1After these things, Yeshua [Salvation] was walking in Galilee [District, Circuit], for he would not walk in Judea [Praise], because the Jews [Praisers] sought to kill him.
2Now the festival of Sukkot ·Tabernacles·, the Festival of Booths, was at hand. (The seventh month Ethanim ·Ever-flowing durable stream (in Hebrew), 7· or Tishrei ·[Beginning (in Babylonian)]· 7815th day).
379His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here, and go into Judea [Praise], that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
4For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”
5For even his brothers didn’t trust in him.
6Yeshua [Salvation] therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
7The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
8You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
9Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee [District, Circuit].
10But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
11The Jews [Praisers] therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
12There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”
13Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews [Praisers].
14But when it was now the middle of the feast, Yeshua [Salvation] went up into the temple and taught.
1580The Jews [Praisers] therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know so much, without having studied?”
16Yeshua [Salvation] therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
17If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.
18He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no sinfulness ·legal injustice that misses the mark and is without share in the goal· is in him.
19Didn’t Moses [Drawn out] give you the Torah ·Teaching·? Yet none of you keeps Torah ·Teaching·! Why do you seek to kill me?”
20The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
21Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.
22Moses [Drawn out] has given you circumcision 81(not that it is of Moses [Drawn out], but of the Patriarchs), and on the Sabbath ·To cease· you circumcise a boy.
23If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath ·To cease·, that the Torah ·Teaching· of Moses [Drawn out] may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath ·To cease·?
24Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge upright judgment.”
25Therefore some of them of Jerusalem [City of peace] said, “Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
26Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Messiah [Anointed one]?
27However we know where this man comes from, but when the Messiah [Anointed one] comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
28Yeshua [Salvation] therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.
29I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
30They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31But of the multitude, many trusted in him. They said, “When the Messiah [Anointed one] comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”
32The Pharisees [Separated] heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees [Separated] sent officers to arrest him.
33Then Yeshua [Salvation] said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
34You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come.”
35The Jews [Praisers] therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
36What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come’?”
378283Now on the last day of the festival 84(of Tabernacles, the seventh day called Hoshana Rabbah ·Save now Great·, the seventh month Ethanim ·Ever-flowing durable stream (in Hebrew), 7· or Tishrei ·[Beginning (in Babylonian)]· 21st day)), Yeshua [Salvation] stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, 85let him come to me and drink!
3886Whoever puts his trust in me, as the Scripture says, rivers of living water 87will flow from his inmost being!”
39But he said this about the Ruach ·Spirit, Breath·, which those trusting in him were to receive. For the Holy Ruach ·Spirit, Breath· 88was not yet given, because Yeshua [Salvation] was not yet glorified.
4089Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.” 90
41Others said, “This is the Messiah [Anointed one].” But some said, “What, does the Messiah [Anointed one] come out of Galilee [District, Circuit]?
4291Has not the Scripture said that the Messiah [Anointed one] comes of the offspring of David [Beloved], 92and from Bethlehem [House of Bread], 93the village where David [Beloved] lived?” 94
43So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.
44Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
45The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees [Separated], and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
4695The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
47The Pharisees [Separated] therefore answered them, “You are not also led astray, are you?
48Have any of the rulers trusted in him, or of the Pharisees [Separated]?
49True, these 'am-ha'aretz ·people of the land· do, but they know nothing about the Torah ·Teaching·, they are under a curse!”
50Nicodemus [Victory people] (he who came to him by night, being one of the Pharisees [Separated]) said to them,
51“Our Torah ·Teaching· does not condemn a man, does it, until after hearing from him personally and finding out what he’s doing?”
52They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee [District, Circuit]? Search, and see that 96no prophet has arisen out of Galilee [District, Circuit].”
53Everyone went to his own house.
