Jesus answered them, I perform'd one single miracle on the sabbath, and does that alarm you? Moses enjoin'd you circumcision (or rather not Moses, but the patriarchs) accordingly you circumcise a man on the sabbath-day. if to avoid the violation of the Mosaic law, a man be exposed to circumcision on the sabbath-day, are ye angry at me, because I cured a man, whose whole body was indisposed on the sabbath-day? judge not according to appearances, but judge according to equity. Then some that belong'd to Jerusalem, said, is not this he whom they seek to kill? yet there he is talking publickly without any opposition: are not the rulers convinc'd that he is the Messiah? however, we know from what quarter this man comes: but when Christ comes it will be unknown whence he came. Jesus then pursuing his discourse in the temple, rais'd his voice, and said, you know both who I am, and whence I am: however, I am not come of my self, but he that sent me is worthy of belief, him you are unacquainted with. but I know him, for I am from him, and he hath sent me. then they design'd to seize him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. besides many of the people believed on him, and said, when Christ comes, will he do more miracles than this man hath done? (the Pharisees being inform'd what the people rumour'd concerning him, they and the chief priests sent their officers to seize him.) then said Jesus, I shall be with you but for a little time, and then I shall go to him that sent me. ye shall seek me, but shall not find me: and where I shall go, thither ye cannot come. upon which the Jews said among themselves, whither will he go, that we cannot find him? will he go to the dispersed Jews among the Greeks, and instruct the Greeks? what does he mean by saying, "ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I go, thither ye cannot come?" In the last day, the most solemn day of the feast, Jesus being there, raised his voice, and said, if any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink. he that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water. (but this he meant of the spirit, which they that believed on him, should receive: for the spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.) many of the people therefore, who heard this discourse, said, this man is certainly a prophet. some said, this is the Messias. but said others, shall the Messias come out of Galilee? hath not the scripture said, that the Messiah is to rise out of the family of David, and out of Bethlehem, the village where David was born? so that the people were divided in their opinions about him. and some of them had a mind to seize him; but nobody laid hands on him. when the officers return'd to the chief priests and Pharisees, they asked them, why have ye not brought him? the officers answered, never did man speak like this man. upon which the Pharisees answered, are ye also seduced? have any of the rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him? but the populace, who are ignorant of the law, are such wretches. thereupon Nicodemus, he that came to Jesus by night, and was then present, said to them, said to them, doth our law condemn any man before he is heard, without knowing the fact? they answered him, are you also of Galilee? search the scriptures, and you will not find that a prophet did ever arise out of Galilee. and every man went to his own house.

As Jesus was teaching in the temple, he address'd himself to them, saying, why do the Scribes maintain that Christ is the son of David? for David himself, who was inspired by the holy spirit, has this expression, "the Lord said to my Lord, sit thou at my right hand till I make thy enemies thy foot-stool." now since David himself calls him Lord, how can he be David's son? and the common people heard him with pleasure. read more.
