1 And after these things Yahshua walked about in Galilaia. For He did not desire to walk in Judaea, because the Judaeans sought to kill Him. 2 Now it was near the Tabernacles feast of the Judaeans. 3 Therefore His brothers said to Him: "You must cross over from here and go into Judaea in order that Your students also shall see Your works which You do. 4 For no one does anything in secret yet seeks it to be before the public. If you do these things, make Yourself known to the Society!" 5 (For not even His brothers believed in Him.) 6 Then Yahshua says to them: "My time is not yet here, but your time is always at hand. 7 The Society is not able to hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify concerning it, that its works are evil! 8 You go up to the feast. Not yet do I go up to this feast, because My time is not yet fulfilled." 9 Then having said these things He Himself remained in Galilaia. 10 But as His brothers went up to the feast, then He also went up, not openly but as if in secret. 11 Then the Judaeans sought Him at the feast and said "Where is He?" 12 And there was much murmuring concerning Him among the crowds. Some indeed said that He is good, but others said "No! Rather He would deceive the people!" 13 Of course no one had spoke publicly concerning Him due to fear of the Judaeans. 14 And it already being in the middle of the feast Yahshua went up into the temple and taught. 15 Then the Judaeans wondered saying "How does He know literature, not being instructed?" 16 Then Yahshua replied to them and said "My teaching is not Mine, but of He who sent Me! 17 If one wishes to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is from Yahweh or I speak by Myself. 18 He speaking by himself seeks his own honor, but he seeking the honor of He who has sent him, he is true and there is no injustice in him. " 19 Has Moses not given you the law? And not one from among you keeps the law! Why do you seek to kill Me?" 20 The crowd responded "You have a demon! Who seeks to kill You?" 21 Yahshua replied and said to them "I have done one deed and you all marvel. 22 For this reason Moses gave you the circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers) and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath in order that the law of Moses would not be broken, are you angry with Me that I have made a man entirely healthy on the Sabbath? 24 Do not judge by sight, but judge a righteous judgment." 25 Then some of those from Jerusalem said: "Is this not He whom they seek to kill? 26 And look, He speaks freely and they say nothing to Him! Perhaps the rulers really know that this is the Christ! 27 But we know where this man is from, yet when the Christ should come, no one knows where He is from." 28 Then Yahshua cried out teaching in the temple and saying: "You not only know Me, you also know where I am from! And I have not spoken by Myself, but He who has sent Me is truthful, whom you do not know! 29 I know Him, because I am from Him and He has sent Me!" 30 Then they sought to seize Him, yet no one laid a hand upon Him, because His hour had not yet come. 31 Then many from the crowd believed in Him and they said "When the Christ comes shall He do greater signs than those which this man has done?" 32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him, and the high priests and the Pharisees sent deputies that they may seize Him. 33 Then Yahshua said: "I am with you for a short time yet, then I go to He who has sent Me. 34 You shall seek Me, and shall not find Me, and where I am you are not able to come." 35 Therefore the Judaeans said to themselves "Where is He about to go that we shall not find Him? Is He about to go to the dispersion of the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What is this word which He said, 'You shall seek Me, and shall not find Me, and where I am you are not able to come'?" 37 Then on the great last day of the feast Yahshua stood and cried out saying "If one thirsts he must come to Me and drink! 38 He believing in Me, just as the writing says, rivers of living water shall flow from his belly!" 39 (Now this He spoke concerning the spirit which those believing in Him were going to receive. For not yet was the spirit, because Yahshua had not as yet been magnified.) 40 Then those from the crowd understanding these words said "He is truly a prophet!" 41 Others said "He is the Christ!" But some said "Really, does the Christ come from Galilaia? 42 Did the writing not say that the Christ comes from the offspring of David and from Bethlehem where David was?" 43 Therefore there was a division among the crowd because of Him. 44 Then some from among them desired to seize Him, but no one laid the hands upon Him. 45 Then the deputies went to the high priests and the Pharisees, and they said to them "For what reason have you not brought Him?" 46 The deputies replied: "Not ever has a man spoken in this way!" 47 Therefore the Pharisees replied to them: "Are you also deceived? 48 Has anyone from among the rulers or from among the Pharisees believed in Him? 49 But this crowd, not knowing the law, they are accursed!" 50 Nikodemos says to them (he having come to Him earlier, being one of them): 51 "Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him and would know what he does?" 52 They replied and said to him: "Are you also from Galilaia? Enquire, and see that a prophet has not arisen out of Galilaia!"
