Noyes - John - 7

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

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

7:3  His brothers therefore said to him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou art doing.

7:4  For no one doeth anything in secret, and yet himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world.

7:5  For even his brothers did not believe in him.

7:6  Jesus saith to them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.

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

7:8  Go ye up to the feast; I go not up to this feast; for my time is not yet fully come.

7:9  Having said these things, he remained in Galilee.

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

7:11  The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is that man?

7:12  And there was much debating among the multitude concerning him. Some said, He is a good man; others said, Nay, but he deceiveth the multitude.

7:13  No one, however, spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.

7:14  But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

7:15  The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

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

7:17  If any one is desirous to do his will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from myself.

7:18  He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and in him is no unrighteousness.

7:19  Hath not Moses given you the Law? and none of you keepeth the Law! Why do ye seek to kill me?

7:20  The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon! Who seeketh to kill thee?

7:21  Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one good work, and ye are all wondering.

7:22  Moses hath given you circumcision, (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man.

7:23  If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye angry at me, because I have restored soundness to the whole body of a man on the sabbath?

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

7:25  Then some of the men of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

7:26  and see! he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers discovered certainly that this man is the Christ?

7:27  Still, as to this man, we know whence he is; but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is.

7:28  Jesus therefore cried aloud, teaching in the temple and saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but there is in truth one who sent me, whom ye know not.

7:29  I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.

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

7:31  But of the multitude many believed in him, and said, When the Christ cometh, will he do more signs than these which this man doeth?

7:32  The Pharisees heard the multitude thus debating concerning him; and the chief priest and the Pharisees sent officers to seize him.

7:33  Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while I am with you, and then I go to him that sent me.

7:34  Ye will seek me and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come.

7:35  The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will this man go, that we shall not find him? Will he go to the dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

7:36  What meaneth this which he said, Ye will seek me, and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?

7:37  On the last day, which is the great day, of the feast, Jesus stood and cried aloud, saying, If any one thirst, let him come to me, and drink.

7:38  He that believeth in me, from within him, as the Scripture hath said, will flow rivers of living water.

7:39  But this he said of the Spirit, which those that believed in him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

7:40  Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is in truth the prophet. Others said, This is the Christ.

7:41  Others said, Doth the Christ then come from Galilee?

7:42  Hath not the Scripture said, that the Christ cometh from the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?

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

7:44  And some of them wished to seize him; but no one laid hands on him.

7:45  The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why did ye not bring him?

7:46  The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.

7:47  The Pharisees answered them, Have ye also been deceived?

7:48  Hath any one of the rulers believed in him? or of the Pharisees?

7:49  but this multitude that know not the Law are accursed.

7:50  Nicodemus saith to them, being one of them,

7:51  Doth our law judge a man, unless it first hear from him, and know what he doeth?

7:52  They answered and said to him, Art thou too from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet ariseth from Galilee.

7:53  [And they went each to his house;
