| 1 And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not
walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him. 2 Now the feast of
the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand. 3 His brethren therefore
said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may
behold thy works which thou doest. 4 For no man doeth anything in secret,
and himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest
thyself to the world. 5 For even his brethren did not believe on him.
6 Jesus therefore saith unto them, My time is not yet come; but your time
is always ready. 7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I
testify of it, that its works are evil. 8 Go ye up unto the feast: I go
not up unto this feast; because my time is not yet fulfilled. 9 And having
said these things unto them, he abode still in Galilee. 10 But
when his brethren were gone up unto the feast, then went he also up, not
publicly, but as it were in secret. 11 The Jews therefore sought him at
the feast, and said, Where is he? 12 And there was much murmuring among
the multitudes concerning him: some said, He is a good man; others said, Not
so, but he leadeth the multitude astray. 13 Yet no man spake openly of him
for fear of the Jews. 14 But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus
went up into the temple, and taught. 15 The Jews therefore marvelled,
saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? 16 Jesus
therefore answered them and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent
me. 17 If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching,
whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself. 18 He that
speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of
him 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 doeth the
law? Why seek ye to kill me? 20 The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon:
who seeketh to kill thee? 21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I did one
work, and ye all marvel because thereof. 22 Moses hath given you
circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers); and on the
sabbath ye circumcise a man. 23 If a man receiveth circumcision on the
sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye wroth with me,
because I made a man every whit whole on the sabbath? 24 Judge not
according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment. 25 Some therefore
of them of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? 26 And
lo, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing unto him. Can it be that the
rulers indeed know that this is the Christ? 27 Howbeit we know this man
whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is.
28 Jesus therefore cried in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know
me, and know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is
true, whom ye know not. 29 I know him; because I am from him, and he sent
me. 30 They sought therefore to take him: and no man laid his hand on him,
because his hour was not yet come. 31 But of the multitude many believed
on him; and they said, When the Christ shall come, will he do more signs than
those which this man hath done? 32 The Pharisees heard the multitude
murmuring these things concerning him; and the chief priests and the
Pharisees sent officers to take him. 33 Jesus therefore said, Yet a little
while am I with you, and I go unto him that sent me. 34 Ye shall seek me,
and shall not find me: and where I am, ye cannot come. 35 The Jews
therefore said among themselves, Whither will this man go that we shall not
find him? will he go unto the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the
Greeks? 36 What is this word that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not
find me; and where I am, ye cannot come? 37 Now on the last day, the 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, from within him shall flow rivers of living water.
39 But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were
to receive: for the Spirit was not yet given; because Jesus was not
yet glorified. 40 Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard
these words, said, This is of a truth the prophet. 41 Others said, This is
the Christ. But some said, What, doth the Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Hath not the scripture said that the Christ cometh of the seed of
David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was? 43 So there arose
a division in the multitude because of him. 44 And some of them would have
taken him; but no man laid hands on him. 45 The officers therefore came to
the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why did ye not
bring him? 46 The officers answered, Never man so spake. 47 The
Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also led astray? 48 Hath any of
the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees? 49 But this multitude
that knoweth not the law are accursed. 50 Nicodemus saith unto them (he
that came to him before, being one of them), 51 Doth our law judge a man,
except it first hear from himself and know what he doeth? 52 They answered
and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and see that out of
Galilee ariseth no prophet.
53 And they went every man unto his own house:
