Jesus Christ » History of » Teaches in jerusalem at the feast of tabernacles
But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught. The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me. read more.
If any one is desirous to do his will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from myself. He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and in him is no unrighteousness. Hath not Moses given you the Law? and none of you keepeth the Law! Why do ye seek to kill me? The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon! Who seeketh to kill thee? Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one good work, and ye are all wondering. Moses hath given you circumcision, (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man. If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye angry at me, because I have restored soundness to the whole body of a man on the sabbath? Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Then some of the men of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? and see! he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers discovered certainly that this man is the Christ? Still, as to this man, we know whence he is; but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is. Jesus therefore cried aloud, teaching in the temple and saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but there is in truth one who sent me, whom ye know not. I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me. Therefore they sought to take him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come. But of the multitude many believed in him, and said, When the Christ cometh, will he do more signs than these which this man doeth? The Pharisees heard the multitude thus debating concerning him; and the chief priest and the Pharisees sent officers to seize him. Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while I am with you, and then I go to him that sent me. Ye will seek me and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come. The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will this man go, that we shall not find him? Will he go to the dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? What meaneth this which he said, Ye will seek me, and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come? On the last day, which is the great day, of the feast, Jesus stood and cried aloud, saying, If any one thirst, let him come to me, and drink. He that believeth in me, from within him, as the Scripture hath said, will flow rivers of living water. But this he said of the Spirit, which those that believed in him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is in truth the prophet. Others said, This is the Christ. Others said, Doth the Christ then come from Galilee? Hath not the Scripture said, that the Christ cometh from the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was? So there was a division among the multitude because of him. And some of them wished to seize him; but no one laid hands on him. The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why did ye not bring him? The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man. The Pharisees answered them, Have ye also been deceived? Hath any one of the rulers believed in him? or of the Pharisees? but this multitude that know not the Law are accursed. Nicodemus saith to them, being one of them, Doth our law judge a man, unless it first hear from him, and know what he doeth? They answered and said to him, Art thou too from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet ariseth from Galilee. {Joh 7:538:12: This passage is omitted as ungenuine by Tischendorf and most critical editors of the Greek Testament. It is found in some manuscripts, but not in the most ancient. It is, however, very generally regarded as a genuine relic of the teaching of Christ, though not forming a part of the fourth Gospel. I give it in the text of Tregelles, omitting the words which he incloses in brackets. Tregelles, however, does not suppose it to be genuine.} [And they went each to his house;

Nicodemus » Becomes a disciple of jesus
And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou hast come as a teacher from God; for no one can do these signs which thou doest, unless God be with him. Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly do I say to thee, Unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. read more.
Nicodemus saith to him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mothers womb a second time, and be born? Jesus answered, Truly, truly do I say to thee, Unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit. Marvel not that I said to thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it will; and thou hearest the sound thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?

Then Paul, after the governor had beckoned to him to speak, answered, Since I know that thou hast been for many years a judge for this nation, I answer for myself cheerfully; for it is in thy power to ascertain that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship. And neither in the temple did they find me disputing with any one, or stirring up a tumult of the people, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city; read more.
nor can they prove the things of which they now accuse me. But this I acknowledge to thee, that according to the way [of belief] which they call a sect, so do I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and by the Prophets; having a hope in God, which they themselves also entertain, that there will be a resurrection both of the righteous and the unrighteous. On this ground do I also myself strive to have always a conscience void of offence toward God and toward men. And after some years I came to bring alms to my nation, and to make offerings; in doing which they found me purified in the temple, not with a crowd nor with tumult; but certain Jews from Asia [caused it], who ought to be here before thee, and make their charge, if they had aught against me. Or, let these men themselves say what wrongdoing they found in me when I stood before the council, except in relation to this one expression, which I uttered aloud while standing among them: Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am tried before you this day.

And when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what must we do? But Peter said to them, Repent, and let every one of you be baptized to the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all that are afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call. read more.

But Paul said to them, They have publicly beaten us uncondemned, although we are Romans, and have thrust us into prison; and now do they thrust us out secretly? No; but let them come themselves, and bring us out. And the sergeants reported these words to the magistrates; and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.

But when they had stretched him out with the cords, Paul said to the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?

He said, Yes. read more.
The chief captain answered, For a great sum I obtained this citizenship. And Paul said, But I was born a Roman. They therefore who were about to examine him left him immediately.

On the morrow, wishing to have certain knowledge why he was accused by the Jews, he released him, and ordered the chief priests and all the council to assemble; and bringing Paul down, he set him before them.
