John 7
- 1After these things Jesus walked in Galilee. For he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
- 2Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was near.
- 3His brothers therefore said to him, Leave here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see the works that you do.
- 4For there is no man that does anything in secret, and he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.
- 5For neither did his brothers believe in him.
- 6Then Jesus said to them, My time has not yet come. But your time is always ready.
- 7The world cannot hate you. But me it hates, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.
- 8Go up to this feast. I do not go up yet to this feast. For my time has not yet fully come.
- 9When he had said these words to them, he stayed still in Galilee.
- 10But when his brothers had gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
- 11Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
- 12And there was much whispered talk among the people concerning him. For some said, He is a good man. Others said, No, but he deceives the people.
- 13However no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
- 14Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
- 15And the Jews were amazed, saying, How does this man have such learning without having studied?
- 16Jesus answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
- 17If anyone wants to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak on my own.
- 18He who speaks on his own seeks his own glory. But he who seeks the glory of him who sent him, he is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
- 19Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why are you seeking to kill me?
- 20The people answered and said, You have a demon. Who is trying to kill you?
- 21Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and you are all amazed.
- 22Moses therefore gave you circumcision, not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers, and you on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
- 23If a man on the sabbath day receives circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry at me, because I have made a man completely whole on the sabbath day?
- 24Do not judge according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
- 25Then some of them of Jerusalem said, Is this not the man they are trying to kill?
- 26But he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
- 27However we know this man, where he is from. But when Christ comes, no man knows where he is from.
- 28Then Jesus cried in the temple as he taught, saying, You both know me, and you know where I am from. And I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, and you do not know him.
- 29But I know him. For I am from him, and he has sent me.
- 30Then they sought to take him. But no man laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
- 31And many of the people believed in him, and said, When Christ comes, will he do more miracles than these which this man has done?
- 32The Pharisees heard that the people were saying these things quietly concerning him. And the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
- 33Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while I am with you, and then I go to him who sent me.
- 34You shall seek me, and shall not find me. And where I am, there you cannot come.
- 35Then the Jews said 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?
- 36What kind of saying is this that he said, You shall seek me, and shall not find me. And where I am, there you cannot come?
- 37In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and drink.
- 38He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
- 39But this he spoke of the Spirit that those who believe in him would receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
- 40Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, This is truly the Prophet.
- 41Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
- 42Has not the scripture said, That Christ comes of the descendants of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
- 43So there was a division among the people because of him.
- 44And some of them would have taken him. But no man laid hands on him.
- 45Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And they said to them, Why have you not brought him?
- 46The officers answered, No one ever spoke like this man.
- 47Then answered them the Pharisees, Are you also deceived?
- 48Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?
- 49But this people who do not know the law are cursed.
- 50Nicodemus, who came to Jesus by night, being one of them, says to them,
- 51Does our law judge any man, before it hears him and knows what he does?
- 52They answered and said to him, Are you also of Galilee? Search, and see. For out of Galilee arises no prophet.
- 53And every man went to his own house.
