耶穌的弟弟不信祂
1之後，耶穌周遊加利利，不願去猶太地區，因為猶太人想要殺祂。 2猶太人的住棚節快到了， 3耶穌的弟弟們對祂說：「離開這裡，去猶太過節吧，好讓你的門徒在那裡也看見你所做的啊！ 4因為人想出名，都不會暗地裡行事，你既然可以做這些事，就把自己顯給世人看吧！」 5原來連祂的弟弟們也不信祂。
6耶穌對他們說：「我的時候還沒有到，你們什麼時候都很方便。 7世人不會恨你們，只會恨我，因為我指證他們行為邪惡。 8你們先去過節吧，我現在還不上去，因為我的時候還沒有到。」 9耶穌說完這些話，仍留在加利利。
耶穌過住棚節
10他們走了以後，耶穌避開了人們的注意，暗地裡上去過節。 11節期到了，猶太人到處查問：「耶穌在哪裡？」
12眾人對祂議論紛紛，有些人說：「祂是好人，」有些說：「不，祂欺騙民眾。」 13不過，沒有人敢公開議論祂的事，因為害怕猶太人。
14節期約過了一半，耶穌來到聖殿教導人。 15猶太人感到驚奇，說：「這個人沒有受過教育，怎麼懂得這麼多呢？」
16耶穌說：「我的教導不是出於我自己，而是出於差我來的那位。 17如果你們願意遵行上帝的旨意，就能分辨這些教導是出於上帝，還是出於我自己。 18憑自己講論的人是要尋求自己的榮耀，但人子真實無偽，毫無不義，祂是為了使差祂來的那位得榮耀。 19摩西不是把律法傳給了你們嗎？你們卻沒有一個人遵守。為什麼想要殺我呢？」
20眾人回答說：「你一定是被鬼附身了！誰要殺你啊？」
21耶穌說：「我行了一件神蹟，你們都感到驚奇。 22摩西把割禮傳給你們，你們也在安息日行割禮。其實割禮不是摩西定的，而是從祖先們的時代就有了。 23為了避免違背摩西的律法，行割禮的那一天就算是安息日，你們還是照行。那麼，我在安息日使一個病人完全康復，你們為什麼責怪我呢？ 24不要根據外表來斷定是非，要按公義的原則判斷。」
耶穌是基督嗎
25有些住在耶路撒冷的人說：「這不是他們要殺的那個人嗎？ 26你看祂這樣公開講道，居然沒有人說什麼，難道官長也真的認為祂是基督嗎？ 27可是基督來的時候，根本沒有人知道祂從哪裡來，我們卻知道這個人是從哪裡來的。」
28於是，耶穌在聖殿裡高聲教導人說：「你們知道我是誰，也知道我是從哪裡來的。其實我來不是出於自己的意思，差我來的那位是真實的，你們不認識祂。 29但我認識祂，因為我是從祂那裡來的，差我來的就是祂。」 30他們聽了，想捉拿耶穌，只是沒有人下手，因為祂的時候還沒有到。
31人群中有許多人信了耶穌，他們說：「基督來的時候所行的神蹟，難道會比這個人行得更多嗎？」
32法利賽人聽見眾人這樣議論耶穌，就聯合祭司長派差役去抓祂。 33耶穌對眾人說：「我暫時還會跟你們在一起，不久我要回到差我來的那位那裡。 34那時你們要找我卻找不到，你們也不能去我所在的地方。」
35猶太人彼此議論說：「祂要去哪裡使我們找不著呢？難道祂要到我們猶太人僑居的希臘各地去教導希臘人嗎？ 36祂說我們找不到祂，又不能去祂所在的地方，是什麼意思？」
活水的江河
37節期最後一天，也是整個節期的高潮，耶穌站起來高聲說：「人若渴了，可以到我這裡來喝。 38正如聖經所言，信我的人，『從他裡面要流出活水的江河來』。」 39耶穌這話是指信祂的人要得到聖靈，但當時聖靈還沒有降臨，因為耶穌還沒有得到榮耀。
40聽見這些話後，有些人說：「祂真是那位先知。」 41也有些人說：「祂是基督。」還有些人說：「不會吧，基督怎麼會出自加利利呢？ 42聖經上不是說基督是大衛的後裔，要降生在大衛的故鄉伯利恆嗎？」 43眾人因為對耶穌的看法不同，就起了紛爭。 44有些人想抓祂，只是沒有人下手。
猶太官長不信耶穌
45祭司長和法利賽人看見差役空手回來，就問：「你們為什麼不把祂帶來呢？」
46差役答道：「從未有人像祂那樣說話！」
47法利賽人說：「難道你們也被祂迷惑了嗎？ 48哪有官長和法利賽人信祂呢？ 49這群不明白律法的民眾該受咒詛！」
50曾經夜訪耶穌、屬於他們當中一員的尼哥德慕說： 51「難道不聽被告申辯，不查明事實真相，我們的律法就定祂的罪嗎？」
52他們回答說：「難道你也是加利利人嗎？你去查查看，就會知道沒有先知是從加利利來的。」
1After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. 2Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand. 3His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judæa, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. 4For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. 5For neither did his brethren believe in him. 6Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. 7The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. 8Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come. 9When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
10¶ But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. 11Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? 12And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people. 13Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14¶ Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. 15And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? 16Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 17If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. 18He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. 19Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? 20The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee? 21Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. 22Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. 23If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? 24Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. 25Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? 26But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? 27Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. 28Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. 29But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me. 30Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. 31And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
32¶ The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. 33Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me. 34Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come. 35Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? 36What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come? 37In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40¶ Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. 41Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? 42Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? 43So there was a division among the people because of him. 44And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
45¶ Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? 46The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. 47Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? 48Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? 49But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. 50Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) 51Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? 52They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. 53And every man went unto his own house.
