• 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 Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
  • 3 His 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.
  • 5 For 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.
  • 7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hates, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
  • 8 Go you up to this feast: I go not up yet to this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
  • 9 When he had said these words to them, he stayed still in Galilee.
  • 10 But when his brothers were gone up, then went he also up to 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, No; but he deceives the people.
  • 13 However, no man spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
  • 14 Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
  • 15 And the Jews marveled, saying, How knows 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 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.
  • 19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law?  Why go you about to kill me?
  • 20 The people answered and said, You have a devil: who goes about to kill you?
  • 21 Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and you all marvel.
  • 22 Moses 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?
  • 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, see, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
  • 27 However, we know this man from where he is: but when Christ comes, no man knows from where he is.
  • 28 Then 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.
  • 29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he has 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 comes, will he do more miracles than these which this man has 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 to them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go to him that sent me.
  • 34 You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come.
  • 35 Then 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?
  • 37 In 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.
  • 38 He 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.)
  • 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 Has not the scripture said, That Christ comes 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 to them, Why have you not brought him?
  • 46 The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
  • 47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are you also deceived?
  • 48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
  • 49 But this people who knows not the law are cursed.
  • 50 Nicodemus said to them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
  • 51 Does our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he does?
  • 52 They answered and said to him, Are you also of Galilee?  Search, and look: for out of Galilee rises no prophet.
  • 53 And every man went to his own house.
