John Chapter 7 (KJV)
undefined
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
undefined
Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand.
undefined
His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judæa, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
undefined
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.
undefined
For neither did his brethren believe in him.
undefined
Then Jesus said unto them,My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
undefined
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
undefined
Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.
undefined
When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
undefined
But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
undefined
Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
undefined
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.
undefined
Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
undefined
Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
undefined
And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
undefined
Jesus answered them, and said,My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
undefined
If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
undefined
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.
undefined
Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
undefined
The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
undefined
Jesus answered and said unto them,I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
undefined
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.
undefined
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?
undefined
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
undefined
Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
undefined
But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
undefined
Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
undefined
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.
undefined
But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
undefined
Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
undefined
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?
undefined
The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
undefined
Then said Jesus unto them,Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
undefined
Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
undefined
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?
undefined
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?
undefined
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.
undefined
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
undefined
(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.)
undefined
Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
undefined
Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
undefined
Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
undefined
So there was a division among the people because of him.
undefined
And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
undefined
Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
undefined
The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
undefined
Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
undefined
Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
undefined
But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
undefined
Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
undefined
Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
undefined
They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
undefined
And every man went unto his own house.
