5:10 (suggested meaning)
Since Aaron's rod that budded is not present in the ark(budding meaning resurrection), it typifies that in the Kingdom age, resurrection will have already taken place.
The absence of the manna is representative of the removal of the reproach of Egypt(see Josh 5:9)
Israel ate the manna until they reached their "kingdom", symbolic of "the bread of life" we partake of now.

1. Thus all the work <4399> that Solomon <8010> made <6213>(8804) for the house <1004> of the LORD <3068> was finished <7999>(8799): and Solomon <8010> brought <935>(8686) in all the things <6944> <0> that David <1732> his father <1> had dedicated <6944>; and the silver <3701>, and the gold <2091>, and all the instruments <3627>, put <5414>(8804) he among the treasures <214> of the house <1004> of God <430>.
2. Then Solomon <8010> assembled <6950>(8686) the elders <2205> of Israel <3478>, and all the heads <7218> of the tribes <4294>, the chief <5387> of the fathers <1> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, unto Jerusalem <3389>, to bring up <5927>(8687) the ark <727> of the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068> out of the city <5892> of David <1732>, which is Zion <6726>.
3. Wherefore all the men <376> of Israel <3478> assembled <6950>(8735) themselves unto the king <4428> in the feast <2282> which was in the seventh <7637> month <2320>.
4. And all the elders <2205> of Israel <3478> came <935>(8799); and the Levites <3881> took up <5375>(8799) the ark <727>.
5. And they brought up <5927>(8686) the ark <727>, and the tabernacle <168> of the congregation <4150>, and all the holy <6944> vessels <3627> that were in the tabernacle <168>, these did the priests <3548> and the Levites <3881> bring up <5927>(8689).
6. Also king <4428> Solomon <8010>, and all the congregation <5712> of Israel <3478> that were assembled <3259>(8737) unto him before <6440> the ark <727>, sacrificed <2076>(8764) sheep <6629> and oxen <1241>, which could not be told <5608>(8735) nor numbered <4487>(8735) for multitude <7230>.
7. And the priests <3548> brought in <935>(8686) the ark <727> of the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068> unto his place <4725>, to the oracle <1687> of the house <1004>, into the most <6944> holy <6944> place, even under the wings <3671> of the cherubims <3742>:
8. For the cherubims <3742> spread forth <6566>(8802) their wings <3671> over the place <4725> of the ark <727>, and the cherubims <3742> covered <3680>(8762) the ark <727> and the staves <905> thereof above <4605>.
9. And they drew out <748>(8686) the staves <905> of the ark, that the ends <7218> of the staves <905> were seen <7200>(8735) from the ark <727> before <6440> the oracle <1687>; but they were not seen <7200>(8735) without <2351>. And there it is unto this day <3117>.
10. There was nothing in the ark <727> save the two <8147> tables <3871> which Moses <4872> put <5414>(8804) therein at Horeb <2722>, when the LORD <3068> made <3772>(8804) a covenant with the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, when they came out <3318>(8800) of Egypt <4714>.
11. And it came to pass, when the priests <3548> were come out <3318>(8800) of the holy <6944> place: (for all the priests <3548> that were present <4672>(8737) were sanctified <6942>(8694), and did not then wait <8104>(8800) by course <4256>:
12. Also the Levites <3881> which were the singers <7891>(8789), all of them of Asaph <623>, of Heman <1968>, of Jeduthun <3038>, with their sons <1121> and their brethren <251>, being arrayed <3847>(8794) in white linen <948>, having cymbals <4700> and psalteries <5035> and harps <3658>, stood <5975>(8802) at the east end <4217> of the altar <4196>, and with them an hundred <3967> and twenty <6242> priests <3548> sounding <2690>(8688) with trumpets <2689>:)
13. It came even to pass, as the trumpeters <2690>(8764)(8675) <2690>(8764) and singers <7891>(8789) were as one <259>, to make one <259> sound <6963> to be heard <8085>(8687) in praising <1984>(8763) and thanking <3034>(8687) the LORD <3068>; and when they lifted up <7311>(8687) their voice <6963> with the trumpets <2689> and cymbals <4700> and instruments <3627> of musick <7892>, and praised <1984>(8763) the LORD <3068>, saying, For he is good <2896>; for his mercy <2617> endureth for ever <5769>: that then the house <1004> was filled <4390>(8804) with a cloud <6051>, even the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>;
14. So that the priests <3548> could <3201>(8804) not stand <5975>(8800) to minister <8334>(8763) by reason <6440> of the cloud <6051>: for the glory <3519> of the LORD <3068> had filled <4390>(8804) the house <1004> of God <430>.
1. Then said <559>(8804) Solomon <8010>, The LORD <3068> hath said <559>(8804) that he would dwell <7931>(8800) in the thick darkness <6205>.
2. But I have built <1129>(8804) an house <1004> of habitation <2073> for thee, and a place <4349> for thy dwelling <3427>(8800) for ever <5769>.
3. And the king <4428> turned <5437>(8686) his face <6440>, and blessed <1288>(8762) the whole congregation <6951> of Israel <3478>: and all the congregation <6951> of Israel <3478> stood <5975>(8802).
4. And he said <559>(8799), Blessed <1288>(8803) be the LORD <3068> God <430> of Israel <3478>, who hath with his hands <3027> fulfilled <4390>(8765) that which he spake <1696>(8765) with his mouth <6310> to my father <1> David <1732>, saying <559>(8800),
5. Since the day <3117> that I brought forth <3318>(8689) my people <5971> out of the land <776> of Egypt <4714> I chose <977>(8804) no city <5892> among all the tribes <7626> of Israel <3478> to build <1129>(8800) an house <1004> in, that my name <8034> might be there; neither chose <977>(8804) I any man <376> to be a ruler <5057> over my people <5971> Israel <3478>:
6. But I have chosen <977>(8799) Jerusalem <3389>, that my name <8034> might be there; and have chosen <977>(8799) David <1732> to be over my people <5971> Israel <3478>.
7. Now it was in the heart <3824> of David <1732> my father <1> to build <1129>(8800) an house <1004> for the name <8034> of the LORD <3068> God <430> of Israel <3478>.
8. But the LORD <3068> said <559>(8799) to David <1732> my father <1>, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart <3824> to build <1129>(8800) an house <1004> for my name <8034>, thou didst well <2895>(8689) in that it was in thine heart <3824>:
9. Notwithstanding <7535> thou shalt not build <1129>(8799) the house <1004>; but thy son <1121> which shall come forth <3318>(8802) out of thy loins <2504>, he shall build <1129>(8799) the house <1004> for my name <8034>.
10. The LORD <3068> therefore hath performed <6965>(8686) his word <1697> that he hath spoken <1696>(8765): for I am risen up <6965>(8799) in the room of David <1732> my father <1>, and am set <3427>(8799) on the throne <3678> of Israel <3478>, as the LORD <3068> promised <1696>(8765), and have built <1129>(8799) the house <1004> for the name <8034> of the LORD <3068> God <430> of Israel <3478>.
11. And in it <8033> have I put <7760>(8799) the ark <727>, wherein is the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068>, that he made <3772>(8804) with the children <1121> of Israel <3478>.
12. And he stood <5975>(8799) before <6440> the altar <4196> of the LORD <3068> in the presence of all the congregation <6951> of Israel <3478>, and spread forth <6566>(8799) his hands <3709>:
13. For Solomon <8010> had made <6213>(8804) a brasen <5178> scaffold <3595>, of five <2568> cubits <520> long <753>, and five <2568> cubits <520> broad <7341>, and three <7969> cubits <520> high <6967>, and had set <5414>(8799) it in the midst <8432> of the court <5835>: and upon it he stood <5975>(8799), and kneeled down <1288>(8799) upon his knees <1290> before all the congregation <6951> of Israel <3478>, and spread forth <6566>(8799) his hands <3709> toward heaven <8064>,
14. And said <559>(8799), O LORD <3068> God <430> of Israel <3478>, there is no God <430> like thee in the heaven <8064>, nor in the earth <776>; which keepest <8104>(8802) covenant <1285>, and shewest mercy <2617> unto thy servants <5650>, that walk <1980>(8802) before <6440> thee with all their hearts <3820>:
15. Thou which hast kept <8104>(8804) with thy servant <5650> David <1732> my father <1> that which thou hast promised <1696>(8765) him; and spakest <1696>(8762) with thy mouth <6310>, and hast fulfilled <4390>(8765) it with thine hand <3027>, as it is this day <3117>.
16. Now therefore, O LORD <3068> God <430> of Israel <3478>, keep <8104>(8798) with thy servant <5650> David <1732> my father <1> that which thou hast promised <1696>(8765) him, saying <559>(8800), There shall not fail <3772>(8735) thee a man <376> in my sight <6440> to sit <3427>(8802) upon the throne <3678> of Israel <3478>; yet so <7535> that thy children <1121> take heed <8104>(8799) to their way <1870> to walk <3212>(8800) in my law <8451>, as thou hast walked <1980>(8804) before <6440> me.
17. Now then, O LORD <3068> God <430> of Israel <3478>, let thy word <1697> be verified <539>(8735), which thou hast spoken <1696>(8765) unto thy servant <5650> David <1732>.
18. But will God <430> in very deed <552> dwell <3427>(8799) with men <120> on the earth <776>? behold, heaven <8064> and the heaven <8064> of heavens <8064> cannot contain <3557>(8770) thee; how much less this house <1004> which I have built <1129>(8804)!
19. Have respect <6437>(8804) therefore to the prayer <8605> of thy servant <5650>, and to his supplication <8467>, O LORD <3068> my God <430>, to hearken <8085>(8800) unto the cry <7440> and the prayer <8605> which thy servant <5650> prayeth <6419>(8693) before <6440> thee:
20. That thine eyes <5869> may be open <6605>(8803) upon this house <1004> day <3119> and night <3915>, upon the place <4725> whereof thou hast said <559>(8804) that thou wouldest put <7760>(8800) thy name <8034> there; to hearken <8085>(8800) unto the prayer <8605> which thy servant <5650> prayeth <6419>(8691) toward this place <4725>.
21. Hearken <8085>(8804) therefore unto the supplications <8469> of thy servant <5650>, and of thy people <5971> Israel <3478>, which they shall make <6419>(8691) toward this place <4725>: hear <8085>(8799) thou from thy dwelling <3427>(8800) place <4725>, even from heaven <8064>; and when thou hearest <8085>(8804), forgive <5545>(8804).
22. If a man <376> sin <2398>(8799) against his neighbour <7453>, and an oath <423> be laid <5375>(8804) upon him to make him swear <422>(8687), and the oath <423> come <935>(8804) before <6440> thine altar <4196> in this house <1004>;
23. Then hear <8085>(8799) thou from heaven <8064>, and do <6213>(8804), and judge <8199>(8804) thy servants <5650>, by requiting <7725>(8687) the wicked <7563>, by recompensing <5414>(8800) his way <1870> upon his own head <7218>; and by justifying <6663>(8687) the righteous <6662>, by giving <5414>(8800) him according to his righteousness <6666>.
24. And if thy people <5971> Israel <3478> be put to the worse <5062>(8735) before <6440> the enemy <341>(8802), because they have sinned <2398>(8799) against thee; and shall return <7725>(8804) and confess <3034>(8689) thy name <8034>, and pray <6419>(8694) and make supplication <2603>(8694) before <6440> thee in this house <1004>;
25. Then hear <8085>(8799) thou from the heavens <8064>, and forgive <5545>(8804) the sin <2403> of thy people <5971> Israel <3478>, and bring them again <7725>(8689) unto the land <127> which thou gavest <5414>(8804) to them and to their fathers <1>.
26. When the heaven <8064> is shut up <6113>(8736), and there is no rain <4306>, because they have sinned <2398>(8799) against thee; yet if they pray <6419>(8694) toward this place <4725>, and confess <3034>(8689) thy name <8034>, and turn <7725>(8799) from their sin <2403>, when thou dost afflict <6031>(8686) them;
27. Then hear <8085>(8799) thou from heaven <8064>, and forgive <5545>(8804) the sin <2403> of thy servants <5650>, and of thy people <5971> Israel <3478>, when thou hast taught <3384>(8686) them the good <2896> way <1870>, wherein they should walk <3212>(8799); and send <5414>(8804) rain <4306> upon thy land <776>, which thou hast given <5414>(8804) unto thy people <5971> for an inheritance <5159>.
28. If there be dearth <7458> in the land <776>, if there be pestilence <1698>, if there be blasting <7711>, or mildew <3420>, locusts <697>, or caterpillers <2625>; if their enemies <341>(8802) besiege <6887>(8686) them in the cities <8179> of their land <776>; whatsoever sore <5061> or whatsoever sickness <4245> there be:
29. Then what prayer <8605> or what supplication <8467> soever shall be made of any man <120>, or of all thy people <5971> Israel <3478>, when every one <376> shall know <3045>(8799) his own sore <5061> and his own grief <4341>, and shall spread forth <6566>(8804) his hands <3709> in this house <1004>:
30. Then hear <8085>(8799) thou from heaven <8064> thy dwelling <3427>(8800) place <4349>, and forgive <5545>(8804), and render <5414>(8804) unto every man <376> according unto all his ways <1870>, whose heart <3824> thou knowest <3045>(8799); (for thou only knowest <3045>(8804) the hearts <3824> of the children <1121> of men <120>:)
31. That they may fear <3372>(8799) thee, to walk <3212>(8800) in thy ways <1870>, so long as <3117> they live <2416> <6440> in the land <127> which thou gavest <5414>(8804) unto our fathers <1>.
32. Moreover concerning the stranger <5237>, which is not of thy people <5971> Israel <3478>, but is come <935>(8804) from a far <7350> country <776> for thy great <1419> name's <8034> sake, and thy mighty <2389> hand <3027>, and thy stretched out <5186>(8803) arm <2220>; if they come <935>(8804) and pray <6419>(8694) in this house <1004>;
33. Then hear <8085>(8799) thou from the heavens <8064>, even from thy dwelling <3427>(8800) place <4349>, and do <6213>(8804) according to all that the stranger <5237> calleth <7121>(8799) to thee for; that all people <5971> of the earth <776> may know <3045>(8799) thy name <8034>, and fear <3372>(8800) thee, as doth thy people <5971> Israel <3478>, and may know <3045>(8800) that this house <1004> which I have built <1129>(8804) is called <7121>(8738) by thy name <8034>.
34. If thy people <5971> go out <3318>(8799) to war <4421> against their enemies <341>(8802) by the way <1870> that thou shalt send <7971>(8799) them, and they pray <6419>(8694) unto thee toward <1870> this city <5892> which thou hast chosen <977>(8804), and the house <1004> which I have built <1129>(8804) for thy name <8034>;
35. Then hear <8085>(8804) thou from the heavens <8064> their prayer <8605> and their supplication <8467>, and maintain <6213>(8804) their cause <4941>.
36. If they sin <2398>(8799) against thee, (for there is no man <120> which sinneth <2398>(8799) not,) and thou be angry <599>(8804) with them, and deliver <5414>(8804) them over before <6440> their enemies <341>(8802), and they carry them away <7617>(8804) captives <7617>(8802) unto a land <776> far off <7350> or near <7138>;
37. Yet if they bethink <7725>(8689) <3824> themselves in the land <776> whither they are carried captive <7617>(8738), and turn <7725>(8804) and pray <2603>(8694) unto thee in the land <776> of their captivity <7628>, saying <559>(8800), We have sinned <2398>(8804), we have done amiss <5753>(8689), and have dealt wickedly <7561>(8804);
38. If they return <7725>(8804) to thee with all their heart <3820> and with all their soul <5315> in the land <776> of their captivity <7628>, whither they have carried them captives <7617>(8804), and pray <6419>(8694) toward <1870> their land <776>, which thou gavest <5414>(8804) unto their fathers <1>, and toward the city <5892> which thou hast chosen <977>(8804), and toward the house <1004> which I have built <1129>(8804) for thy name <8034>:
39. Then hear <8085>(8804) thou from the heavens <8064>, even from thy dwelling <3427>(8800) place <4349>, their prayer <8605> and their supplications <8467>, and maintain <6213>(8804) their cause <4941>, and forgive <5545>(8804) thy people <5971> which have sinned <2398>(8804) against thee.
40. Now, my God <430>, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes <5869> be open <6605>(8803), and let thine ears <241> be attent <7183> unto the prayer <8605> that is made in this place <4725>.
41. Now therefore arise <6965>(8798), O LORD <3068> God <430>, into thy resting <5118> place, thou, and the ark <727> of thy strength <5797>: let thy priests <3548>, O LORD <3068> God <430>, be clothed <3847>(8799) with salvation <8668>, and let thy saints <2623> rejoice <8055>(8799) in goodness <2896>.
42. O LORD <3068> God <430>, turn not away <7725>(8686) the face <6440> of thine anointed <4899>: remember <2142>(8798) the mercies <2617> of David <1732> thy servant <5650>.
Notes that are not verse specific
We are told so much detail about the measurements of this temple that they must be of more significance than just to help us to reconstruct or visualise it. Those who have done a great deal of study into the significance of different numbers in scripture could, I am sure, enlighten us on this subject.
Peter [UK] Comment added in 2001 Reply to Peter
Despite all the details of the temple that Ezekiel saw it is not possible to either draw an exact drawing or make an exact model of the temple. There are vital details and measurements missing. The same is true of both the tabernacle and Solomon's temple. From this we conclude that the details are not given for us to construct models - though there is benefit in making models to help us to understand the general size and shape of these structures. The lesson is that the language of the description should be carefully reviewed to enable us to draw valid Scriptural lessons from the description.
Peter Forbes [Mountsorrel (UK)] Comment added in 2002 Reply to Peter
Why did God give this very detailed vision of the temple to Ezekiel? The suggestion which makes sense to me is that this temple will be built in Jerusalem for the millennium reign of Christ, and will be used for the world to come and worship King Jesus. It’s interesting to note the series of plans God has brought into the world for worship: a) Adam to Abraham – God was with the righteous; b) Abraham to Moses – God called the Jews, and was the centre of their lives; c) Moses to Jesus – the Law of Moses was operative, so the tabernacle and then the temple were the places where God met with His people; d) the age of Christianity, where God dwells in His people (see 1Cor 3:16,17); e) the millennial reign of Christ on earth, probably with Ezekiel’s temple being the centre of world government; and f) after the 1000 years, when God is all in all.

1. Afterward he brought <935>(8686) me to the temple <1964>, and measured <4058>(8799) the posts <352>, six <8337> cubits <520> broad <7341> on the one side <6311>, and six <8337> cubits <520> broad <7341> on the other side <6311>, which was the breadth <7341> of the tabernacle <168>.
2. And the breadth <7341> of the door <6607> was ten <6235> cubits <520>; and the sides <3802> of the door <6607> were five <2568> cubits <520> on the one side, and five <2568> cubits <520> on the other side: and he measured <4058>(8799) the length <753> thereof, forty <705> cubits <520>: and the breadth <7341>, twenty <6242> cubits <520>.
3. Then went <935>(8804) he inward <6441>, and measured <4058>(8799) the post <352> of the door <6607>, two <8147> cubits <520>; and the door <6607>, six <8337> cubits <520>; and the breadth <7341> of the door <6607>, seven <7651> cubits <520>.
4. So he measured <4058>(8799) the length <753> thereof, twenty <6242> cubits <520>; and the breadth <7341>, twenty <6242> cubits <520>, before <6440> the temple <1964>: and he said <559>(8799) unto me, This is the most <6944> holy <6944> place.
5. After he measured <4058>(8799) the wall <7023> of the house <1004>, six <8337> cubits <520>; and the breadth <7341> of every side chamber <6763>, four <702> cubits <520>, round about <5439> the house <1004> on every side <5439>.
6. And the side <6763> chambers <6763> were three <7969>, one over another <6763>, and thirty <7970> in order <6471>; and they entered <935>(8802) into the wall <7023> which was of the house <1004> for the side chambers <6763> round about <5439>, that they might have hold <270>(8803), but they had not hold <270>(8803) in the wall <7023> of the house <1004>.
7. And there was an enlarging <7337>(8804), and a winding about <5437>(8738) still upward <4605> to the side chambers <6763>: for the winding about <4141> of the house <1004> went still upward <4605> round about <5439> the house <1004>: therefore the breadth <7341> of the house <1004> was still upward <4605>, and so increased <5927>(8799) from the lowest <8481> chamber to the highest <5945> by the midst <8484>.
8. I saw <7200>(8804) also the height <1363> of the house <1004> round about <5439>: the foundations <4328> of the side chambers <6763> were a full <4393> reed <7070> of six <8337> great <679> cubits <520>.
9. The thickness <7341> of the wall <7023>, which was for the side chamber <6763> without <2351>, was five <2568> cubits <520>: and that which was left <3240>(8716) was the place <1004> of the side chambers <6763> that were within <1004>.
10. And between the chambers <3957> was the wideness <7341> of twenty <6242> cubits <520> round about <5439> the house <1004> on every side <5439>.
11. And the doors <6607> of the side chambers <6763> were toward the place that was left <3240>(8716), one <259> door <6607> toward <1870> the north <6828>, and another <259> door <6607> toward the south <1864>: and the breadth <7341> of the place <4725> that was left <3240>(8716) was five <2568> cubits <520> round about <5439>.
12. Now the building <1146> that was before <6440> the separate place <1508> at the end <6285> toward <1870> the west <3220> was seventy <7657> cubits <520> broad <7341>; and the wall <7023> of the building <1146> was five <2568> cubits <520> thick <7341> round about <5439>, and the length <753> thereof ninety <8673> cubits <520>.
13. So he measured <4058>(8804) the house <1004>, an hundred <3967> cubits <520> long <753>; and the separate place <1508>, and the building <1140>, with the walls <7023> thereof, an hundred <3967> cubits <520> long <753>;
14. Also the breadth <7341> of the face <6440> of the house <1004>, and of the separate place <1508> toward the east <6921>, an hundred <3967> cubits <520>.
15. And he measured <4058>(8804) the length <753> of the building <1146> over against <6440> the separate place <1508> which was behind <310> it, and the galleries <862> thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred <3967> cubits <520>, with the inner <6442> temple <1964>, and the porches <197> of the court <2691>;
16. The door posts <5592>, and the narrow <331>(8801) windows <2474>, and the galleries <862> round about <5439> on their three stories <7969>, over against <5048> the door <5592>, cieled <7824> with wood <6086> round about <5439>, and from the ground <776> up to the windows <2474>, and the windows <2474> were covered <3680>(8794);
17. To that above the door <6607>, even unto the inner <6442> house <1004>, and without <2351>, and by all the wall <7023> round about <5439> within <6442> and without <2435>, by measure <4060>.
18. And it was made <6213>(8803) with cherubims <3742> and palm trees <8561>, so that a palm tree <8561> was between a cherub <3742> and a cherub <3742>; and every cherub <3742> had two <8147> faces <6440>;
19. So that the face <6440> of a man <120> was toward the palm tree <8561> on the one side, and the face <6440> of a young lion <3715> toward the palm tree <8561> on the other side: it was made <6213>(8803) through all the house <1004> round about <5439>.
20. From the ground <776> unto above the door <6607> were cherubims <3742> and palm trees <8561> made <6213>(8803), and on the wall <7023> of the temple <1964>.
21. The posts <4201> of the temple <1964> were squared <7251>(8803), and the face <6440> of the sanctuary <6944>; the appearance <4758> of the one as the appearance <4758> of the other.
22. The altar <4196> of wood <6086> was three <7969> cubits <520> high <1364>, and the length <753> thereof two <8147> cubits <520>; and the corners <4740> thereof, and the length <753> thereof, and the walls <7023> thereof, were of wood <6086>: and he said <1696>(8762) unto me, This is the table <7979> that is before <6440> the LORD <3068>.
23. And the temple <1964> and the sanctuary <6944> had two <8147> doors <1817>.
24. And the doors <1817> had two <8147> leaves <1817> apiece, two <8147> turning <4142>(8716) leaves <1817>; two <8147> leaves for the one <259> door <1817>, and two <8147> leaves <1817> for the other <312> door.
25. And there were made <6213>(8803) on them, on the doors <1817> of the temple <1964>, cherubims <3742> and palm trees <8561>, like as were made <6213>(8803) upon the walls <7023>; and there were thick <5646> planks <6086> upon the face <6440> of the porch <197> without <2351>.
26. And there were narrow <331>(8801) windows <2474> and palm trees <8561> on the one side and on the other side, on the sides <3802> of the porch <197>, and upon the side chambers <6763> of the house <1004>, and thick planks <5646>.

1. <2532> After <3326> these things <5023> Jesus <2424> walked <4043>(5707) in <1722> Galilee <1056>: for <1063> he would <2309>(5707) not <3756> walk <4043>(5721) in <1722> Jewry <2449>, because <3754> the Jews <2453> sought <2212>(5707) to kill <615>(5658) him <846>.
2. Now <1161> the Jews <2453>' feast <1859> of tabernacles <4634> was <2258>(5713) at hand <1451>.
3. His <846> brethren <80> therefore <3767> said <2036>(5627) unto <4314> him <846>, Depart <3327>(5628) hence <1782>, and <2532> go <5217>(5720) into <1519> Judaea <2449>, that <2443> thy <4675> disciples <3101> also <2532> may see <2334>(5661) the works <2041> that <3739> thou <4675> doest <4160>(5719).
4. For <1063> there is no man <3762> that doeth <4160>(5719) any thing <5100> in <1722> secret <2927>, and <2532> he himself <846> seeketh <2212>(5719) to be <1511>(5750) known openly <1722> <3954>. If <1487> thou do <4160>(5719) these things <5023>, shew <5319>(5657) thyself <4572> to the world <2889>.
5. For <1063> neither <3761> did <4100> <0> his <846> brethren <80> believe <4100>(5707) in <1519> him <846>.
6. Then <3767> Jesus <2424> said <3004>(5719) unto them <846>, My <1699> time <2540> is <3918> <0> not yet <3768> come <3918>(5748): but <1161> your <5212> time <2540> is <2076>(5748) alway <3842> ready <2092>.
7. The world <2889> cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) hate <3404>(5721) you <5209>; but <1161> me <1691> it hateth <3404>(5719), because <3754> I <1473> testify <3140>(5719) of <4012> it <846>, that <3754> the works <2041> thereof <846> are <2076>(5748) evil <4190>.
8. Go <305> <0> ye <5210> up <305>(5628) unto <1519> this <5026> feast <1859>: I <1473> go <305> <0> not <3768> <0> up <305>(5719) yet <3768> unto <1519> this <5026> feast <1859>; for <3754> my <1699> time <2540> is <4137> <0> not yet <3768> full come <4137>(5769).
9. When <1161> he had said <2036>(5631) these words <5023> unto them <846>, he abode <3306>(5656) still in <1722> Galilee <1056>.
10. But <1161> when <5613> his <846> brethren <80> were gone up <305>(5627), then <5119> went he <305> <0> also <2532> up <305>(5627) unto <1519> the feast <1859>, not <3756> openly <5320>, but <235> as it were <5613> in <1722> secret <2927>.
11. Then <3767> the Jews <2453> sought <2212>(5707) him <846> at <1722> the feast <1859>, and <2532> said <3004>(5707), Where <4226> is <2076>(5748) he <1565>?
12. And <2532> there was <2258>(5713) much <4183> murmuring <1112> among <1722> the people <3793> concerning <4012> him <846>: for some <3303> said <3004>(5707), <3754> He is <2076>(5748) a good man <18>: others <1161> <243> said <3004>(5707), Nay <3756>; but <235> he deceiveth <4105>(5719) the people <3793>.
13. Howbeit <3305> no man <3762> spake <2980>(5707) openly <3954> of <4012> him <846> for <1223> fear <5401> of the Jews <2453>.
14. Now <2235> about <1161> the midst of <3322>(5723) the feast <1859> Jesus <2424> went up <305>(5627) into <1519> the temple <2411>, and <2532> taught <1321>(5707).
15. And <2532> the Jews <2453> marvelled <2296>(5707), saying <3004>(5723), How <4459> knoweth <1492>(5758) this man <3778> letters <1121>, having <3129> <0> never <3361> learned <3129>(5761)?
16. Jesus <2424> answered <611>(5662) them <846>, and <2532> said <2036>(5627), My <1699> doctrine <1322> is <2076>(5748) not <3756> mine <1699>, but <235> his that sent <3992>(5660) me <3165>.
17. If <1437> any man <5100> will <2309>(5725) do <4160>(5721) his <846> will <2307>, he shall know <1097>(5695) of <4012> the doctrine <1322>, whether <4220> it be <2076>(5748) of <1537> God <2316>, or <2228> whether I <1473> speak <2980>(5719) of <575> myself <1683>.
18. He that speaketh <2980>(5723) of <575> himself <1438> seeketh <2212>(5719) his own <2398> glory <1391>: but <1161> he that seeketh <2212>(5723) his glory <1391> that sent <3992>(5660) him <846>, the same <3778> is <2076>(5748) true <227>, and <2532> no <3756> unrighteousness <93> is <2076>(5748) in <1722> him <846>.
19. Did <1325> <0> not <3756> Moses <3475> give <1325>(5758) you <5213> the law <3551>, and <2532> yet none <3762> of <1537> you <5216> keepeth <4160>(5719) the law <3551>? Why <5101> go ye about <2212>(5719) to kill <615>(5658) me <3165>?
20. The people <3793> answered <611>(5662) and <2532> said <2036>(5627), Thou hast <2192>(5719) a devil <1140>: who <5101> goeth about <2212>(5719) to kill <615>(5658) thee <4571>?
21. Jesus <2424> answered <611>(5662) and <2532> said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, I have done <4160>(5656) one <1520> work <2041>, and <2532> ye <2296> <0> all <3956> marvel <2296>(5719).
22. Moses <3475> therefore <1223> <5124> gave <1325>(5758) unto you <5213> circumcision <4061>; (not <3756> because <3754> it is <2076>(5748) of <1537> Moses <3475>, but <235> of <1537> the fathers <3962>;) and <2532> ye <4059> <0> on <1722> the sabbath day <4521> circumcise <4059>(5719) a man <444>.
23. If <1487> a man <444> on <1722> the sabbath day <4521> receive <2983>(5719) circumcision <4061>, that <3363> <0> the law <3551> of Moses <3475> should <3089> <0> not <3363> be broken <3089>(5686); are ye angry <5520>(5719) at me <1698>, because <3754> I have made <4160>(5656) a man <444> every whit <3650> whole <5199> on <1722> the sabbath day <4521>?
24. Judge <2919>(5720) not <3361> according to <2596> the appearance <3799>, but <235> judge <2919>(5657) righteous <1342> judgment <2920>.
25. Then <3767> said <3004>(5707) some <5100> of <1537> them of Jerusalem <2415>, Is <2076>(5748) not <3756> this <3778> he, whom <3739> they seek <2212>(5719) to kill <615>(5658)?
26. But <2532>, lo <2396>, he speaketh <2980>(5719) boldly <3954>, and <2532> they say <3004>(5719) nothing <3762> unto him <846>. Do <1097> <0> the rulers <758> know <1097>(5627) indeed <3379> <230> that <3754> this <3778> is <2076>(5748) the very <230> Christ <5547>?
27. Howbeit <235> we know <1492>(5758) this man <5126> whence <4159> he is <2076>(5748): but <1161> when <3752> Christ <5547> cometh <2064>(5741), no man <3762> knoweth <1097>(5719) whence <4159> he is <2076>(5748).
28. Then <3767> cried <2896>(5656) Jesus <2424> in <1722> the temple <2411> as he taught <1321>(5723), <2532> saying <3004>(5723), Ye both <2504> know me <1492>(5758), and <2532> ye know <1492>(5758) whence <4159> I am <1510>(5748): and <2532> I am <2064> <0> not <3756> come <2064>(5754) of <575> myself <1683>, but <235> he that sent <3992>(5660) me <3165> is <2076>(5748) true <228>, whom <3739> ye <5210> know <1492>(5758) not <3756>.
29. But <1161> I <1473> know <1492>(5758) him <846>: for <3754> I am <1510>(5748) from <3844> him <846>, and he <2548> hath sent <649>(5656) me <3165>.
30. Then <3767> they sought <2212>(5707) to take <4084>(5658) him <846>: but <2532> no man <3762> laid <1911>(5627) hands <5495> on <1909> him <846>, because <3754> his <846> hour <5610> was <2064> <0> not yet <3768> come <2064>(5715).
31. And <1161> many <4183> of <1537> the people <3793> believed <4100>(5656) on <1519> him <846>, and <2532> said <3004>(5707), <3754> When <3752> Christ <5547> cometh <2064>(5632), will he do <3385> <4160>(5692) more <4119> miracles <4592> than these <5130> which <3739> this <3778> man hath done <4160>(5656)?
32. The Pharisees <5330> heard <191>(5656) that the people <3793> murmured <1111>(5723) such things <5023> concerning <4012> him <846>; and <2532> the Pharisees <5330> and <2532> the chief priests <749> sent <649>(5656) officers <5257> to <2443> take <4084>(5661) him <846>.
33. Then <3767> said <2036>(5627) Jesus <2424> unto them <846>, Yet <2089> a little <3398> while <5550> am I <1510>(5748) with <3326> you <5216>, and <2532> then I go <5217>(5719) unto <4314> him that sent <3992>(5660) me <3165>.
34. Ye shall seek <2212>(5692) me <3165>, and <2532> shall <2147> <0> not <3756> find <2147>(5692) me: and <2532> where <3699> I <1473> am <1510>(5748), thither ye <5210> cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) come <2064>(5629).
35. Then <3767> said <2036>(5627) the Jews <2453> among <4314> themselves <1438>, Whither <4226> will <3195>(5719) he <3778> go <4198>(5738), that <3754> we <2249> shall <2147> <0> not <3756> find <2147>(5692) him <846>? will <3361> <3195>(5719) he go <4198>(5738) unto <1519> the dispersed <1290> among the Gentiles <1672>, and <2532> teach <1321>(5721) the Gentiles <1672>?
36. What <5101> manner of saying <3056> is <2076>(5748) this <3778> that <3739> he said <2036>(5627), Ye shall seek <2212>(5692) me <3165>, and <2532> shall <2147> <0> not <3756> find <2147>(5692) me: and <2532> where <3699> I <1473> am <1510>(5748), thither ye <5210> cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) come <2064>(5629)?
37. <1161> In <1722> the last <2078> day <2250>, that great <3173> day of the feast <1859>, Jesus <2424> stood <2476>(5715) and <2532> cried <2896>(5656), saying <3004>(5723), If <1437> any man <5100> thirst <1372>(5725), let him come <2064>(5737) unto <4314> me <3165>, and <2532> drink <4095>(5720).
38. He that believeth <4100>(5723) on <1519> me <1691>, as <2531> the scripture <1124> hath said <2036>(5627), out of <1537> his <846> belly <2836> shall flow <4482>(5692) rivers <4215> of living <2198>(5723) water <5204>.
39. (But <1161> this <5124> spake he <2036>(5627) of <4012> the Spirit <4151>, which <3739> they that believe <4100>(5723) on <1519> him <846> should <3195>(5707) receive <2983>(5721): for <1063> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> was <2258>(5713) not yet <3768> given; because <3754> that Jesus <2424> was <1392> <0> not yet <3764> glorified <1392>(5681).)
40. Many <4183> of <1537> the people <3793> therefore <3767>, when they heard <191>(5660) this saying <3056>, said <3004>(5707), Of a truth <230> this <3778> is <2076>(5748) the Prophet <4396>.
41. Others <243> said <3004>(5707), This <3778> is <2076>(5748) the Christ <5547>. But <1161> some <243> said <3004>(5707), <1063> Shall <3361> Christ <5547> come <2064>(5736) out of <1537> Galilee <1056>?
42. Hath not <3780> the scripture <1124> said <2036>(5627), That <3754> Christ <5547> cometh <2064>(5736) of <1537> the seed <4690> of David <1138>, and <2532> out of <575> the town <2968> of Bethlehem <965>, where <3699> David <1138> was <2258>(5713)?
43. So <3767> there was <1096>(5633) a division <4978> among <1722> the people <3793> because <1223> of him <846>.
44. And <1161> some <5100> of <1537> them <846> would <2309>(5707) have taken <4084>(5658) him <846>; but <235> no man <3762> laid <1911>(5627) hands <5495> on <1909> him <846>.
45. Then <3767> came <2064>(5627) the officers <5257> to <4314> the chief priests <749> and <2532> Pharisees <5330>; and <2532> they <1565> said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, Why <1302> have ye <71> <0> not <3756> brought <71>(5627) him <846>?
46. The officers <5257> answered <611>(5662), Never <3763> man <444> spake <3779> <2980>(5656) like <5613> this <3778> man <444>.
47. Then <3767> answered <611>(5662) them <846> the Pharisees <5330>, Are <4105> <0> ye <5210> also <2532> deceived <4105>(5769) <3361>?
48. Have any <3387> <5100> of <1537> the rulers <758> or <2228> of <1537> the Pharisees <5330> believed <4100>(5656) on <1519> him <846>?
49. But <235> this <3778> people <3793> who <3588> knoweth <1097>(5723) not <3361> the law <3551> are <1526>(5748) cursed <1944>.
50. Nicodemus <3530> saith <3004>(5719) unto <4314> them <846>, (he that came <2064>(5631) to Jesus <846> by <4314> night <3571>, being <5607>(5752) one <1520> of <1537> them <846>,)
51. Doth <2919> <0> our <2257> law <3551> judge <2919>(5719) <3361> any man <444>, before <4386> <3362> it hear <191>(5661) <3844> him <846>, and <2532> know <1097>(5632) what <5101> he doeth <4160>(5719)?
52. They answered <611>(5662) and <2532> said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, Art <3361> <1488>(5748) thou <4771> also <2532> of <1537> Galilee <1056>? Search <2045>(5657), and <2532> look <2396>: for <3754> out of <1537> Galilee <1056> ariseth <1453>(5769) no <3756> prophet <4396>.
53. And <2532> every man <1538> went <4198>(5675) unto <1519> his own <848> house <3624>.
