P. 43
there. A great many people came to him, who had with them the lame, blind,
dumb, maimed, and many others. They laid them down at the feet of Jesus, and
he healed them. The people were amazed and wondered, to see the dumb
speaking; the maimed healed; the lame walking; the blind seeing; they praised
the living God.
When they went out from there, they passed through Galilee; and he did not
want any man to know about him. He spoke to his apostles and followers, and
said the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him;
and after he is killed, he will rise on the third day. They were very much grieved.
After these things, Jesus travelled in Galilee; he did not wish to travel in Judea
because the Jews wanted to kill him. Now the Jewish feast of the tabernacles
was at hand.
You go up to this feast; I am not going just now to this feast, for my time is not yet
come. He said these things, and remained in Galilee. But when his brothers had
gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but as it were in secret.
The Jews were looking for him at the feast and saying, where is he?
Others were saying he is the Christ; but others said, Is it possible that Christ
should come from Galilee? Does not the scripture say that Christ will come
from the seed of David and from Bethlehem, the town of David? The people were
divided because of him.
I will be in Galilee before You
Then Jesus said to them, all of you will deny me this night; it is written, I will
smite the shepherd, and the sheep of his flock will be scattered. After I am
raised, I will be in Galilee before you.
Now there were some Gentiles among them who had come up to worship at the
feast. They came and approached Philip of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked
him, saying, my lord, we would like to see Jesus. Philip came and told Andrew;
then Andrew and Philip told Jesus. Jesus answered, saying to them, the hour
has come that the Son of man shall be glorified.
The Pharisees, Elders and High Priests had gathered. Nicodemus, one of them,
who had come to Jesus at night, said to them does our law convicts a man
unless it first hears from him and knows what he has done? They answered,
saying to him, what! Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no profit will
rise up from Galilee.
Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard; a maidservant came up to him and said
to him, you also were with Jesus the Galilean.
