John 7

John 7:1-50
1
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews
sought to kill him. 2Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand. 3His brothers therefore said
to him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that your disciples also may see the works that you do.
4
For there is no man that does any thing in secret, and he himself seeks to be known openly. If
you do these things, show yourself to the world. 5For neither did his brothers believe in him.
6
Then Jesus said to them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready. 7The world
cannot hate you; but me it hates, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. 8Go you
up to this feast: I go not up yet to this feast: for my time is not yet full come. 9When he had said
these words to them, he stayed still in Galilee. 10But when his brothers were gone up, then went
he also up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. 11Then the Jews sought him at the
feast, and said, Where is he? 12And there was much murmuring among the people concerning
him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, No; but he deceives the people. 13However,
no man spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews. 14Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went
up into the temple, and taught. 15And the Jews marveled, saying, How knows this man letters,
having never learned? 16Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that
sent me. 17If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or
whether I speak of myself. 18He that speaks of himself seeks his own glory: but he that seeks his
glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. 19Did not Moses give you
the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why go you about to kill me? 20The people
answered and said, You have a devil: who goes about to kill you? 21Jesus answered and said to
them, I have done one work, and you all marvel. 22Moses therefore gave to you circumcision;
(not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and you 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 you angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? 24Judge
not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. 25Then said some of them of
Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? 26But, see, he speaks boldly, and they say
nothing to him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? 27However, we know this
man from where he is: but when Christ comes, no man knows from where he is. 28Then cried
Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, You both know me, and you know from where I am: and
I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom you know not. 29But I know him: for
I am from him, and he has sent me. 30Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on
him, because his hour was not yet come. 31And many of the people believed on him, and said,
When Christ comes, will he do more miracles than these which this man has done? 32The
Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the
chief priests sent officers to take him. 33Then said Jesus to them, Yet a little while am I with you,
and then I go to him that sent me. 34You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am,
thither you cannot come. 35Then 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?
36
What manner of saying is this that he said, You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where
I am, thither you cannot come? 37In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and
cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink. 38He that believes on me, as the
scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39(But this spoke 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.) 40Many of the people therefore, when they heard this
saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. 41Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall
Christ come out of Galilee? 42Has not the scripture said, That Christ comes of the seed of David,
and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? 43So there was a division among the
people because of him. 44And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on
him. 45Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, Why
have you not brought him? 46The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man. 47Then
answered them the Pharisees, Are you also deceived? 48Have any of the rulers or of the
Pharisees believed on him? 49But this people who knows not the law are cursed. 50Nicodemus
said to them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
