1After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because the Jews there were trying to kill Him.

2However, the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.

3So Jesus’ brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples there may see the works You are doing.

5ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉϥⲕⲉ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
5For even His own brothers did not believe in Him.

6Therefore Jesus told them, “Although your time is always at hand, My time has not yet come.

7The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify that its works are evil.

8Go up to the feast on your own. I am not going up to this feast, because My time has not yet come.”
9ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ ϯ ⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲉ⳿ⲁ.
9Having said this, Jesus remained in Galilee.

10But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, He also went—not publicly, but in secret.

11So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?”

12Many in the crowds were whispering about Him. Some said, “He is a good man.” But others replied, “No, He deceives the people.”
13⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲙⲉⲛⲧⲟⲓ ⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⳿ⲧϩⲟϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ.
13Yet no one would speak publicly about Him for fear of the Jews.

14About halfway through the feast, Jesus went up to the temple courts and began to teach.

15The Jews were amazed and asked, “How did this man attain such learning without having studied?”

16“My teaching is not My own,” Jesus replied. “It comes from Him who sent Me.

18He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is a man of truth; in Him there is no falsehood.

20“You have a demon,” the crowd replied. “Who is trying to kill You?”

21Jesus answered them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed.

22But because Moses gave you circumcision, you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath (not that it is from Moses, but from the patriarchs.)

23If a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you angry with Me for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?

25Then some of the people of Jerusalem began to say, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?

26Yet here He is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying anything to Him. Have the rulers truly recognized that this is the Christ?

28Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “You know Me, and you know where I am from. I have not come of My own accord, but He who sent Me is true. You do not know Him,

30So they tried to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

31Many in the crowd, however, believed in Him and said, “When the Christ comes, will He perform more signs than this man?”

32When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about Jesus, they and the chief priests sent officers to arrest Him.

33So Jesus said, “I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to the One who sent Me.

35At this, the Jews said to one another, “Where does He intend to go that we will not find Him? Will He go where the Jews are dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

36What does He mean by saying, ‘You will look for Me, but you will not find Me,’ and, ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”

37On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and called out in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.

39He was speaking about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

40On hearing these words, some of the people said, “This is truly the Prophet.”
