1 After this Jesus went about in Galilee. He would ^mnot go about in Judea, because the Jews¹ were ⁿseeking to kill him. 2 Now ^othe Jews’ ^pFeast of Booths was at hand. 3 So his brothers² said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing. 4 For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, ^qshow yourself to the world.” 5 For ^rnot even his brothers believed in him. 6 Jesus said to them, ^s“My time has not yet come, but your time is always here. 7 The world cannot hate you, but it ^thates me because I testify about it that its works are evil. 8 You go up to the feast. I am not³ going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come.” 9 After saying this, he remained in Galilee.

10 But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private. 11 The Jews were ^ulooking for him at the feast, and saying, “Where is he?” 12 And there was much muttering about him among the people. While some said, “He is a good man,” ^vothers said, “No, he is leading the people astray.” 13 Yet ^wfor fear of the Jews no one spoke openly of him.

14 About the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple ^xand began teaching. 15 The Jews therefore ^ymarveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning,^{4 z}when he has never studied?” 16 So Jesus answered them, ^a“My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. 17 If anyone’s will is to do God’s⁵ will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority. 18 The one who speaks on his own authority ^bseeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood. 19 Has not ^cMoses given you the law? ^dYet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?” 20 The crowd answered, “You ^ehave a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?” 21 Jesus answered them, “I did ^fone work, and you all marvel at it. 22 ^gMoses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but ^hfrom the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the ⁱSabbath. 23 ^jIf on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me ^kbecause on the Sabbath I made a man’s whole body well? 24 Do not judge ^lby ^mappearances, but ⁿjudge with right judgment.”

25 Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, “Is not this the man whom they seek to kill? 26 And here he is, speaking ^oopenly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that ^pthe authorities really know that this is the Christ? 27 But ^qwe know where this man comes from, and ^rwhen the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from.” 28 So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, “You know me, and you know where I come from. But ^sI have not come of my own accord. He who sent me is ^ttrue, and ^uhim you do not know. 29 ^vI know him, for I come ^wfrom him, and he sent me.” 30 So they were seeking to ^xarrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. 31 Yet ^ymany of the people believed in him. They said, “When the Christ appears, will he do more ^zsigns than this man has done?”
