
41 Others were saying, “He is the Christ.” Butothers were saying, “No, for the Christ does not come from Galilee, does he?
42 Does not the Scripture say that the Christ will come from David's descendants and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?”
43 So a division arose among the crowd because of Jesus.
44 Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him.
45 Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring him in?”
46 The officers answered, “Never has anyone spoken like thisman.”
47 The Pharisees answered them, “Have you also been deceived?
48 Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in him?
49 No! But this crowd that is following him does not know the law; they are accursed.”
50 Then Nicodemus, who had gone toJesusby night and who was one of the rulers, said,
51 “Does our law condemn a man without first giving him a hearing and finding out what he is doing?”
52 They answered him, “Are yoʋ also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophethas ever arisen from Galilee.”
53 Andeach went to his own house.
