| 1 | | After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. |
| 2 | | Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand. |
| 3 | | His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. |
| 4 | | For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. |
| 5 | | For neither did his brethren believe in him. |
| 6 | | Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. |
| 7 | | The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. |
| 8 | | Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come. |
| 9 | | When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee. |
| 10 | | But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. |
| 11 | | Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? |
| 12 | | And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people. |
| 13 | | Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews. |
| 14 | | Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. |
| 15 | | And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? |
| 16 | | Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. |
| 17 | | If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. |
| 18 | | He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. |
| 19 | | Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? |
| 20 | | The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee? |
| 21 | | Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. |
| 22 | | Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. |
| 23 | | If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? |
| 24 | | Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. |
| 25 | | Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? |
| 26 | | But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? |
| 27 | | Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. |
| 28 | | Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. |
| 29 | | But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me. |
| 30 | | Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. |
| 31 | | And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done? |
| 32 | | The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. |
| 33 | | Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me. |
| 34 | | Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come. |
| 35 | | Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? |
| 36 | | What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come? |
| 37 | | In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. |
| 38 | | He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. |
| 39 | | (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) |
| 40 | | Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. |
| 41 | | Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? |
| 42 | | Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? |
| 43 | | So there was a division among the people because of him. |
| 44 | | And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him. |
| 45 | | Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? |
| 46 | | The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. |
| 47 | | Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? |
| 48 | | Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? |
| 49 | | But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. |
| 50 | | Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) |
| 51 | | Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? |
| 52 | | They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. |
| 53 | | And every man went unto his own house. |
