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