"No, on the contrary, he deceives the people." 13 However, no one spoke
openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the
temple and taught. 15 And the Jews marveled, saying, "How did this man
get such learning, having never studied?" 16 Jesus answered them, "My
teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. 17 If anyone is willing to do
his will, he shall know whether the teaching is from God or whether I
speak on my own authority. 18 He who speaks from himself seeks his
own glory; but he who seeks the glory of the One who sent him is true,
and in him there is no falsehood. 19 Did not Moses give you the law? Yet
none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?" 20 The people
answered, "You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill you?" 21 Jesus
answered them, "I did one deed, and you all marvel. 22 Moses therefore
gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers),
and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If on the Sabbath a man
receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are
you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body
well? 24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment."
25 Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, "Is not this the
man whom they seek to kill? 26 Here he is, speaking publicly, and they
say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that he is
the Christ? 27 But we know where this man is from; when the Christ
comes, no one will know where he is from." 28 Then Jesus cried out, as
he taught in the temple, "You know me, and you know where I am from;
and I have not come on my own, but he who sent me is true, and him you
do not know. 29 But I know him, for I am from him, and he sent me." 30
Then they sought to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his
hour had not yet come. 31 And many of the people believed in him, and
they said, "When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than this man
has done?"
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about
him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to arrest him. 33
Then Jesus said to them, "I shall be with you a little while longer, and
then I go to him who sent me. 34 You will seek me, and you will not find
me; where I am you cannot come." 35 The Jews said to one another,
"Where does this man intend to go that we shall not find him? Does he
intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36
What does he mean when he said, 'You will seek me and you will not
find me,' and, 'Where I am you cannot come'?"
37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and
cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 38 He who
believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers
of living water." 39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who
