And now the festival being in the midst, Jesus went up to the temple, and taught. And the Jews wondered, saying, How knows he letters, not having learned Jesus answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his having sent me. read more.
If any desire to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak from myself. He speaking from himself, seeks his own glory: but he seeking the glory of him having sent him, he is true, and no injustice is in him. Has not Moses given you the law, and none of you does the law? Why seek ye to kill me? The crowd answered and said, Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee? Jesus answered and said to them, I did one work, and ye all marvel for this. Moses has given you circumcision; (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and in the sabbath ye circumcise a man. If a man receive circumcision in the sabbath, that the law of Moses be not loosed; rage not at me, because I made a man wholly well on the Sabbath. Judge not according to sight, but judge just judgment. Then said some of the Jerusalemites' Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? And, behold, he speaks in freedom of speech, and they say nothing to him. Not at any time knew the rulers truly, that this is truly Christ? But we know this whence he is: and Christ, when he should come, none knows whence he is. Then cried Jesus in the temple, teaching, and saying, And ye know me, and ye know whence I am: and I have not come of myself, but he having sent me is true, whom ye know not. But I know him; for I am from him, and he sent me. Then sought they to seize him: and none put the hand upon him, for his hour had not yet come. And many of the crowd believed on him, and said, That Christ, when he should come, will he do more signs than these which he did? The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things of him; and the Pharisees and chief priests sent servants that they might seize him. Then said Jesus to them, Yet a little time am I with you, and I retire to him having sent me. And ye shall seek me and shall not find: and where I am, ye cannot come. Then said the Jews among themselves, Where is he about to go, that we shall not find him? is he not about to go to the dispersion of the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? What is the word which he spake, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find: and where I am, ye cannot come? In the last day, the great one of the festival, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any thirst, let him come to me, and drink. He believing in me, as said the writing, from his belly shall flow rivers of living waters. (This spake he of the Spirit which they believing in him were about to receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet; for Jesus was not yet honoured.) Then many of the crowd, having heard the word, said, This is truly a prophet. Others said, This is Christ: and others said, Yet Christ comes not out of Galilee. Said not the writing, That of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was, Christ comes? Then was there a division in the crowd on his account. And some of them wished to seize him; but none put hands upon him. Then came the servants to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, Why did ye not bring him And the servants answered, Never spake man as this man. Then the Pharisees answered them, Have ye not also been deceived Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him? But the crowd, not knowing the law, are cursed. Nicodemus says to them, (he having come to him by night, being one of them,) Our law judges not a man, except it first hear from him, and know what he does. They answered and said to him, And art thou not of Galilee? Search, and see: for a prophet has not risen out of Galilee. And each man went to his house.

And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus the name to him, a ruler of the Jews: He came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou hast come a teacher from God: for none can do these signs which thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to thee, Except any one be born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God. read more.
Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be born, being an old man? he cannot come in a second time to his mother's belly, and be born. Jesus says to him, Truly, truly, I say to thee, Except any one be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot come into the kingdom of God. That born of flesh is flesh; and that born of the Spirit is spirit. Thou shouldest not wonder that I said to thee, Ye must be born from above. The wind, where it wills, blows, and its voice thou hearest, but thou knowest not whence it comes, and where it goes: so is every one having been born of the Spirit. Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these?

Nicodemus says to them, (he having come to him by night, being one of them,) Our law judges not a man, except it first hear from him, and know what he does. They answered and said to him, And art thou not of Galilee? Search, and see: for a prophet has not risen out of Galilee. read more.
