Chapter 7
|
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 brethren 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 brethren 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 sabbath
day circumcise a man. |
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 Prophet. |
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? |
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, Never man spake like this man. |
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. |
