Jesus Christ » History of » Teaches in jerusalem at the feast of tabernacles
And in the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught. Then the Jews wondered, saying, How does this man know letters, not having learned? Then Jesus answered them and said, My teaching is not mine but his that sent me. read more.
If any one will do his will, he shall know of the teaching whether it is from God or whether I speak from myself. He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him that sent him, this [man] is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. Did not Moses give you the law? and no one of you performs the law. Why do you seek to kill me? The multitude answered, You have a demon; who seeks to kill you? Jesus answered and said to them, I performed one work and you all wonder. Moses gave you circumcision, not that it is of Moses but of the fathers, and you circumcise a man on the sabbath. If a man receives circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man entirely sound on the sabbath? Judge not according to the appearance, but judge a righteous judgment. Then some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? And behold, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers at length learned that this is the Christ? But we know this man whence he is; but when the Christ comes, no one knows whence he is. Then Jesus cried, teaching in the temple and saying, You both know me and know whence I am; and I have not come of myself; but he that sent me is true, whom you know not; I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me. Then they sought to take him by force; but no man laid a hand on him, for his hour had not yet come. And many of the multitude believed on him, and said, When the Christ comes will he perform more miracles than this man has performed? The Pharisees heard the multitude saying these things concerning him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent to take him by force. Then Jesus said, Yet a little while am I with you, and I go to him that sent me. You shall seek and shall not find, and where I am you cannot come. Then the Jews said one to another, Where is this man about to go, that we shall not find him? Will he go to the dispersion of the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? What does the word which he said mean; You shall seek and shall not find me, and where I am you cannot come? And on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any one thirsts, let him come to me and drink. He that believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of him shall flow rivers of living water. But he said this of the Spirit which those believing in him were about to receive; for the Spirit was not yet [given], because Jesus was not yet glorified. Then some of the multitude hearing these words, said, This is truly the prophet; others said, This is the Christ; others said, [No]; for does the Christ come from Galilee? Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was? Then there was a division among the multitude on his account; and some of them wished to take him by force, but no one laid hands on him. Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, Why have you not brought him? The officers answered, A man never spoke thus. The Pharisees answered them, Are you also deceived? Has any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees? But this multitude which know not the law are accursed. Nicodemus, he that came to him, being one of them, said to them, Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he does? They answered and said to him, Are you also from Galilee? search and see; for no prophet is raised up from Galilee. [An early interpolation, but probably true]. And every man went to his own house;

Sabbath » Doing good works on the sabbath
and behold a man having a withered hand [was there]. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.

and he put his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. And the synagogue ruler answered, being angry because Jesus had performed a cure on the sabbath, and said to the multitude, There are six days in which you ought to work; in them, therefore, come and be cured, and not on the sabbath. Then the Lord answered him and said, Hypocrites, does not each of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead him away to drink? And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, behold, eighteen years, to be released from this bond on the sabbath? And when he had said these things all his enemies were ashamed; and all the people rejoiced on account of all the glorious works performed by him.

The baptism of John; was it from heaven, or of men? answer me. And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we say from heaven, he will say, Why did you not believe him?

And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

And many rich men cast in much; and one poor widow came and cast in two lepta, which is a quadrans [4 mills].
