After
these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he
would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought
to kill him.
02 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at
hand.
03 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart
hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples
also may see the works that thou doest.
04 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.
05 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
06 Then Jesus said unto them, My time
is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
07 The world cannot hate
you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it,
that the works thereof are evil.
08 Go ye up unto this
feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my
time is not yet full come.
09 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.
