A incredulidade dos irmãos de Jesus
7 E, depois disso, Jesus andava pela Galileia e já não queria andar pela Judeia, pois os judeus procuravam matá-lo. 2 E estava próxima a festa dos judeus chamada de Festa dos Tabernáculos. 3 Disseram-lhe, pois, seus irmãos: Sai daqui e vai para a Judeia, para que também os teus discípulos vejam as obras que fazes. 4 Porque não há ninguém que procure ser conhecido que faça coisa alguma em oculto. Se fazes essas coisas, manifesta-te ao mundo. 5 Porque nem mesmo seus irmãos criam nele. 6 Disse-lhes, pois, Jesus: Ainda não é chegado o meu tempo, mas o vosso tempo sempre está pronto. 7 O mundo não vos pode odiar, mas ele me odeia a mim, porquanto dele testifico que as suas obras são más. 8 Subi vós a esta festa; eu não subo ainda a esta festa, porque ainda o meu tempo não está cumprido. 9 E, havendo-lhes dito isso, ficou na Galileia.
Jesus ensina no templo na Festa dos Tabernáculos. Dissensão entre os judeus
10 Mas, quando seus irmãos já tinham subido à festa, então, subiu ele também não manifestamente, mas como em oculto. 11 Ora, os judeus procuravam-no na festa e diziam: Onde está ele? 12 E havia grande murmuração entre a multidão a respeito dele. Diziam alguns: Ele é bom. E outros diziam: Não; antes, engana o povo. 13 Todavia, ninguém falava dele abertamente, por medo dos judeus.
14 Mas, no meio da festa, subiu Jesus ao templo e ensinava. 15 E os judeus maravilhavam-se, dizendo: Como sabe este letras, não as tendo aprendido? 16 Jesus respondeu e disse-lhes: A minha doutrina não é minha, mas daquele que me enviou. 17 Se alguém quiser fazer a vontade dele, pela mesma doutrina, conhecerá se ela é de Deus ou se eu falo de mim mesmo. 18 Quem fala de si mesmo busca a sua própria glória, mas o que busca a glória daquele que o enviou, esse é verdadeiro, e não há nele injustiça. 19 Não vos deu Moisés a lei? E nenhum de vós observa a lei. Por que procurais matar-me? 20 A multidão respondeu e disse: Tens demônio; quem procura matar-te? 21 Respondeu Jesus e disse-lhes: Fiz uma obra, e todos vos maravilhais. 22 Pelo motivo de que Moisés vos deu a circuncisão (não que fosse de Moisés, mas dos pais), no sábado circuncidais um homem. 23 Se o homem recebe a circuncisão no sábado, para que a lei de Moisés não seja quebrantada, indignais-vos contra mim, porque, no sábado, curei de todo um homem? 24 Não julgueis segundo a aparência, mas julgai segundo a reta justiça.
25 Então, alguns dos de Jerusalém diziam: Não é este o que procuram matar? 26 E ei-lo aí está falando abertamente, e nada lhe dizem. Porventura, sabem, verdadeiramente, os príncipes, que este é o Cristo? 27 Todavia, bem sabemos de onde este é; mas, quando vier o Cristo, ninguém saberá de onde ele é. 28 Clamava, pois, Jesus no templo, ensinando e dizendo: Vós me conheceis e sabeis de onde sou; e eu não vim de mim mesmo, mas aquele que me enviou é verdadeiro, o qual vós não conheceis. 29 Mas eu conheço-o, porque dele sou, e ele me enviou. 30 Procuravam, pois, prendê-lo, mas ninguém lançou mão dele, porque ainda não era chegada a sua hora. 31 E muitos da multidão creram nele e diziam: Quando o Cristo vier, fará ainda mais sinais do que os que este tem feito?
32 Os fariseus ouviram que a multidão murmurava dele essas coisas; e os fariseus e os principais dos sacerdotes mandaram servidores para o prenderem. 33 Disse-lhes, pois, Jesus: Ainda um pouco de tempo estou convosco e, depois, vou para aquele que me enviou. 34 Vós me buscareis e não me achareis; e aonde eu estou vós não podeis vir. 35 Disseram, pois, os judeus uns para os outros: Para onde irá este, que o não acharemos? Irá, porventura, para os dispersos entre os gregos e ensinará os gregos? 36 Que palavra é esta que disse: Buscar-me-eis e não me achareis; e: Aonde eu estou, vós não podeis ir?
37 E, no último dia, o grande dia da festa, Jesus pôs-se em pé e clamou, dizendo: Se alguém tem sede, que venha a mim e beba. 38 Quem crê em mim, como diz a Escritura, rios de água viva correrão do seu ventre. 39 E isso disse ele do Espírito, que haviam de receber os que nele cressem; porque o Espírito Santo ainda não fora dado, por ainda Jesus não ter sido glorificado.
40 Então, muitos da multidão, ouvindo essa palavra, diziam: Verdadeiramente, este é o Profeta. 41 Outros diziam: Este é o Cristo; mas diziam outros: Vem, pois, o Cristo da Galileia? 42 Não diz a Escritura que o Cristo vem da descendência de Davi e de Belém, da aldeia de onde era Davi? 43 Assim, entre o povo havia dissensão por causa dele. 44 E alguns deles queriam prendê-lo, mas ninguém lançou mão dele.
45 E os servidores foram ter com os principais dos sacerdotes e fariseus; e eles lhes perguntaram: Por que o não trouxestes? 46 Responderam os servidores: Nunca homem algum falou assim como este homem. 47 Responderam-lhes, pois, os fariseus: Também vós fostes enganados? 48 Creu nele, porventura, algum dos principais ou dos fariseus? 49 Mas esta multidão, que não sabe a lei, é maldita. 50 Nicodemos, que era um deles (o que de noite fora ter com Jesus), disse-lhes: 51 Porventura, condena a nossa lei um homem sem primeiro o ouvir e ter conhecimento do que faz? 52 Responderam eles e disseram-lhe: És tu também da Galileia? Examina e verás que da Galileia nenhum profeta surgiu. 53 E cada um foi para sua casa.

Jesus e seus irmãos
7 Depois disso, Jesus viajou pela Galileia. Queria ficar longe da Judeia, onde os líderes judeus planejavam sua morte. 2 Logo, porém, chegou o tempo da celebração judaica chamada Festa das Cabanas, 3 e os irmãos de Jesus lhe disseram: “Saia daqui e vá à Judeia, onde seus seguidores poderão ver os milagres que realiza. 4 Você não se tornará famoso escondendo-se dessa forma. Se você pode fazer coisas tão maravilhosas, mostre-se ao mundo!”. 5 Pois nem mesmo seus irmãos criam nele.
6 Jesus respondeu: “Agora não é o momento certo de eu ir, mas vocês podem ir a qualquer hora. 7 O mundo não pode odiá-los, mas a mim ele odeia, pois eu o acuso de fazer o mal. 8 Vão vocês. Eu ainda[a] não irei a essa festa, pois meu tempo ainda não chegou”. 9 Tendo dito isso, permaneceu na Galileia.
Jesus ensina abertamente no templo
10 Contudo, depois que seus irmãos partiram para a festa, ele também foi, mas em segredo, permanecendo distante dos olhos do público. 11 Os líderes judeus tentavam encontrá-lo na festa e perguntavam se alguém o tinha visto. 12 Havia muita discussão a seu respeito entre as multidões. Alguns afirmavam: “Ele é um homem bom”, enquanto outros diziam: “Ele não passa de um impostor, que engana o povo”. 13 Mas ninguém tinha coragem de falar sobre ele em público, por medo dos líderes judeus.
14 Então, na metade da festa, Jesus subiu ao templo e começou a ensinar. 15 Os judeus que estavam ali ficaram admirados ao ouvi-lo. “Como ele sabe tanto sem ter estudado?”, perguntavam.
16 Jesus lhes respondeu: “Minha mensagem não vem de mim mesmo; vem daquele que me enviou. 17 Quem quiser fazer a vontade de Deus saberá se meu ensino vem dele ou se falo por mim mesmo. 18 Aquele que fala por si mesmo busca sua própria glória, mas quem procura honrar aquele que o enviou diz a verdade, e não mentiras. 19 Moisés lhes deu a lei, mas nenhum de vocês obedece a ela. Então por que procuram me matar?”.
20 A multidão respondeu: “Você está possuído por demônio! Quem procura matá-lo?”.
21 Jesus respondeu: “Eu fiz um milagre no sábado, e vocês ficaram admirados. 22 No entanto, vocês também trabalham no sábado quando obedecem à lei da circuncisão que Moisés lhes deu, embora, na verdade, a circuncisão tenha começado com os patriarcas, muito antes da lei de Moisés. 23 Pois, se o tempo certo de circuncidar seu filho cai no sábado, vocês realizam a cerimônia, a fim de não quebrar a lei de Moisés. Então por que ficam indignados comigo pelo fato de eu curar um homem no sábado? 24 Não julguem de acordo com as aparências, mas julguem de maneira justa”.
Jesus é o Messias?
25 Alguns do povo, que moravam em Jerusalém, começaram a perguntar uns aos outros: “Não é este o homem a quem procuram matar? 26 Aqui está ele, porém, falando em público, e não lhe dizem coisa alguma. Será que nossos líderes acreditam que ele é o Cristo? 27 Mas como pode ser este homem? Sabemos de onde ele vem. Quando o Cristo vier, ninguém saberá de onde ele é”.
28 Enquanto ensinava no templo, Jesus disse em alta voz: “Sim, vocês me conhecem e sabem de onde eu venho. Mas não estou aqui por minha própria conta. Aquele que me enviou é verdadeiro, e vocês não o conhecem. 29 Mas eu o conheço, porque venho dele, e ele me enviou a vocês”. 30 Então tentaram prendê-lo, mas ninguém pôs as mãos nele, porque ainda não havia chegado sua hora.
31 Muitos entre as multidões no templo creram nele e diziam: “Afinal, alguém espera que o Cristo faça mais sinais do que este homem tem feito?”.
32 Quando os fariseus ouviram que as multidões sussurravam essas coisas, eles e os principais sacerdotes enviaram guardas do templo para prendê-lo. 33 Jesus, porém, lhes disse: “Estarei com vocês só um pouco mais. Então voltarei para aquele que me enviou. 34 Vocês procurarão por mim, mas não me encontrarão. E não poderão ir para onde eu vou”.
35 Os judeus se perguntavam: “Para onde ele pretende ir? Será que planeja partir e ir aos judeus em outras terras?[b] Talvez até ensine aos gregos! 36 O que ele quer dizer quando fala: ‘Vocês procurarão por mim, mas não me encontrarão’ e ‘Não poderão ir para onde eu vou’?”.
Jesus promete água viva
37 No último dia, o mais importante da festa, Jesus se levantou e disse em alta voz: “Quem tem sede, venha a mim e beba! 38 Pois as Escrituras declaram: ‘Rios de água viva brotarão do interior de quem crer em mim’”. 39 Quando ele falou de “água viva”, estava se referindo ao Espírito que seria dado mais tarde a todos que nele cressem. Naquela ocasião o Espírito ainda não tinha sido dado, pois Jesus ainda não havia sido glorificado.
Divisão e descrença
40 Quando as multidões o ouviram dizer isso, alguns declararam: “Certamente este homem é o profeta por quem esperávamos”.[c] 41 Outros afirmaram: “Ele é o Cristo”. E ainda outros disseram: “Não é possível! O Cristo virá da Galileia? 42 As Escrituras afirmam claramente que o Cristo nascerá da linhagem real de Davi, em Belém, o povoado onde o rei Davi nasceu”.[d] 43 Assim, a multidão estava dividida a respeito de Jesus. 44 Alguns queriam que ele fosse preso, mas ninguém pôs as mãos nele.
45 Quando os guardas do templo voltaram sem ter prendido Jesus, os principais sacerdotes e fariseus perguntaram: “Por que vocês não o trouxeram?”.
46 “Nunca ouvimos alguém falar como ele!”, responderam.
47 “Vocês também foram enganados?”, zombaram os fariseus. 48 “Por acaso um de nós que seja, entre os líderes ou fariseus, crê nele? 49 As multidões ignorantes o seguem, mas elas não têm conhecimento da lei. São amaldiçoadas!”
50 Então Nicodemos, o líder que antes havia se encontrado com Jesus, perguntou: 51 “A lei permite condenar um homem antes mesmo de haver uma audiência?”.
52 “Você também é da Galileia?”, responderam eles. “Procure e veja por si mesmo: nenhum profeta vem da Galileia!”
53 Então todos foram para casa.[e]

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.
44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
53 And every man went unto 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,

Jesus’ Brothers Disbelieve
7 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for He did not want to walk in Judea, (A)because the [a]Jews sought to kill Him. 2 (B)Now the Jews’ Feast of Tabernacles was at hand. 3 (C)His brothers therefore said to Him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing. 4 For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.” 5 For (D)even His (E)brothers did not believe in Him.
6 Then Jesus said to them, (F)“My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. 7 (G)The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me (H)because I testify of it that its works are evil. 8 You go up to this feast. I am not [b]yet going up to this feast, (I)for My time has not yet fully come.” 9 When He had said these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
The Heavenly Scholar
10 But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. 11 Then (J)the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, “Where is He?” 12 And (K)there was much complaining among the people concerning Him. (L)Some said, “He is good”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He deceives the people.” 13 However, no one spoke openly of Him (M)for fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and (N)taught. 15 (O)And the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this Man know letters, having never studied?”
16 [c]Jesus answered them and said, (P)“My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 17 (Q)If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority. 18 (R)He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who (S)seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and (T)no unrighteousness is in Him. 19 (U)Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? (V)Why do you seek to kill Me?”
20 The people answered and said, (W)“You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?”
21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel. 22 (X)Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, (Y)but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because (Z)I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? 24 (AA)Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
Could This Be the Christ?
25 Now some of them from Jerusalem said, “Is this not He whom they seek to (AB)kill? 26 But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. (AC)Do the rulers know indeed that this is [d]truly the Christ? 27 (AD)However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from.”
28 Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, (AE)“You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and (AF)I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me (AG)is true, (AH)whom you do not know. 29 [e]But (AI)I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
30 Therefore (AJ)they sought to take Him; but (AK)no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come. 31 And (AL)many of the people believed in Him, and said, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?”
Jesus and the Religious Leaders
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him. 33 Then Jesus said [f]to them, (AM)“I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I (AN)go to Him who sent Me. 34 You (AO)will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you (AP)cannot come.”
35 Then the Jews said among themselves, “Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to (AQ)the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What is this thing that He said, ‘You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come’?”
The Promise of the Holy Spirit
37 (AR)On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, (AS)“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 (AT)He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, (AU)out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 (AV)But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those [g]believing in Him would receive; for the [h]Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet (AW)glorified.
Who Is He?
40 Therefore [i]many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, “Truly this is (AX)the Prophet.” 41 Others said, “This is (AY)the Christ.”
But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee? 42 (AZ)Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, (BA)where David was?” 43 So (BB)there was a division among the people because of Him. 44 Now (BC)some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
Rejected by the Authorities
45 Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why have you not brought Him?”
46 The officers answered, (BD)“No man ever spoke like this Man!”
47 Then the Pharisees answered them, “Are you also deceived? 48 Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in Him? 49 But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.”
50 Nicodemus (BE)(he who came to [j]Jesus [k]by night, being one of them) said to them, 51 (BF)“Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?”
52 They answered and said to him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and look, for (BG)no prophet [l]has arisen out of Galilee.”
An Adulteress Faces the Light of the World
53 [m]And everyone went to his own house.
