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;

Nicodemus » Becomes a disciple of jesus
Now there was a man of the Pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night, and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that Thou hast come, as a Teacher, from God; for no one can do the signs which Thou art doing, unless God be with Him." Jesus answered, and said to him, "Verily, verily, I say to you, unless one be born anew, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." read more.
Nicodemus says to Him, "How can a man he born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and he born?" Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say to you, unless one be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. That which has been born of the flesh is flesh: and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said to you, ye must be born anew. The Spirit breatheth where He willeth; and you hear His voice, but know not whence He cometh, or whither He goeth: so is every one who has been born of the Spirit." Nicodemus answered, and said to Him, "How can these things be?" Jesus answered, and said to him, "Are you a teacher of Israel, and understand not these things?

Self-defense » Accused persons heard in
And Paul answered, the governor having beckoned to him to speak: "Knowing that you, for many years, have been a judge to this nation, cheerfully do I make defense as to the things concerning myself; since you are able clearly to know that there are 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 causing a stirring up of a multitude, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city; read more.
nor are they able to prove to you the things of which they are now accusing me. But I confess this to you, that, according to the Way which they call 'heresy,' so I worship the God of our fathers, believing all those things, which are according to the law, and which have been written in the prophets; having hope toward God??hich these themselves also are looking for??hat there will be a resurrection, both of the righteous and unrighteous. In this I myself also am striving always to have a conscience void of offense toward God and men. Now, after many years, I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings; amidst which they found me purified in the temple, neither with a multitude, nor with a tumult; but there were certain Jews from Asia, who ought to be present before you and accuse me, if they have anything against me. Or let these themselves say what wrong they found in me when standing before the Sanhedrin, except concerning this one voice with which I cried aloud, standing among them, 'Concerning a resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you this day.'

And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, "Art Thou the King of the Jews?" And Jesus said to him, "You say it." And, while He was being accused by the high priests and elders, He answered nothing. Then says Pilate to Him, "Hearest Thou not how many things they testify against Thee?" read more.
And He did not answer him, not even to one word; so that the governor greatly wondered.

And, hearing this, they were pricked in the heart, and said to Peter, and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren! what shall we do?" And Peter said to them, "Repent, and be immersed each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, unto remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit; for the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all those afar off??s many as the Lord our God shall call to Him." read more.

Trial » The right of
But Paul said to them "Having beaten us in public, uncondemned, being Romans, they cast us into prison; and now are they casting us out secretly? Nay, verily; but, coming themselves, let them lead us out." And the serjeants reported these words to the magistrates; and they were afraid, when they heard that they were Romans; and, coming, they besought them; and, leading them forth, they kept asking them to go away from the city.
And, as they stretched him out for the thongs, Paul said to the centurion standing by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man, who is a Roman, and uncondemned?" And the centurion, hearing it, going to the chief captain, reported it, saying, "What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman!" And the chief captain, going forward, said to him, "Tell me, are you a Roman?" And he said, "Yes." read more.
And the chief captain answered, "I, for a great sum, acquired this citizenship." And Paul said, "But I have been born a citizen." Straightway, therefore, those who were about to examine him departed from him; and the chief captain also was struck with fear, having ascertained that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him. And, on the morrow, wishing to know the certainty, wherefore he was accused by the Jews, he released him, and gave orders that the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin should assemble together; and, bringing Paul down, he set him among them.
