Photon energy dependent angle-resolved photoemission measurements were performed to disentangle surface and bulk contributions to the electronic structure of the 3D topological insulator (TI) Sb2Te3. We discover a penetration of the topological surface state (TSS) into the bulk valence band regime where it coexists with bulk states without considerable hybridization. Our results indicate an emerging k⊥-dispersion of the TSS at higher binding energies, which we attribute to an increasing bulk character. These observations deviate from previous findings for the isostructural TIs Bi2Se3 and Bi2Te3. Our results are supported by fully relativistic one-step photoemission calculations.
