Jesus Teaches at the Feast

1 AFTER these things JESUS walked into Galilee, for he would not walk into Jewry: because the Jews sought to kill him.📜💬📚

2 And the festival day of the Jews, Scenopegia, was at hand.📜💬📚

3 And his brethren said to him: Pass from hence, and go into Jewry; that thy Disciples also may see thy works which thou doest.📜💬📚

4 For no man doeth any thing in secret, and seeketh himself to be in public. If thou do these things, manifest thy self to the world.📜💬📚

5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.📜💬📚

6 JESUS therefore saith to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.📜💬📚

7 The world can not 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: I go not up to this festival day; because my time is not yet accomplished.📜💬📚

9 When he had said these things, himself tarried in Galilee.📜💬📚

10 But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the festival day, not openly, but as it were in secret.📜💬📚

11 The Jews therefore sought him in the festival day, and said: Where is he?📜💬📚

12 And there was much murmuring in the multitude of him. For certain said: That he is good. And others said: No, but he seduceth the multitudes.📜💬📚

13 Yet no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.📜💬📚

14 And when the festivity was now half done, JESUS went up into the temple, and taught.📜💬📚

15 And the Jews marveled, saying: How doth this man know letters, whereas he hath not 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 understand of the doctrine whether it be of God, or I speak of my self.📜💬📚

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 injustice in him there is not.📜💬📚

19 Did not Moyses give you the law, and none of you doeth the law?📜💬📚

20 Why seek you to kill me? 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 do all marvel.📜💬📚

22 Therefore Moyses gave you circumcision: not that it is of Moyses, but of the fathers, and in the Sabboth you circumcise a man.📜💬📚

23 If a man receive circumcision in the Sabboth, that the law of Moyses be not broken; are you angry at me because I have healed a man wholly in the Sabboth?📜💬📚

24 Judge not according to the face, but judge just judgement.📜💬📚

Is Jesus the Christ?

25 Certain 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 Princes known indeed that this is CHRIST?📜💬📚

27 But this man we know whence he is. But when CHRIST cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.📜💬📚

28 JESUS therefore cried in the temple teaching and saying: Both me you do know, and whence I am you know. And of my self I am not come, but he is true that sent me, whom you know not.📜💬📚

29 I know him, because I am of him, and he sent me.📜💬📚

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

31 But of the multitude many believed in him, and said: CHRIST, when he cometh shall he do more signs than these which this man doeth?📜💬📚

32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things touching him: and the Princes and Pharisees sent Ministers to apprehend him.📜💬📚

33 JESUS therefore said to them: Yet a little time I am with you: and I go to him that sent me.📜💬📚

34 You seek me, and shall not find: and where I am, you can not come.📜💬📚

35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, whither will this man go, that we shall not find him? will he go into the dispersion of the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?📜💬📚

36 What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me, and shall not find; and where I am, you can not come.📜💬📚

Living Water

37 And in the last, the 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 (And this he said of the Spirit that they should receive which believed in him. For as yet the Spirit was not given: because JESUS was not yet glorified.)📜💬📚

Division over Jesus

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 CHRIST. But certain said: Why, doth CHRIST come from Galilee?📜💬📚

42 Doth not the scripture say: That of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem the town where David was, CHRIST doth come?📜💬📚

43 Therefore there arose dissension in the multitude for him.📜💬📚

44 And certain of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands upon him.📜💬📚

Unbelief of the Priests and Pharisees

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 there man so speak, as this man.📜💬📚

47 The Pharisees therefore answered them: Why, are you also seduced?📜💬📚

48 Hath any of the Princes 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 a man, unless it first hear him, and know what he doeth?📜💬📚

52 They answered & said to him: Why, art thou also a Galilaean? Search, & see that from Galilee a Prophet riseth not.📜💬📚

53 And every man returned to his house.📜💬📚
