 7:1  After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would
not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
 7:2  Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.
 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.
 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.
 7:5  For neither did his brethren believe in him.
 7:6  Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but
your time is alway ready.
 7:7  The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I
testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
 7:8  Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this
feast: for my time is not yet full come.
 7:9  When he had said these words unto them, he abode [still]
in Galilee.
 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.
 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 said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he
deceiveth the people.
 7:13  Howbeit no man spake 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 of the
doctrine, whether it be of God, or [whether] I speak of myself.
 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.
 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 devil: who
goeth about to kill thee?
 7:21  Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work,
and ye all marvel.
 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.
 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?
 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 unto
him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
 7:27  Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ
cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
 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.
 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 said, 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 unto them, Yet a little while am I with
you, and [then] I go unto him that sent me.
 7:34  Ye shall seek me, and shall not find [me]: and where I
am, [thither] ye cannot come.
 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?
 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?
 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.
 7:38  He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out
of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
 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.)
 7:40  Many of the people therefore, when they heard this
saying, said, Of a 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 of 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 unto them, Why have ye not brought
him?
 7:46  The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
 7:47  Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
 7:48  Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on
him?
 7:49  But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
 7:50  Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by
night, being one of them,)
 7:51  Doth our law judge [any] man, before it hear him, and
know what he doeth?
 7:52  They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of
Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no
prophet.
 7:53  And every man went unto his own house.
