After these things Jesus continued to move about in Galilee, since He did not wish to move about in Judea because the Jews were wanting to kill Him.
Now the Jews' Feast of Tabernacles was near.
3 ⲅ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲅ︦ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲕⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲉⲕϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲕⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ
So His brothers said to Him: “Leave here and go up into Judea so your disciples also may see the works that you are doing,
4 ⲇ̅ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲣ ϩⲱⲃ ϩⲙ ⲡ︦ϩⲱⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲛⲥⲁ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲕⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛϩⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ
because no one does anything in secret while he actually wants to be in evidence. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world!”
For not even His brothers were believing into Him.
So Jesus says to them: “My time is not here yet, but your time is always available.
7 ⲍ̅ ⲙⲛ ϣϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲉⲥⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϥⲙⲟⲥⲧⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ϫⲉ ϯⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲥⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ
The world cannot hate you, but does hate me, because I testify about it that its works are malignant.
You guys go up to this feast; I am not going up yet to this feast, because my time has not yet fully come.”
So upon saying these things to them He stayed on in Galilee.
Now when His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He too went up, not openly but in secret like.
So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and saying, “Where is he?”
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲕⲣⲙⲣⲙ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ ϩⲛ ⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ ⲙⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ
And there was a lot of murmuring about Him among the crowds. Some were saying, “He is good”; others were saying, “On the contrary, he's deceiving the people.”
However, no one was talking openly about Him for fear of the Jews.
Now when the feast was already half over Jesus went up into the temple and started to teach.
And the Jews were marveling saying, “How is this man learned, not having been educated?”
So Jesus answered them and said: “What I teach is not mine, but His who sent me.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲟⲩⲁ ⲣ ϩⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ϥⲛⲁⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲉⲓⲥⲃⲱ ϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲉ ϫⲉⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁⲧ
If anyone wants to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God or whether I am speaking on my own.
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲉϥϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩϥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ ϫⲓ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
Someone who speaks on his own is seeking his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲙⲏ ⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϯ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁϩⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲙⲟⲩⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ
“Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not one of you keeps the Law! Why do you want to kill me?”
The crowd answered and said, “You must have a demon! Who wants to kill you?”
Jesus answered and said to them: “I did one work, and you all marvel.
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ϯ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲥⲃⲃⲉ ⲟⲩⲭ ⲟⲧⲓ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲃⲃⲉ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ
Consider this: Moses gave you circumcision (not that it comes from Moses, but from the patriarchs), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲉϣϫⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲉⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲓ ⲥⲃⲃⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲁϩⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟϭⲥ ⲉⲣⲟⲉⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲉⲓⲧⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ
If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the Law of Moses won't be broken, are you angry at me because I made a whole man well on the Sabbath?
Stop judging on the basis of appearances, but judge the righteous judgment.”
Now some of the Jerusalemites were saying: “Isn't this the man they are wanting to kill?
26 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲡⲉ ϥϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲉϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲙⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
Yet look! He is speaking openly and they are saying nothing to Him. Could it be true that the rulers know that this is really the Christ?
On the other hand, we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ comes nobody knows where He is from.”
28 ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ ⲓⲥ ϭⲉ ⲁϥϫⲓ ϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ⲉϥϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲱⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲉⲓ ⲁⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ
So Jesus called out in the temple, teaching and saying: “You do know me, and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own, but the One who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
I do know Him because I am from Him, and He sent me.”
So they tried to arrest Him, yet no one laid a hand on Him because His hour had not yet come.
31 ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁϩⲁϩ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉⲓ ⲙⲏ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲣ ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲙⲙⲁⲓⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲁⲩ
Now many of the crowd were believing into Him, and they were saying, “Whenever the Christ comes He won't perform more signs than these which this man has done, will He?”
32 ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲩⲕⲣⲙⲣⲙ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉϭⲟⲡϥ
The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about Him, so the Pharisees and the chief priests sent operatives to arrest Him.
Then Jesus said: “For a little while I am still with you, and then I go to the One who sent me.
You will look for me and not find me; also, where I am you cannot come.”
35 ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϭⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲧⲱⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲛⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲏ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲇⲓⲁⲥⲡⲟⲣⲁ ⲛⲛϩⲉⲗⲗⲏⲛ ⲛϥϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓⲉⲛⲓⲛ
So the Jews said among themselves: “Where does this fellow intend to go that we won't find him? He doesn't intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, does he?
36 ⲗ̅ⲋ̅ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲱⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲙϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉϯⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϣ ⲉⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
What word is this that he spoke, ‘You will look for me and not find me’; also, ‘where I am you cannot come’?”
37 ⲗ̅ⲍ̅ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡϩⲁⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡϣⲁ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲓⲥ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲃⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲉⲓ ⲛϥⲥⲱ
Now on the last and most important day of the Feast, Jesus stood up and called out saying: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
The one believing into me, just as the Scripture has said, out from his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.”
39 ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁϫⲓⲧϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲧⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲡⲛⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧϥϫⲓ ⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ
(Now He said this about the Spirit, whom those believing into Him were going to receive, in that the Holy Spirit had not yet been given because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)
So upon hearing this word many from the crowd began to say, “This One really is ‘the Prophet’!”
41 ⲙ̅ⲁ̅ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ
Others were saying, “This One is the Christ!” Others were saying: “Surely the Christ isn't coming out of Galilee, is He?
42 ⲙ̅ⲃ̅ ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲁⲛ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲛⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲃⲏⲑⲗⲉⲉⲙ ⲡϯⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
Doesn't the Scripture say that the Christ comes out of the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?”
So there developed a division in the crowd because of Him.
Further, some of them were wanting to arrest Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.
Then the operatives came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why haven't you brought him?”
The operatives answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
So the Pharisees answered them: “You haven't been fooled too, have you?
None of the rulers or the Pharisees have believed into him, have they?
But this crowd that doesn't know the law is accursed!”
Nicodemus (the one who came to Him at night, being one of them) says to them,
“Our law doesn't judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing, does it?”
52 ⲛ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲱⲱⲕ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ϩⲟⲧϩⲧ ⲛⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲛⲅⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ
They answered and said to him: “You aren't from Galilee too, are you? Search and see that no prophet has ever arisen out of Galilee.”
53 ⲛ̅ⲅ̅
So each one went to his own house.
