Jesus Christ » History of » Teaches in jerusalem at the feast of tabernacles
But, it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and was teaching. The Jews, therefore, were marveling, saying, "How knoweth This Man letters, having never learned!" Jesus, therefore, answered them, and said, "My teaching is not Mine, but His Who sent Me. read more.
If any one wills to do His will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from Myself. He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He Who seeketh the glory of Him Who sent Him the Same is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Did not Moses give you the law? and not one of you does the law. Why are ye seeking to kill Me?" The multitude answered, "Thou hast a demon: who is seeking to kill you!" Jesus answered, and said to them, "I did one work, and ye all marvel because of this. Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers); and on the sabbath ye circumcise a man. If a man receives circumcision on a sabbath, that the law of Moses be not broken, are ye angry with Me, because I made a whole man well on the sabbath? Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment." Some, therefore, of those of Jerusalem said, "Is not This He Whom they are seeking to kill? And, behold, He is speaking openly, and they say nothing to Him! Did the rulers ever truly know that This is the Christ? But as to This Man we know whence He is; but, when the Christ cometh, no one knows whence He is." Jesus, therefore, cried in the temple, teaching and saying, "Ye both know Me, and know whence I am; and I have not come of Myself; but He Who sent Me is true, Whom ye know not. I know Him; because I am from Him, and He sent Me." They were seeking, therefore, to seize Him; and no one laid his hand upon Him, because His hour had not yet come. But of the multitude many believed on Him, and said, "When the Christ shall come, will He do more signs than those which This Man did?" The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning Him; and the high priests and the Pharisees sent officers to seize Him. Jesus, therefore, said, "Yet a little while am I with you, and I go to Him Who sent Me. Ye will seek Me, and will not find Me; and, where I am, ye cannot come." The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, "Where is This Man about to go, that we shall not find Him? Is He about to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? What is this word that He said, 'Ye will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, ye cannot come?'" Now, on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood, and cried, saying, "If anyone thirst, let him come to Me and drink. He that believes on Me, as the Scripture said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water." But this He spake concerning the Spirit, Whom those who believed on Him were about to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Some of the multitude, therefore, having heard these words, said, "Truly This is the Prophet;" others said, "This is the Christ;" but some said, "What? doth the Christ come out of Nazareth?" Did not the Scriptures say, that the Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?" A division, therefore, arose in the multitude because of Him. And some of them were wishing to seize Him; but no one laid hands on Him. The officers, therefore, came to the high priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did ye not bring Him?" The officers answered, "Never did man speak thus!" The Pharisees; therefore, answered them, "Have ye also been led astray? Did any one of the rulers believe on Him, or of the Pharisees? But this multitude, who know not the law, are accursed." Nicodemus says to them (he who came to Him before, being one of them), "Does our law judge a man, unless it first hear from him, and know what he does?" They answered, and said to him, "Are you also of Galilee? Search, and see that out of Galilee arises no prophet." [And each one went to his house;

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered Him, saying, "Teacher, we wish to see a sign from Thee." And He, answering, said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation is seeking after a sign; and no sign shall be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet.
Then, His disciples, coming near, say to Him, "Knowest Thou that the Pharisees, having heard the saying, were made to stumble?"
