耶稣的弟弟不信祂
7 之后，耶稣周游加利利，不愿去犹太地区，因为犹太人想要杀祂。 2 犹太人的住棚节快到了， 3 耶稣的弟弟们对祂说：“离开这里，去犹太过节吧，好让你的门徒在那里也看见你所做的啊！ 4 因为人想出名，都不会暗地里行事，你既然可以做这些事，就把自己显给世人看吧！” 5 原来连祂的弟弟们也不信祂。
6 耶稣对他们说：“我的时候还没有到，你们什么时候都很方便。 7 世人不会恨你们，只会恨我，因为我指证他们行为邪恶。 8 你们先去过节吧，我现在还不上去，因为我的时候还没有到。” 9 耶稣说完这些话，仍留在加利利。
耶稣过住棚节
10 他们走了以后，耶稣避开了人们的注意，暗地里上去过节。 11 节期到了，犹太人到处查问：“耶稣在哪里？”
12 众人对祂议论纷纷，有些人说：“祂是好人，”有些说：“不，祂欺骗民众。” 13 不过，没有人敢公开议论祂的事，因为害怕犹太人。
14 节期约过了一半，耶稣来到圣殿教导人。 15 犹太人感到惊奇，说：“这个人没有受过教育，怎么懂得这么多呢？”
16 耶稣说：“我的教导不是出于我自己，而是出于差我来的那位。 17 如果你们愿意遵行上帝的旨意，就能分辨这些教导是出于上帝，还是出于我自己。 18 凭自己讲论的人是要寻求自己的荣耀，但人子真实无伪，毫无不义，祂是为了使差祂来的那位得荣耀。 19 摩西不是把律法传给了你们吗？你们却没有一个人遵守。为什么想要杀我呢？”
20 众人回答说：“你一定是被鬼附身了！谁要杀你啊？”
21 耶稣说：“我行了一件神迹，你们都感到惊奇。 22 摩西把割礼传给你们，你们也在安息日行割礼。其实割礼不是摩西定的，而是从祖先们的时代就有了。 23 为了避免违背摩西的律法，行割礼的那一天就算是安息日，你们还是照行。那么，我在安息日使一个病人完全康复，你们为什么责怪我呢？ 24 不要根据外表来断定是非，要按公义的原则判断。”
耶稣是基督吗
25 有些住在耶路撒冷的人说：“这不是他们要杀的那个人吗？ 26 你看祂这样公开讲道，居然没有人说什么，难道官长也真的认为祂是基督吗？ 27 可是基督来的时候，根本没有人知道祂从哪里来，我们却知道这个人是从哪里来的。”
28 于是，耶稣在圣殿里高声教导人说：“你们知道我是谁，也知道我是从哪里来的。其实我来不是出于自己的意思，差我来的那位是真实的，你们不认识祂。 29 但我认识祂，因为我是从祂那里来的，差我来的就是祂。” 30 他们听了，想捉拿耶稣，只是没有人下手，因为祂的时候还没有到。
31 人群中有许多人信了耶稣，他们说：“基督来的时候所行的神迹，难道会比这个人行得更多吗？”
32 法利赛人听见众人这样议论耶稣，就联合祭司长派差役去抓祂。 33 耶稣对众人说：“我暂时还会跟你们在一起，不久我要回到差我来的那位那里。 34 那时你们要找我却找不到，你们也不能去我所在的地方。”
35 犹太人彼此议论说：“祂要去哪里使我们找不着呢？难道祂要到我们犹太人侨居的希腊各地去教导希腊人吗？ 36 祂说我们找不到祂，又不能去祂所在的地方，是什么意思？”
活水的江河
37 节期最后一天，也是整个节期的高潮，耶稣站起来高声说：“人若渴了，可以到我这里来喝。 38 正如圣经所言，信我的人，‘从他里面要流出活水的江河来’。” 39 耶稣这话是指信祂的人要得到圣灵，但当时圣灵还没有降临，因为耶稣还没有得到荣耀。
40 听见这些话后，有些人说：“祂真是那位先知。” 41 也有些人说：“祂是基督。”还有些人说：“不会吧，基督怎么会出自加利利呢？ 42 圣经上不是说基督是大卫的后裔，要降生在大卫的故乡伯利恒吗？” 43 众人因为对耶稣的看法不同，就起了纷争。 44 有些人想抓祂，只是没有人下手。
犹太官长不信耶稣
45 祭司长和法利赛人看见差役空手回来，就问：“你们为什么不把祂带来呢？”
46 差役答道：“从未有人像祂那样说话！”
47 法利赛人说：“难道你们也被祂迷惑了吗？ 48 哪有官长和法利赛人信祂呢？ 49 这群不明白律法的民众该受咒诅！”
50 曾经夜访耶稣、属于他们当中一员的尼哥德慕说： 51 “难道不听被告申辩，不查明事实真相，我们的律法就定祂的罪吗？”
52 他们回答说：“难道你也是加利利人吗？你去查查看，就会知道没有先知是从加利利来的。”

Jesus Teaches at the Feast
7 After this, Jesus walked [from place to place] in Galilee, for He would not walk in Judea because the Jews were seeking to kill Him. 2 Now the Jewish [a]Feast of Tabernacles (Booths) was approaching. 3 So His [b]brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples [there] may also see the works that You do. 4 No one does anything in secret when he wants to be known publicly. If You [must] do these things, show Yourself openly to the world and make Yourself known!” 5 For not even His brothers believed in Him. 6 So Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come; but any time is right for you. 7 The world cannot hate you [since you are part of it], but it does hate Me because I denounce it and testify that its deeds are evil. 8 Go up to the feast yourselves. I am not going up to this feast because My time has not yet fully come.” 9 Having said these things to them, He stayed behind in Galilee.
10 But [afterward], when His brothers had gone up to the feast, He went up too, not publicly [with a caravan], but quietly [because He did not want to be noticed]. 11 So the Jews kept looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?” 12 There was a lot of whispered discussion and murmuring among the crowds about Him. Some were saying, “He is a good man”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He misleads the people [giving them false ideas].” 13 Yet no one was speaking out openly and freely about Him for fear of [the leaders of] the Jews.
14 When the feast was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple [court] and began to teach. 15 Then the Jews were perplexed. They said, “How [c]did this man become learned [so versed in the Scriptures and theology] [d]without formal training?” 16 Jesus answered them by saying, “My teaching is not My own, but His who sent Me. 17 If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know whether the teaching is of God or whether I speak on My own accord and by My own authority. 18 He who speaks on his own accord seeks glory and honor for himself. But He who seeks the glory and the honor of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness or deception in Him.
19 “Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not one of you keeps the Law. Why do you want to kill Me [for not keeping it]?” 20 The crowd answered, “You have a demon [You are out of Your mind]! Who wants to kill You?” 21 Jesus replied, “I did one [e]work, and you are all astounded.(A) 22 For this reason Moses has given you [God’s law regarding] circumcision (not that it originated with Moses, but with the patriarchs) and you circumcise a man [even] on the Sabbath. 23 If, to avoid breaking the Law of Moses, a man undergoes [f]circumcision on the Sabbath, why are you angry with Me for making a man’s whole body well on the Sabbath? 24 Do not judge by appearance [superficially and arrogantly], but judge fairly and righteously.”
25 Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, “Is this not the Man they want to kill? 26 Look, He is speaking publicly, and they say nothing to Him! Is it possible that the rulers really know that this is the Christ? 27 But we know where this Man is from; whenever the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from.” 28 Then Jesus called out as He taught in the temple, “You know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come on my own initiative [as self-appointed], but He who sent Me is true, and Him you do not know. 29 I know Him Myself because I am from Him [I came from His very presence] and it was He [personally] who sent Me.” 30 So they were eager to arrest Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His time had not yet come. 31 But many from the crowd believed in Him. And they kept saying, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs and exhibit more proofs than this Man?”
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things [under their breath] about Him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent [g]guards to arrest Him. 33 Therefore Jesus said, “For a little while longer I am [still] with you, and then I go to Him who sent Me. 34 You will look for Me, and will not [be able to] find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.” 35 Then the Jews said among themselves, “Where does this Man intend to go that we will not find Him? Does He intend to go to the Dispersion [of Jews scattered and living] among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? 36 What does this statement of His mean, ‘You will look for Me, and will not [be able to] find Me; and where I am, you cannot come’?”
37 Now on the last and most important day of the feast, Jesus stood and called out [in a loud voice], “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink! 38 He who believes in Me [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Me], as the Scripture has said, ‘From his innermost being will flow continually rivers of living water.’”(B) 39 But He was speaking of the [Holy] Spirit, whom those who believed in Him [as Savior] were to receive afterward. The Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to honor).
Division of People over Jesus
40 Listening to these words, some of the people said, “This is certainly the Prophet!”(C) 41 Others said, “This is the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed)!” But others said, “Surely the Christ is not going to come out of Galilee, is He? 42 Does the Scripture not say that the Christ comes from the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”(D) 43 So the crowd was divided because of Him. 44 Some of them wanted to arrest Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
45 Then the guards went [back] to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why did you not bring Him [here with you]?” 46 The guards replied, “Never [at any time] has a man talked the way this Man talks!” 47 Then the Pharisees said to them, “Have you also been deluded and swept off your feet? 48 Has any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Him? 49 But this [ignorant, contemptible] crowd that does not know the Law is accursed and doomed!” 50 Nicodemus (the one who came to Jesus before and was one of them) asked, 51 “Does our Law convict someone without first giving him a hearing and finding out what he is [accused of] doing?” 52 They responded, “Are you also from Galilee? Search [and read the Scriptures], and see [for yourself] that no prophet comes from Galilee!” 53 [h][And everyone went to his own house.

Jesus Goes to the Festival of Tabernacles
7 After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want[a] to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders(A) there were looking for a way to kill him.(B) 2 But when the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles(C) was near, 3 Jesus’ brothers(D) said to him, “Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do. 4 No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.” 5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him.(E)
6 Therefore Jesus told them, “My time(F) is not yet here; for you any time will do. 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me(G) because I testify that its works are evil.(H) 8 You go to the festival. I am not[b] going up to this festival, because my time(I) has not yet fully come.” 9 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
10 However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret. 11 Now at the festival the Jewish leaders were watching for Jesus(J) and asking, “Where is he?”
12 Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, “He is a good man.”
Others replied, “No, he deceives the people.”(K) 13 But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders.(L)
Jesus Teaches at the Festival
14 Not until halfway through the festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach.(M) 15 The Jews(N) there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning(O) without having been taught?”(P)
16 Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.(Q) 17 Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out(R) whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. 18 Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory,(S) but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him. 19 Has not Moses given you the law?(T) Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”(U)
20 “You are demon-possessed,”(V) the crowd answered. “Who is trying to kill you?”
21 Jesus said to them, “I did one miracle,(W) and you are all amazed. 22 Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision(X) (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs),(Y) you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath. 23 Now if a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing a man’s whole body on the Sabbath? 24 Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.”(Z)
Division Over Who Jesus Is
25 At that point some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?(AA) 26 Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities(AB) really concluded that he is the Messiah?(AC) 27 But we know where this man is from;(AD) when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from.”
28 Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts,(AE) cried out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from.(AF) I am not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is true.(AG) You do not know him, 29 but I know him(AH) because I am from him and he sent me.”(AI)
30 At this they tried to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him,(AJ) because his hour had not yet come.(AK) 31 Still, many in the crowd believed in him.(AL) They said, “When the Messiah comes, will he perform more signs(AM) than this man?”
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him.
33 Jesus said, “I am with you for only a short time,(AN) and then I am going to the one who sent me.(AO) 34 You will look for me, but you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come.”(AP)
35 The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we cannot find him? Will he go where our people live scattered(AQ) among the Greeks,(AR) and teach the Greeks? 36 What did he mean when he said, ‘You will look for me, but you will not find me,’ and ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”(AS)
37 On the last and greatest day of the festival,(AT) Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.(AU) 38 Whoever believes(AV) in me, as Scripture has said,(AW) rivers of living water(AX) will flow from within them.”[c](AY) 39 By this he meant the Spirit,(AZ) whom those who believed in him were later to receive.(BA) Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.(BB)
40 On hearing his words, some of the people said, “Surely this man is the Prophet.”(BC)
41 Others said, “He is the Messiah.”
Still others asked, “How can the Messiah come from Galilee?(BD) 42 Does not Scripture say that the Messiah will come from David’s descendants(BE) and from Bethlehem,(BF) the town where David lived?” 43 Thus the people were divided(BG) because of Jesus. 44 Some wanted to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.(BH)
Unbelief of the Jewish Leaders
45 Finally the temple guards went back to the chief priests and the Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring him in?”
46 “No one ever spoke the way this man does,”(BI) the guards replied.
47 “You mean he has deceived you also?”(BJ) the Pharisees retorted. 48 “Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?(BK) 49 No! But this mob that knows nothing of the law—there is a curse on them.”
50 Nicodemus,(BL) who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked, 51 “Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing?”
52 They replied, “Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.”(BM)
[The earliest manuscripts and many other ancient witnesses do not have John 7:53—8:11. A few manuscripts include these verses, wholly or in part, after John 7:36, John 21:25, Luke 21:38 or Luke 24:53.]
53 Then they all went home,

Jesús va a la fiesta de las Enramadas
7 Algún tiempo después, Jesús andaba por Galilea. No tenía ningún interés en ir a Judea, porque allí los judíos buscaban la oportunidad para matarlo. 2 Faltaba poco tiempo para la fiesta judía de las Enramadas, 3 así que los hermanos de Jesús le dijeron:
—Deberías salir de aquí e ir a Judea, para que tus discípulos vean las obras que realizas, 4 porque nadie que quiera darse a conocer actúa en secreto. Ya que haces estas cosas, deja que el mundo te conozca.
5 Lo cierto es que ni siquiera sus hermanos creían en él. 6 Por eso Jesús les dijo:
—Para ustedes cualquier tiempo es bueno, pero el tiempo mío aún no ha llegado. 7 El mundo no tiene motivos para aborrecerlos; a mí, sin embargo, me aborrece porque yo testifico que sus obras son malas. 8 Suban ustedes a la fiesta. Yo no voy todavía[a] a esta fiesta porque mi tiempo aún no ha llegado.
9 Dicho esto, se quedó en Galilea. 10 Sin embargo, después de que sus hermanos se fueron a la fiesta, fue también él, no públicamente, sino en secreto. 11 Por eso las autoridades judías lo buscaban durante la fiesta, y decían: «¿Dónde se habrá metido?».
12 Entre la multitud corrían muchos rumores acerca de él. Unos decían: «Es una buena persona». Otros alegaban: «No, lo que pasa es que engaña a la gente». 13 Sin embargo, por temor a las autoridades judías nadie hablaba de él abiertamente.
Jesús enseña en la fiesta
14 Jesús esperó hasta la mitad de la fiesta para subir al Templo y comenzar a enseñar. 15 Los judíos se admiraban y decían: «¿De dónde sacó este tantos conocimientos sin haber estudiado?».
16 —Mi enseñanza no es mía —respondió Jesús—, sino del que me envió. 17 El que esté dispuesto a hacer la voluntad de Dios reconocerá si mi enseñanza proviene de Dios o si yo hablo por mi propia cuenta. 18 El que habla por cuenta propia busca su vanagloria; en cambio, el que busca glorificar al que lo envió es una persona íntegra y sin maldad. 19 ¿No les ha dado Moisés la Ley a ustedes? Sin embargo, ninguno de ustedes la cumple. ¿Por qué tratan entonces de matarme?
20 —Estás endemoniado —contestó la multitud—. ¿Quién quiere matarte?
21 Jesús les dijo:
—Hice una señal milagrosa y todos ustedes han quedado asombrados. 22 Por eso Moisés les dio la circuncisión, que en realidad no proviene de Moisés, sino de los patriarcas y aun en sábado la practican. 23 Ahora bien, si para cumplir la Ley de Moisés circuncidan a un varón incluso en sábado, ¿por qué se enfurecen conmigo si en sábado lo sano por completo? 24 No juzguen por las apariencias; juzguen con justicia.
¿Es este el Cristo?
25 Algunos de los que vivían en Jerusalén comentaban: «¿No es este al que quieren matar? 26 Ahí está, hablando abiertamente y nadie le dice nada. ¿Será que las autoridades se han convencido de que es el Cristo? 27 Nosotros sabemos de dónde viene este hombre, pero cuando venga el Cristo nadie sabrá su procedencia».
28 Por eso Jesús, que seguía enseñando en el Templo, exclamó:
—¡Conque ustedes me conocen y saben de dónde vengo! No he venido por mi propia cuenta, sino que me envió uno que es digno de confianza. Ustedes no lo conocen, 29 pero yo sí lo conozco porque vengo de parte suya y él mismo me ha enviado.
30 Entonces quisieron arrestarlo, pero nadie le echó mano porque aún no había llegado su hora. 31 Con todo, muchos de entre la multitud creyeron en él y decían: «Cuando venga el Cristo, ¿acaso va a hacer más señales que este hombre?».
32 Los fariseos oyeron a la multitud que murmuraba estas cosas acerca de él y, junto con los jefes de los sacerdotes, mandaron unos guardias del Templo para arrestarlo.
33 —Voy a estar con ustedes un poco más de tiempo —afirmó Jesús—, y luego volveré al que me envió. 34 Me buscarán, pero no me encontrarán, porque adonde yo estaré ustedes no pueden ir.
35 «¿Y este a dónde piensa irse que no podamos encontrarlo? —comentaban entre sí los judíos—. ¿Será que piensa ir a nuestra gente dispersa entre las naciones para enseñar a los que no son judíos? 36 ¿Qué quiso decir con eso de que “me buscarán, pero no me encontrarán” y “adonde yo estaré ustedes no pueden ir”?».
Jesús en el último día de la fiesta
37 En el último día, el más solemne de la fiesta, Jesús se puso de pie y exclamó:
—¡Si alguno tiene sed, que venga a mí y beba! 38 De aquel que cree en mí, como dice[b] la Escritura, de su interior brotarán ríos de agua viva.
39 Con esto se refería al Espíritu que habrían de recibir más tarde los que creyeran en él. Hasta ese momento el Espíritu no había sido dado, porque Jesús no había sido glorificado todavía.
40 Al oír sus palabras, algunos de entre la multitud decían: «Verdaderamente este es el profeta». 41 Otros afirmaban: «¡Es el Cristo!». Pero otros objetaban: «¿Cómo puede el Cristo venir de Galilea? 42 ¿Acaso no dice la Escritura que el Cristo vendrá de la descendencia de David y que será de Belén, el pueblo de donde era David?». 43 Por causa de Jesús la gente estaba dividida. 44 Algunos querían arrestarlo, pero nadie le puso las manos encima.
Incredulidad de los dirigentes judíos
45 Los guardias del Templo volvieron a los jefes de los sacerdotes y a los fariseos, quienes los interrogaron:
—¿Se puede saber por qué no lo han traído?
46 —¡Nunca nadie ha hablado como ese hombre! —declararon los guardias.
47 —¿Así que también ustedes se han dejado engañar? —replicaron los fariseos—. 48 ¿Acaso ha creído en él alguno de los gobernantes o de los fariseos? 49 ¡No! Pero esta gente, que no sabe nada de la Ley, está bajo maldición.
50 Nicodemo, que era uno de ellos y antes había ido a ver a Jesús, les preguntó:
51 —¿Acaso nuestra Ley condena a un hombre sin antes escucharlo y averiguar lo que hace?
52 —¿También tú eres de Galilea? —respondieron—. Investiga y verás que de Galilea no ha salido ningún profeta.[c]

7 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
36 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
