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