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 Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand. |
3 | His
1brethren 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 1brethren 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
1sabbath day circumcise a man.
1
Num 28:9,
Matt 12:5
|
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 1Prophet.

Matt 21:11,
Luke 7:16,
John 6:14,
John 9:17
|
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?
Micah 5:2
Matt 2:6
|
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, 1Never
man spake like this man.

Isa 50:4,
Matt 7:29
|
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. |
