John
- 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 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?
