1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to slay him.

3 And the brothers of Jesus said to him: Leave here, and go into Judaea; that thy disciples may see the works thou doest.

10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but as it were secretly.

12 And there was much altercation among the people respecting him; for some said, He is a good man; while others said, No, but he deceiveth the people.

18 He that speaketh according to the pleasure of his own mind, seeketh glory for himself: but he who seeketh the glory of him that sent him, is veracious, and evil is not in his heart.

22 Because Moses gave you circumcision, (not that it was from Moses, but it was from the fathers, ) ye circumcise a child on the sabbath.
