John 7

6 Jesus reproveth the ambition of his cousins. 12 There are divers opinions of him among the people. 17 He sheweth how to know the truth. 20 The injury they do unto him. 47 The Pharises rebuke the officers because they have not taken him, 52 And chide with Nicodemus for taking his part.
1.After these things, Jesus walked in Galile, and would not walk in Judea: for the Jews sought to kill him.
2.Now the Jews’ *afeast of the Tabernacles was at hand.
3.His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples may see thy works that thou doest.
4.For there is no man that doeth any thing secretly, and he him self seeketh to be ^famous. If thou doest these things, shewe thy self to the world.
5.For as yet his brethren believed not in him.
6.Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
7.The world can not hate you: but me it hateth, bbecause I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
8.Go ye up unto this feast: I will cnot go up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet fulfilled.
9.¶ These things he said unto them, and abode still in Galile.
10.But assoon as his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were prively.
11.Then the Jews sought him at the feast, & said, Where is he?
12.And much murmuring was there of him among the people. Some said, He is a good man: other said, Nay: but he deceiveth the people.
13.Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the dJews.
14.Now when half the feast was done, Jesus went up into the Temple and taught.
15.And the Jews marveled, saying, How knoweth this man the ^Scriptures, seeing that he never learned.
16.Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not emine, 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 my self.
18.He fthat speaketh of him self, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no gunrighteousness is in him.
19.*Did not Moses give you a Law, and yet none of you kepeth the Law? *Why go ye about to kill me?
20.The hpeople answered, and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
21.Jesus answered, and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all imarvel.
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 receive circumcision, that the Law of Moses should not be broken, be ye angry with me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the Sabbath day?
24.*Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgement.
25.¶ Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they go about to kill?
26.And behold, he speaketh ^openly, and they say nothing to him: do the rulers know in deed that this is the very Christ?
27.Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man shall know whence he is.
28.¶ Then cried Jesus in the Temple as he taught, saying, Ye kboth know me, and know whence I am: yet am I not come of my self, but he that sent me, is true, whom ye know not.
29.But I know him: for I am of 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.Now many of the people lbelieved in him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do mo miracles then this man hath done?
32.The Pharises heard that the people murmured these things of him, and the Pharises, and high Priests sent officers to take him.
33.Then said Jesus unto them, Yet am I malittle while with you, and then go I unto him that sent me.
34.*Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me, and where I ^am, can ye not come.
35.Then said the Jews amongs them selves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? Will he go unto them that are ^dispersed among the nGrecians, and teach the Grecians?
36.What saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me? and where I am, can ye not come?
37.Now in the last and *great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38.He that obelieveth in me, *as saith the Scripture, out of his belly shall flow rivers of water pof life.
39.(*This spake he of the Spirit which they that believed in him, should receive: for the qholie Ghost was not yet given because that Jesus was not yet glorified.
40.So many of the people, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the rProphet.
41.Other said, This is the Christ: and some said, But shall Christ come out of Galile?
42.*Saith not the Scripture that the Christ shall come of the seed of David, and out of the town of Beth-lehem, where David was?
43.So was there dissension among the people for him.
44.And some of them would have taken him, but no man laid hands on him.
45.Then came the officers to the high Priests and Pharises, and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
46.The officers answered, sNever man spake like this man.
47.Then answered them the Pharises, Are ye also deceived?
48.Doeth any of the trulers, or of the Pharises believe in him?
49.But this people, which know not the Law, are cursed.
50.Nicodemus said unto them, (*he that came to Jesus by night, and was one of them.)
51.Doeth our Law judge a man before it hear him, *and know what he hath done?
52.They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galile? Search and look: for out of Galile ariseth no Prophet.
53.And every man went unto his own house.
