Jubilee2000 - John - 7

7:1  After these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judea because the Jews sought to kill him.

7:2  Now the feast of the Jews, [of] the tabernacles, was at hand.

7:3  His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart from this place and go into Judea that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.

7:4  For no one who seeks to be clearly known does anything in secret. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.

7:5  For not even his brethren believed in him.

7:6  Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come, but your time is always ready.

7:7  The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify of it that its works are evil.

7:8  Go ye up unto this feast; I go not up yet unto this feast, for my time is not yet fulfilled.

7:9  And having said these things unto them, he abode still in Galilee.

7:10  But when his brethren were gone up, then he also went up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

7:11  Then the Jews sought him at the feast and said, Where is he?

7:12  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.

7:13  But no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

7:14  Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

7:15  And the Jews marvelled, saying, How does this man know letters, having never learned?

7:16  Jesus answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

7:17  If anyone desires to do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it is of God or [whether] I speak of myself.

7:18  He that speaks of himself seeks his own glory, but he that seeks the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

7:19  Did not Moses give you the law, and [yet] none of you keeps the law? Why do ye go about to kill me?

7:20  The people answered and said, Thou hast a demon; who goes about to kill thee?

7:21  Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.

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.

7:23  If a man on the sabbath day receives circumcision without the law of Moses being broken, are ye angry at me because I have made a man entirely whole on the sabbath day?

7:24  Judge not according to the appearance, but judge [with] righteous judgment.

7:25  Then one of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

7:26  But, behold, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Have the rulers truly understood that this is indeed the Christ?

7:27  But we know where this man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one shall know where he is from.

7:28  Then Jesus cried out in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye know me, and ye know from where I come, but I have not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

7:29  But I know him, for I am from him, and he has sent me.

7:30  Then they sought to take him, but no one laid hands on him because his hour was not yet come.

7:31  And many of the people believed in him and said, When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than these which this [man] has done?

7:32  The Pharisees heard the people that murmured such things concerning him, and the princes of the priests and the Pharisees sent officers to take him.

7:33  Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while I shall be with you, and [then] I shall go unto him that sent me.

7:34  Ye shall seek me and shall not find [me], and where I shall be, ye shall not be able to come.

7:35  Then the Jews said among themselves, Where will he go that we shall not find him? Will he go unto the dispersed among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

7:36  What [manner of] saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me and shall not find [me], and where I shall be ye shall not be able to come?

7:37  In the last day, that great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If any man thirsts, let him come unto me and drink.

7:38  He that believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

7:39  (But this he spoke concerning the Spirit, which those that believe on him should receive, for the Holy Spirit was not yet [given] because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

7:40  Then many of the people, when they heard this word, said, Truly this is the Prophet.

7:41  Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall the Christ come out of Galilee?

7:42  Has not the scripture said, That the Christ comes of the seed of David and out of the town of Bethlehem where David was?

7:43  So there was a division among the people because of him.

7:44  And some of them would have taken him, but no one laid hands on him.

7:45  Then the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees came, and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?

7:46  The officers answered, Never has anyone spoken like this man.

7:47  Then the Pharisees answered them, Are ye also deceived?

7:48  Have any of the princes or of the Pharisees believed on him?

7:49  But this people who do not know the law are cursed.

7:50  Nicodemus said unto them (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them),

7:51  Does our law judge [any] man before it hears him and knows what he does?

7:52  They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and see, for a prophet has never arisen out of Galilee.

7:53  And each [one] went unto his own house.:
