²³ Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival,^(A) many people saw the signs^(B) he was performing and believed^(C) in his name.^[a]

² He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi,^(A) we know^(B) that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs^(C) you are doing if God were not with him.”^(D)

⁵⁴ This was the second sign^(A) Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee.

¹⁴ After the people saw the sign^(A) Jesus performed, they began to say, “Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”^(B)

²⁶ Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me,^(A) not because you saw the signs^(B) I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.

³⁰ So they asked him, “What sign^(A) then will you give that we may see it and believe you?^(B) What will you do?

³¹ Still, many in the crowd believed in him.^(A) They said, “When the Messiah comes, will he perform more signs^(B) than this man?”

¹⁶ Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.”^(A)

But others asked, “How can a sinner perform such signs?”^(B) So they were divided.^(C)
