The Gospel according to John
John 7:1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for He would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill Him.
John 7:2 Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand.
John 7:3 His brethren therefore said unto Him, Depart hence, and go into Judae´-a, that Thy disciples also may see the works that Thou doest.
John 7:4 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.
John 7:5 For neither did His brethren believe in Him.
John 7:6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
John 7:7 The world cannot hate you; but Me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
John 7:8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for My time is not yet full come.
John 7:9 When He had said these words unto them, He abode still in Galilee.
John 7:10 But when His brethren were gone up, then went He also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
John 7:11 Then the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, Where is He?
John 7:12 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.
John 7:13 Howbeit no man spake openly of Him for fear of the Jews.
John 7:14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
John 7:15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
John 7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not Mine, but His that sent Me.
John 7:17 If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of Myself.
John 7:18 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.
John 7:19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill Me?
John 7:20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill Thee?
John 7:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
John 7:22 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.
John 7:23 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?
John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
John 7:25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this He, whom they seek to kill?
John 7:26 But, lo, He speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
John 7:27 Howbeit we know this man whence He is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence He is.
John 7:28 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.
John 7:29 But I know Him: for I am from Him, and He hath sent Me.
John 7:30 Then they sought to take Him: but no man laid hands on Him, because His hour was not yet come.
John 7:31 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?
John 7:32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning Him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him.
John 7:33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto Him that sent Me.
John 7:34 Ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
John 7:35 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?
John 7:36 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?
John 7:37 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.
John 7:38 He that believeth on Me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
John 7:39 (But this spake He of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
John 7:40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
John 7:41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
John 7:42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Beth´–lehem, where David was?
John 7:43 So there was a division among the people because of Him.
John 7:44 And some of them would have taken Him; but no man laid hands on Him.
John 7:45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought Him?
John 7:46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
John 7:47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
John 7:48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on Him?
John 7:49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
John 7:50 Nic-o-de´-mus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
John 7:51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
John 7:52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
John 7:53 And every man went unto his own house.
