JOH-7:1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would

not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

JOH-7:2 Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.

JOH-7:3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and

go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that

thou doest.

JOH-7:4 For [there is] no man [that] doeth any thing in secret,

and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these

things, show thyself to the world.

JOH-7:5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.

JOH-7:6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but

your time is alway ready.

JOH-7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I

testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

JOH-7:8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this

feast: for my time is not yet full come.

JOH-7:9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode [still]

in Galilee.

JOH-7:10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also

up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

JOH-7:11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where

is he?

JOH-7:12 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.

JOH-7:13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

JOH-7:14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the

temple, and taught.

JOH-7:15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man

letters, having never learned?

JOH-7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine,

but his that sent me.

JOH-7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the

doctrine, whether it be of God, or [whether] I speak of myself.

JOH-7:18 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.

JOH-7:19 Did not Moses give you the law, and [yet] none of you

keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

JOH-7:20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who

goeth about to kill thee?

JOH-7:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work,

 and ye all marvel.

JOH-7:22 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.

JOH-7:23 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?

JOH-7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge

righteous judgment.

JOH-7:25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he,

whom they seek to kill?

JOH-7:26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto

him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

JOH-7:27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ

cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

JOH-7:28 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.

JOH-7:29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

JOH-7:30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on

him, because his hour was not yet come.

JOH-7:31 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?

JOH-7:32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such

things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests

sent officers to take him.

JOH-7:33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with

you, and [then] I go unto him that sent me.

JOH-7:34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find [me]: and where I

am, [thither] ye cannot come.

JOH-7:35 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?

JOH-7:36 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?

JOH-7:37 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.

JOH-7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said,

out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

JOH-7:39 (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.)

JOH-7:40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this

saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.

JOH-7:41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall

Christ come out of Galilee?

JOH-7:42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the

seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

JOH-7:43 So there was a division among the people because of him.

JOH-7:44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid

hands on him.

JOH-7:45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and

Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?

JOH-7:46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.

JOH-7:47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?

JOH-7:48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on

him?

JOH-7:49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.

JOH-7:50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by

night, being one of them,)

JOH-7:51 Doth our law judge [any] man, before it hear him, and

know what he doeth?

JOH-7:52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of

Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

JOH-7:53 And every man went unto his own house.
