Jesus

Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, `Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during;

and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

Jesus answered them, `Did not I choose you--the twelve? and of you--one is a devil.

And he spake of Judas, Simon's son , Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.

And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him,

his brethren, therefore, said unto him, `Remove hence, and go away to Judea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works that thou dost;

for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things--manifest thyself to the world;'

for not even were his brethren believing in him.

Jesus, therefore, saith to them, `My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;

the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.

Ye--go ye up to this feast; I do not yet go up to this feast, because my time hath not yet been fulfilled;'

and saying these things to them, he remained in Galilee.

And when his brethren went up, then also he himself went up to the feast, not manifestly, but as in secret;

the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, `Where is that one?'

and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said--`He is good;' and others said, `No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;'

no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through fear of the Jews.

And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple, and he was teaching,

and the Jews were wondering, saying, `How hath this one known letters--not having learned?'

Jesus answered them and said, `My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me;

if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or--I do speak from myself.

`He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;

hath not Moses given you the law? and none of you doth the law; why me do ye seek to kill?'

The multitude answered and said, `Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?'

Jesus answered and said to them, `One work I did, and ye all wonder,

if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath?
