1 After|strong="G3326" this|strong="G3778", Jesus|strong="G2424" went|strong="G2424" about|strong="G1722" in|strong="G1722" Galilee|strong="G1056", for|strong="G1063" he|strong="G2532" would|strong="G2309" not|strong="G3756" do|strong="G2532" so|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" Judea|strong="G2453", because|strong="G3754" the|strong="G1722" religious authorities (in|strong="G1722" Jerusalem) were|strong="G3588" eager to|strong="G2532" put|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588" to|strong="G2532" death.
2 When|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1161" Jewish|strong="G2453" Festival|strong="G1859" of|strong="G3588" Tabernacles|strong="G4634" was|strong="G1510" near|strong="G1451",
3 his|strong="G1519" brothers said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3588", ‘Leave|strong="G3327" this|strong="G3588" part|strong="G2532" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" country, and|strong="G2532" go|strong="G5217" into|strong="G1519" Judea|strong="G2449", so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G2443" your|strong="G2532" disciples|strong="G3101", as|strong="G1519" well|strong="G2532" as|strong="G1519" we|strong="G3739", may|strong="G2532" see|strong="G2334" the|strong="G2532" work|strong="G2041" that|strong="G2443" you|strong="G4771" are|strong="G3588" doing|strong="G4160".
4 For|strong="G1063" no|strong="G3762" one|strong="G5100" does|strong="G4160" a|strong="G2532" thing|strong="G5100" privately, if|strong="G1487" they|strong="G2532" are|strong="G1510" seeking|strong="G2212" to|strong="G2532" be|strong="G1510" widely known|strong="G5319". Since|strong="G1063" you|strong="G1487" do|strong="G4160" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778", you|strong="G1487" should|strong="G5100" show|strong="G4160" yourself|strong="G4572" publicly|strong="G3954" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" world|strong="G2889".’
5 For|strong="G1063" even|strong="G3761" his|strong="G1519" brothers did|strong="G4100" not|strong="G3761" believe|strong="G4100" in|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3588".
6 ‘\+w My|strong="G1699"\+w* \+w time|strong="G2540"\+w*,’ answered|strong="G3004" Jesus|strong="G2424", ‘\+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w not|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w come|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w yet|strong="G1161"\+w*, \+w but|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w your|strong="G5212"\+w* \+w time|strong="G2540"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w always|strong="G3842"\+w* \+w here|strong="G3918"\+w*.

8 \+w Go|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w yourselves|strong="G4771"\+w* \+w up|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w to|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w Festival|strong="G1859"\+w*; \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w am|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w going|strong="G3778"\+w* \+w to|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w this|strong="G3778"\+w* \+w Festival|strong="G1859"\+w* \+w yet|strong="G3768"\+w*, \+w because|strong="G3754"\+w* \+w my|strong="G1699"\+w* \+w time|strong="G2540"\+w* \+w has|strong="G3778"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w yet|strong="G3768"\+w* \+w come|strong="G3756"\+w*.’
9 After|strong="G1161" telling|strong="G3004" them|strong="G3588" this|strong="G3778", he|strong="G1161" stayed|strong="G3306" on|strong="G1722" in|strong="G1722" Galilee|strong="G1056".
10 But|strong="G1161", when|strong="G1161" his|strong="G1519" brothers had|strong="G2532" gone up|strong="G1519" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1722" Festival|strong="G1859", Jesus|strong="G2532" also|strong="G2532" went|strong="G2532" up|strong="G1519" – not|strong="G3756" publicly|strong="G5320", but|strong="G1161" privately.
11 The|strong="G1722" authorities were|strong="G1510" looking|strong="G2212" for|strong="G1722" him|strong="G3588" at|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Festival|strong="G1859" and|strong="G2532" asking|strong="G3004" “Where|strong="G4226" is|strong="G1510" he|strong="G2532"?”;
12 and|strong="G2532" there|strong="G2532" were|strong="G1510" many|strong="G4183" whispers about|strong="G4012" him|strong="G3588" among|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" people|strong="G3793", some|strong="G3588" saying|strong="G3004" “He|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" a|strong="G2532" good|strong="G3756" man|strong="G3756";” others|strong="G3588", “No|strong="G3756"! He|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" leading the|strong="G1722" people|strong="G3793" astray|strong="G4105".”
13 No|strong="G3762" one|strong="G3762", however|strong="G3305", spoke|strong="G2980" freely|strong="G3954" about|strong="G4012" him|strong="G3588", because|strong="G1223" they|strong="G3588" were|strong="G3588" afraid of|strong="G4012" the|strong="G1223" authorities.
14 About|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" middle of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Festival|strong="G1859" week, Jesus|strong="G2424" went|strong="G2424" up|strong="G1519" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" Temple|strong="G2411" Courts, and|strong="G2532" began|strong="G1161" teaching|strong="G1321".
15 The|strong="G3588" authorities were|strong="G3588" astonished|strong="G2296". ‘How|strong="G4459" has|strong="G3778" this|strong="G3778" man|strong="G3778" got his|strong="G3588" learning|strong="G1121",’ they|strong="G3588" asked|strong="G3004", ‘when|strong="G1492" he|strong="G3778" has|strong="G3778" never|strong="G3361" studied?’
16 So|strong="G3767", in|strong="G2532" reply|strong="G3004", Jesus|strong="G2424" said|strong="G3004", ‘\+w My|strong="G1699"\+w* \+w teaching|strong="G1322"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w my|strong="G1699"\+w* \+w own|strong="G1699"\+w*; \+w it|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w his|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w who|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w sent|strong="G3992"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w*.

26 Yet|strong="G2532" here|strong="G1510" he|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510", speaking|strong="G2980" out|strong="G2532" boldly|strong="G3954", and|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" say|strong="G3004" nothing|strong="G3762" to|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588"!

27 Yet|strong="G1161" we|strong="G1161" know|strong="G1492" where|strong="G4159" this|strong="G3778" man|strong="G3778" is|strong="G1510" from|strong="G2064"; but|strong="G1161", when|strong="G3752" the|strong="G1161" Christ|strong="G5547" comes|strong="G2064", no|strong="G3762" one|strong="G3762" will|strong="G1510" be|strong="G1510" able to|strong="G2064" tell|strong="G1492" where|strong="G4159" he|strong="G1161" is|strong="G1510" from|strong="G2064".’
28 Therefore|strong="G3767", Jesus|strong="G2424", as|strong="G1722" he|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1510" teaching|strong="G1321" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Temple|strong="G2413" Courts, raised|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1722" voice and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", ‘Yes; \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w know|strong="G1492"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w know|strong="G1492"\+w* \+w where|strong="G4159"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w am|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w from|strong="G2064"\+w*. \+w Yet|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w come|strong="G2064"\+w* \+w on|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w my|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w own|strong="G1683"\+w* authority, \+w but|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w he|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w who|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w sent|strong="G3992"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w may|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w be|strong="G1510"\+w* trusted; \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w him|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w do|strong="G1492"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w know|strong="G1492"\+w*.

30 So|strong="G3767" they|strong="G2532" sought|strong="G2212" to|strong="G2532" arrest|strong="G4084" him|strong="G3588"; but|strong="G2532" no|strong="G3762" one|strong="G3762" touched him|strong="G3588", for|strong="G3754" his|strong="G1909" time|strong="G5610" was|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3762" come|strong="G2064" yet|strong="G2532".
31 Many|strong="G4183" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G3793", however|strong="G1161", believed|strong="G4100" in|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3588". ‘When|strong="G3752" the|strong="G2532" Christ|strong="G5547" comes|strong="G2064",’ they|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", ‘will|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" give|strong="G4160" more|strong="G4119" signs|strong="G4592" of|strong="G1537" his|strong="G1519" mission than|strong="G4183" this|strong="G3778" man|strong="G3778" has|strong="G3739" given|strong="G3361"?’
32 The|strong="G2532" Pharisees|strong="G5330" heard the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G3793" whispering about|strong="G4012" him|strong="G3588" in|strong="G2532" this|strong="G3778" way|strong="G3778", and|strong="G2532" so|strong="G2443" the|strong="G2532" chief|strong="G2532" priests and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Pharisees|strong="G5330" sent|strong="G2532" officers|strong="G5257" to|strong="G2443" arrest|strong="G4084" him|strong="G3588";

39 (By|strong="G3004" this|strong="G3778" he|strong="G1161" meant|strong="G1510" the|strong="G1519" Spirit|strong="G4151", which|strong="G3739" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3739" had|strong="G2424" believed|strong="G4100" in|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3588" were|strong="G1510" to|strong="G1519" receive|strong="G2983"; for|strong="G1063" the|strong="G1519" Spirit|strong="G4151" had|strong="G2424" not|strong="G1510" yet|strong="G1161" come|strong="G3195", because|strong="G3754" Jesus|strong="G2424" had|strong="G2424" not|strong="G1510" yet|strong="G1161" been|strong="G1510" exalted.)
40 Some|strong="G3588" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1537" people|strong="G3793", when|strong="G3767" they|strong="G3588" heard these|strong="G3778" words|strong="G3056", said|strong="G3004", ‘This|strong="G3778" is|strong="G1510" certainly the|strong="G1537" Prophet|strong="G4396"!’;
41 others|strong="G3588" said|strong="G3004", ‘the|strong="G1537" Christ|strong="G5547"!’; but|strong="G1161" some|strong="G3588" asked|strong="G3004", ‘What|strong="G3588"! Does|strong="G1510" the|strong="G1537" Christ|strong="G5547" come|strong="G2064" from|strong="G1537" Galilee|strong="G1056"?
42 Is|strong="G1510" not|strong="G3756" it|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" in|strong="G2532" scripture|strong="G1124" that|strong="G3754" it|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" descendants|strong="G4690" of|strong="G1537" David|strong="G1138", and|strong="G2532" from|strong="G1537" Bethlehem, the|strong="G2532" village|strong="G2968" to|strong="G2532" which|strong="G3588" David|strong="G1138" belonged|strong="G1510", that|strong="G3754" the|strong="G2532" Christ|strong="G5547" is|strong="G1510" to|strong="G2532" come|strong="G2064"?’
43 So|strong="G3767" there|strong="G1096" was|strong="G1096" a|strong="G1096" sharp division|strong="G4978" among|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" people|strong="G3793" because|strong="G1223" of|strong="G1223" Jesus|strong="G3793".
44 Some|strong="G5100" of|strong="G1537" them|strong="G3588" wanted|strong="G2309" to|strong="G1909" arrest|strong="G4084" him|strong="G3588", and|strong="G1161" yet|strong="G1161" no|strong="G3762" one|strong="G5100" touched him|strong="G3588".
45 When|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" officers|strong="G5257" returned|strong="G2064" to|strong="G4314" the|strong="G2532" chief|strong="G2532" priests and|strong="G2532" Pharisees|strong="G5330", they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" asked|strong="G3004", ‘Why|strong="G5101" have|strong="G2532" you|strong="G3004" not|strong="G3756" brought|strong="G2064" him|strong="G3588"?’
46 ‘No|strong="G3588" one|strong="G3588" ever|strong="G3763" spoke|strong="G2980" as|strong="G5613" he|strong="G3778" speaks|strong="G2980"!’ they|strong="G3588" answered.
47 ‘What|strong="G3588"! Have|strong="G2532" you|strong="G5210" been|strong="G2532" led|strong="G3767" astray|strong="G4105" too|strong="G2532"?’ the|strong="G2532" Pharisees|strong="G5330" replied.
48 ‘Have|strong="G5100" any|strong="G5100" of|strong="G1537" our|strong="G4100" leading|strong="G1519" men|strong="G5100" believed|strong="G4100" in|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3588", or|strong="G2228" any|strong="G5100" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1519" Pharisees|strong="G5330"?
49 As|strong="G3551" for|strong="G1097" these|strong="G3778" people|strong="G3793" who|strong="G3588" do|strong="G3361" not|strong="G3361" know|strong="G1097" the|strong="G3588" Law|strong="G3551" – they|strong="G3588" are|strong="G1510" cursed|strong="G1944"!’
50 But|strong="G1438" one|strong="G1520" of|strong="G1537" their|strong="G1438" number, Nicodemus|strong="G3530", who|strong="G1520" before|strong="G4314" this|strong="G1537" had|strong="G1510" been|strong="G1510" to|strong="G4314" see Jesus|strong="G3004", said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G4314" them|strong="G1438",
51 ‘Does|strong="G4160" our|strong="G2532" Law|strong="G3551" pass|strong="G2919" judgment|strong="G2919" on|strong="G4160" a|strong="G2532" person|strong="G5101" without|strong="G3361" first|strong="G4413" giving|strong="G4160" them|strong="G3588" a|strong="G2532" hearing, and|strong="G2532" finding out|strong="G2532" what|strong="G5101" they|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2532" been|strong="G2532" doing|strong="G4160"?’
52 ‘Are|strong="G1510" you|strong="G4771" also|strong="G2532" from|strong="G1537" Galilee|strong="G1056"?’ they|strong="G2532" retorted. ‘Search|strong="G2045", and|strong="G2532" you|strong="G4771" will|strong="G1510" find that|strong="G3754" no|strong="G3756" prophet|strong="G4396" is|strong="G1510" to|strong="G2532" arise|strong="G1453" in|strong="G2532" Galilee|strong="G1056"!’
53 And|strong="G2532" everyone|strong="G1538" went|strong="G4198" home|strong="G3624"
