• John 7:1

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

  • John 7:2

    Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.

  • John 7:3

    His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.

  • John 7:4

    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.

  • John 7:5

    For neither did his brethren believe in him.

  • John 7:6

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

  • John 7:7

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

  • John 7:8

    Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.

  • John 7:9

    When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.

  • John 7:10

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

  • John 7:11

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

  • John 7:12

    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.

  • John 7:13

    Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

  • John 7:14

    Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

  • John 7:15

    And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters,a having never learned?

  • John 7:16

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

  • John 7:17

    If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

  • John 7:18

    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.

  • John 7:19

    Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

  • John 7:20

    The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?

  • John 7:21

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

  • John 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.

  • John 7:23

    If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, thatb 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?

  • John 7:24

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

  • John 7:25

    Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

  • John 7:26

    But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

  • John 7:27

    Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

  • John 7:28

    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.

  • John 7:29

    But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

  • John 7:30

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

  • John 7:31

    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?

  • John 7:32

    The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.

  • John 7:33

    Then said Jesus unto them,Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.

  • John 7:34

    Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.

  • John 7:35

    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,c and teach the Gentiles?

  • John 7:36

    What manner of saying is this that he said,Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: andwhere I am, thither ye cannot come?

  • John 7:37

    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.

  • John 7:38

    He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

  • John 7:39

    (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.)

  • John 7:40

    Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.

  • John 7:41

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