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 Jews' 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.
