²³ Now when He was in Jerusalem at ^(A)the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name as they ^(B)observed His signs which He was doing.

² this man came to ^[a]Jesus at night and said to Him, “^(A)Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these ^[b](B)signs that You do unless ^(C)God is with him.”

⁵⁴ This is again a ^(A)second ^[a]sign that Jesus performed when He had ^(B)come from Judea into Galilee.

² A large crowd was following Him, because they were watching the ^[a](A)signs which He was performing on those who were sick.

¹⁴ Therefore when the people saw the ^[a]sign which He had performed, they said, “This is truly the ^(A)Prophet who is to come into the world.”

Words to the People

²⁶ Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you ^(A)seek Me, not because you saw ^[a](B)signs, but because you ate some of the loaves and were filled.

³⁰ So they said to Him, “^(A)What then are You doing as a ^(B)sign, so that we may see, and believe You? What work are You performing?

³¹ But ^(A)many of the crowd believed in Him; and they were saying, “^(B)When the ^[a]Christ comes, He will not perform more ^[b](C)signs than those which this man has done, will He?”

¹⁶ Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because He ^(A)does not keep the Sabbath.” But others were saying, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such ^[a](B)signs?” And ^(C)there was dissension among them.
